A TWO-NIGHT "VIGNERON" EXPERIENCE AT TRES SABORES IN SUPPORT OF NAPA GREEN

The Invitation:

Step away from the tourist path and into the heart of the Napa Valley. You and a guest are invited to the western foothills of the Rutherford Bench for a two-night stay at the Tres Sabores Casita—a charming, private retreat tucked directly into the vines of our Napa Green certified organic estate.

Tres Sabores is a woman-owned and led "hidden gem" where world-class winemaking meets a vibrant, living ecosystem. This isn't just a getaway; it’s an invitation to join owner and winemaker Julie Johnson and her team to see exactly what makes this ranch tick.

Live the "Ranch Life"

Depending on the season, you’ll roll up your sleeves and join the daily rhythm of a working farm. Whether you are a wine aficionado or a nature lover, you will gain rare insight into a small-scale, high-quality operation.

Your seasonal adventure may include:

● The Herd: Bringing the sheep and goats out to the vineyard for morning grazing.

● The Harvest: Bringing in the grapes during the height of the season or harvesting heritage olives from our ancient groves.

● Sustainability: Making Biochar or adding native plantings to our vital hedgerows.

● Stewardship: Monitoring the songbird boxes that dot our ranch.

Included in Your Stay:

● Lodging: Two nights for two guests in our cozy, vineyard-side Casita.

● Culinary: Three farm-fresh meals shared on the ranch.

● The Vines: An intimate look at our gnarled, 50-year-old Zinfandel, Cabernet, and Petite Sirah vines.

● The Spirit: Comprehensive tastings of our estate wines, fermented with ambient yeasts to capture a genuine expression of our Rutherford home.

● Wellness: Guest passes to our local gym and pool, plus passes to the nearby Napa State Park for a gorgeous hike in the Mayacamas Mountains.

"At Tres Sabores, we believe the most essential ingredient in any wine is the company with whom you share it around the table."
