Robert Mondavi Signature Tour and Tasting, Oakville, Napa Valley, California, USA
The Robert Mondavi Winery was one of the first in the Napa Valley to welcome visitors for tours, events, concerts and tastings.
The tour costs $25 per person and lasts approximately 75 minutes. It provides an in-depth winery tour, which follows the path of the grape from the vineyard to the cellar to the finished wine.
Guests walk into the To Kalon Vineyard, visit the winemaking cellars (including fermentation and barrel aging) and receive a seated educational tasting of three wines with one of the wine education specialists.
On this tour, Doug Frost - who is Master Sommelier and Master of Wine at the winery - took the tour and his enthusiasm for wine shows throughout the tour!

Venge Vineyards - Calistoga, California
The Venge (ven-ghee) family has farmed vitis viniferra varieties in Napa Valley for nearly a half-century. The family's viticultural roots flourished in 1976 with the purchase of a 17-acre vineyard in the Oakville District that was planted to Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Nils' son, Kirk Venge, gravitated to winemaking at an early age. He proved to be as talented a winemaker as his father, making wines in his own style, with a vision to build his own legacy in the valley. In 2008, Kirk achieved his lifelong dream and acquired full ownership of Venge Vineyards from his family. Today, Kirk continues the Napa Valley heritage, focusing on select vineyard sites that produce fruit worthy of bearing the Venge family name.
