Napa Valley is the iconic gem of California wine, helping put the state on the modern-day wine map. Although the days of tasting for free are long gone, today’s winery experiences are impressive, unique, and packed with memory-making moments for wine lovers. Some of these include delicious culinary options, pairing estate wines with flavorful bites prepared by the region’s numerous talented chefs.
Toasting with sparkling wine is the ideal way to begin a wine country trip. Refreshing bubbles are the aperitif that will awaken the palate and prepare it for all the flavors to come throughout the visit. In Napa, there is no better place to enjoy a tasting of premium sparkling wine than Domaine Carneros. Champagne Taittinger began the winery in 1987 in Napa’s southern Carneros region. It is the winery’s rotating Bubbles and Bites menu that showcases how versatile sparkling wine is with a variety of food pairings. The current $99 per person tasting features Peruvian flavors paired with four estate sparkling wines.
