Legacy Experience ($300 per person)

Trefethen’s Legacy Collection wines: Katie’s Acre Chardonnay, The Cowgirl & Pilot Merlot and HāLo, the winery’s flagship Cabernet Sauvignon, are highlighted in this new fully immersive and private experience. Hosted by certified sommeliers, guests will be greeted at the Historic Winery and taken on a brief tour before being guided through expansive gardens to the Villa, which previously served as the Trefethen family home. A sample menu features Katie’s Acre Chardonnay, which makes for a stellar pairing with a Classic Caviar Service for Two, and The Cowgirl and Pilot Merlot, which is highlighted by California Lamb Loin with Roasted Baby Carrots, Cumin Spiked Yogurt, and Carrot Top Chimichurri. For the first time, Trefethen will be offering a vertical of HāLo Cabernet Sauvignon which will be complemented by Dry Aged Beef Rib Eye with Puffed Bread and White Cheddar Mousse. The Legacy Experience lasts two hours and is offered weekly on Fridays at 1pm.

Twilight at Trefethen ($200 per person)

Trefethen’s signature “after hours” experience, Twilight at Trefethen returns in 2022 with some new twists. Featuring Trefethen’s small-lot bottlings, Winery Chef Chris Kennedy has created a tapas-inspired menu presented family-style featuring the bounty of “La Huerta,” Trefethen’s fruit and vegetable gardens. A sample menu includes Estate Lettuces with Preserved Meyer Lemon Green Goddess, Cured Egg Yolk, and Crispy Parmesan; La Huerta’s Best Spring Vegetables with Whipped White Miso Butter; Roasted Brassicas with Fermented Chili Paste and Confit Garlic and Sous Vide Prime Beef Short Rib with Yukon Gold Potatoes and Parsnip. Summer evenings are glorious in the Napa Valley and, if you are looking to celebrate a special occasion or enjoy a unique pre-dinner tasting, this is the experience for you. Twilight at Trefethen is offered Thursday and Friday evenings between 5-7pm for groups of 12 or fewer.

Taste the Estate ($100 per person)

Taste the Estate is Trefethen’s quintessential wine and culinary experience, highlighting the synergy of great wine and great food.
