The Napa Valley Experience

An immersive multi-wine Merlot tasting, this experience offers access to some of the world’s most coveted bottlings, from Napa’s own Merlot hideaway, AKA Sullivan Rutherford Estate, to the greatest Old-World producers of Right Bank Bordeaux or Italy’s Bolgheri. Following a tour of the Estate grounds, enjoy a private tasting of three exquisite Merlots of structure and grace from like-minded global producers along with a library vintage of the J.O. Sullivan Founder’s Reserve Merlot. A second flight will showcase a vertical lineup of the flagship J.O. Sullivan Founder’s Reserve Merlot. Each flight will be accompanied by a small bite pairing, crafted by local chef partners and specifically designed to complement each wine. Hosted by a member of Sullivan’s leadership team, secure your spot by contacting us directly.

Begin your experience with a guided walking tour of the property’s vineyards and serene gardens while learning about the 200+ year history of the Estate. Followed by a seated tasting experience, your host will share a customized selection of wines from the J.O. Sullivan Founder’s Reserve Collection.
