The ‘Vineyard to Vintner’ weekend offers intimate library wine dinners, winery open houses, private tastings, and brunch with Stags Leap District owners and winemakers. It’s the only weekend of its kind where visitors get to experience the real Napa Valley through unprecedented first-hand access to the people and the wines of the Stags Leap District. Limited seating dinners offer an extraordinary food and wine experience, as winery owners and vintners dig deep into their cellars to share their most cherished library wines.

Saturday Backstage Open Houses give attendees access to all 19 Stags Leap District wineries, their winemakers and owners, as visitors wind their way up and down the Silverado Trail from one prestigious venue to the next, while discovering winery caves, enjoying special barrel tastings, exploring the cellars, and enjoying food and wine pairings.

The weekend ends with a Sunday Vintner-Hosted Brunch and Appellation Collection Tasting where visitors are privy to the Association’s exclusive Appellation Collection, a compilation of 19 world-class Cabernet Sauvignons released annually in the fall, as well as music and brunch at Silverado Vineyards.

Tickets are released February 13, 2016. Prices range from $625 for a three-day pass, to $500 for a two-day pass (Friday/Saturday), $300 for a two-day pass (Saturday/Sunday), and $175 for a Saturday single-day pass. ‘Signature Wine Weekends for Two’ packages are available for $3,150 and include two passes for all three days of the event, the limited 2013 Appellation Collection of 19 Handcrafted 2013 SLD Designated Cabernet Sauvignons each signed exclusively by the vintners, and one Solle two-bottle jacquard and leather embossed wine tote.
