Harvest Immersion with Gilles de Chambure, MS

For Meadowood guests wishing for more than an insider tip about where to find actively crushing wineries on a given harvest day, Master Sommelier Gilles de Chambure, is available by advanced reservation to spend a full day accompanying guests to harvesting wineries with an elegant wine country picnic mid-day.

Gilles' presence offers a daylong series of special access opportunities, including personal introductions to winery owners, private, behind-the-scenes tours of areas of the wineries not accessible to the public, special tastings of wines pulled from secret racks and very often an invitation into vintners' homes when located on site.

Beginning at $2,700 per couple
