Behind the Gabion Walls: A Private Vertical at Dominus Estate for Four

AN INVITATION-ONLY VINEYARD WALK AND COLLECTOR’S TASTING FOR FOUR IN YOUNTVILLE, NAPA VALLEY IN SUPPORT OF NAPA GREEN

Exclusive Private Visit and Vertical Tasting for Four at Dominus Estate.

Rarely does an opportunity arise to step behind the gabion walls of Dominus Estate.

Established in 1983 by Christian Moueix (the legendary producer behind Bordeaux’s Château Pétrus), Dominus Estate is a bastion of old-world tradition rooted in the historic Napanook Vineyard—it was here, in 1838, that George Yount planted some of the very first vines in Napa Valley.

As the winery is strictly closed to the public, this lot offers a near-impossible-to-book journey for the serious collector. The Experience includes:

The Terroir: Your afternoon begins with a private technical walk through the Napanook Vineyard. Learn about the estate’s pioneering dry-farming practices and the gravely soils that produce the structure for which Dominus is world-renowned.

The Architecture: Step inside the iconic, gabion-clad winery designed by Pritzker Prize–winning architects Herzog & de Meuron. You will explore the "stone wickerwork" of this architectural marvel, which blends seamlessly into the Yountville landscape.

The Vertical Tasting: The visit culminates in an intimate, private tasting of multiple vintages of Dominus. This vertical exploration allows you to experience the evolution of these wines side-by-side, guided by an estate expert.

This Lot Includes:
● A private tour and technical tasting for four guests.
● In-depth discussion of viticulture and winemaking philosophy.
● A curated vertical flight of Dominus Estate wines.
● Exclusivity: Dominus Estate does not have a tasting room and does not sell wine
onsite. This is a private invitation only.
● Location: Yountville, Napa Valley.
● Fair Market Value: Priceless
● Certifications: Proudly CCOF Certified Organic and Napa Green Certified Land &
Winery

Restrictions: Subject to availability; must be scheduled at a mutually agreeable time. Please note that the winery is closed on weekends.
