30. The Noble Terroir of Promontory and Bond
The Harlan family had a plan to create a California equivalent of a Bordeaux first growth, producing a wine that would command global praise. With perfectly situated vineyards, exceptional terroir, and the talents of Harlan’s tenured team, these wines have undoubtedly earned their cult wine status. They possess all the elements of greatness - individuality, power combined with elegance, extraordinary complexity, remarkable aging potential, and compelling richness without ponderousness.
Four guests are invited to Napa for a once-in-a-lifetime wine country experience featuring the wines of Promontory and BOND that redefines the meaning of exclusivity. Begin with a private visit to Promontory led by winemaker David Cilli. Situated among the western hills of Oakville, overlooking the Napa Valley, wines from the hillsides of Promontory reflect the many aspects of the territory: the native forests, the moisture of the ephemeral fog, and the minerality of the geological underpinnings. When combined, these disparate facets provide a natural balance of freshness, energy, and tannin.
Rest and recharge in luxury at the recently reopened Meadowood Napa Valley. At once wild and refined, pristine and sophisticated, with elegant amenities that recall the civilized simplicity of earlier times, the estate unfolds from the ridges of its surrounding mountains through wooded canyons and rows of vineyards to the Napa River’s edge. This tranquil sanctuary epitomizes the essence of the Napa resort and spa experience, offering a harmonious blend of luxury, relaxation, and rejuvenation amidst breathtaking natural beauty.
Enjoy lunch at FORUM before arriving at BOND where Master Sommelier and estate director Max Kast awaits to guide you through a tasting of rare, highly rated wines. Sourced from select hillside estates, the Cabernet Sauvignon wines of BOND vividly demonstrate the range of Napa Valley’s finest terroirs. Private visits at both Promontory and BOND are extraordinarily difficult to secure and not available to the general public. End your day at with dinner at The Charter Oak. Located in the heart of Napa Valley and created by Chef Christopher Kostow of the Michelin three-starred The Restaurant at Meadowood, The Charter Oak is centered on a celebratory, family-stye dining experience with simple, approachable, and seasonal culinary delights.
Each lucky winner will also take home a bottle of BOND and Promontory wine to commemorate this special experience with some of the finest wines in the Napa Valley.
