Conn Creek Winery

offers Cabernet Sauvignon tastings in their AVA Room as part of a unique blending seminar for small groups (no more than 10 people).

Participants take part in a guided walk-around barrel tasting, sampling wine from single-vineyard sites in 14 sub-appellations – AVAs – within the Napa Valley.

After learning about various techniques and approaches to winemaking, each guest will come away with a bottle they have blended.

Creating your own unique label is part of the fun.

  • Dear Alice, it does seem to me that when you are not viewing a beautiful garden somewhere in the world you are wine tasting. What a charmed life you lead.

    Friends of mine in Hungary have their own small vineyard and to which I am invited each September to join them and others in the grape harvest. They had enormous fun creating their own wine label.
