HALL has announced the launch of new experiences at both its St. Helena and Rutherford locations that appeal to a diverse group of visitors to the Napa Valley. From the novice wine drinker to the aficionado, modern art lovers to foodies, locals and jetsetters alike – all will have the opportunity to choose from a list of unparalleled offerings aimed at engaging and educating guests in search of the quintessential wine country experience.
“We are constantly looking outside the box as we grow our offerings,” says vintner Kathryn Walt Hall. “HALL is setting the stage for showcasing a glimpse of what Napa has to offer through our new wine, food, arts and wellness programs. We like to think of them as a little splash of everything, and may that splash be of HALL and WALT wines.”
At HALL Rutherford, a new private experience titled “Appellation Exploration” serves as the premier offering. While at HALL St. Helena, located on Hwy 29, we have launched a variety of new public programs. Each St. Helena experience also includes a tasting of sister brand WALT, whose tasting room is located on the Sonoma Plaza.
