Exclusive Experience Alert!

Rarely does an opportunity arise to step behind the gabion walls of @dominusestatewinery. As the winery is strictly closed to the public, this lot offers a near-impossible-to-book journey for the serious collector.

The Terroir: Your afternoon begins with a private technical walk through the Napanook Vineyard. Learn about the estate’s pioneering dry-farming practices and the gravely soils that produce the structure for which Dominus is world-renowned.

The Architecture: Step inside the iconic, gabion-clad winery designed by Pritzker Prize–winning architects Herzog & de Meuron. You will explore the “stone wickerwork” of this architectural marvel, which blends seamlessly into the Yountville landscape.

The Vertical Tasting: The visit culminates in an intimate, private tasting of multiple vintages of Dominus. This vertical exploration allows you to experience the evolution of these wines side-by-side, guided by an estate expert.

This exclusive experience awaits your bid at the 6th Annual @grapes.for.humanity.canada Auction. Proceeds go directly towards supporting climate action initiatives within the wine industry.

Insider Experience Alert!

Experience a luxurious deep dive into one of Napa Valley’s most hallowed sites. This lot combines a historic stay at The @salvestrin.inn with a masterclass in terroir through the lens of the legendary @salvestrinwinery Dr. Crane Vineyard.

A Two-Night Estate Escape: Enjoy a two-night stay for two guests at the historic Inn at Salvestrin. Located directly on the estate, you’ll be steps away from the vines and minutes from downtown St. Helena.

The Dr. Crane Library Vertical: A private, hosted tasting for two featuring a curated vertical flight of library wines. Experience the evolution of the stony, sun-drenched Dr. Crane soils across multiple vintages.

This insider experience awaits your bid at the 6th Annual @grapes.for.humanity.canada Auction. Proceeds go directly towards supporting climate action initiatives within the wine industry.

🐑 @corisonwinery, a long-time advocate for organic practices, used a @napagreen Climate Action Matching Grant to begin grazing sheep at their Kronos Vineyard, an ancient vineyard management technique.

This initiative has helped Corison reduce emissions, improve soil health, and increase vine resilience, leading them to continue and expand the practice in subsequent years.

Thanks to @grgichhillsestate for hosting our Cover Crop Workshop last month in collaboration with @regenerativeviticulture.

We had an incredible time in the vineyard exploring cover crop with @greencoverseed.

Cover crops are essential for managing soil health, erosion control, increasing biodiversity, and a bunch of other benefits including greens for lunch!
