NAPA, Calif. (July 5, 2023) – For wine lovers looking for something new and exciting this summer, Clos du Val has the answer. The iconic Napa Valley producer announced the creation of CLOS DU GEAUX (pronounced Clos du Go), picnic ready 4-packs and a slate of new interactive experiences for those traveling to Napa.
The new portable lineup was designed to give consumers a chance to experience wine their way, making wine more accessible than ever for sipping on-the-go.
Featuring four half-bottles of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, or a mix of the two, the CLOS DU GEAUX packs are portable, convenient, and sealed with screw caps. No corkscrew is needed for fans to take on a picnic, to the beach, to a concert, or on any outdoor adventure. Each 4-pack retails for $100 and can be purchased directly from the winery.
Winemaker Carmel Greenberg crafted the wines, which include the 2022 Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc and 2021 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Both wines are vibrant, fresh and fruit-driven, and meant to pair with summer activities of all types.
“We are always looking for new and creative ways to share our wines,” said Winemaker Carmel Greenberg. “There are so many occasions where people want a little variety, accessibility or don’t want to open a full bottle. CLOS DU GEAUX is a fun and convenient way to enjoy wine with friends, at a picnic or during an outdoor concert.”
New Napa Experiences Beyond the Tasting Room
In addition to the new 4-packs, Clos du Val has a fresh slate of tasting experiences designed to connect consumers with the unique beauty of the property in the heart of the Stags Leap District. The three new experiences create special opportunities to unite wine, food and nature as guests get a close-up view of the winery’s Hirondelle vineyard.
