Camp Schramsberg offers a fun-filled, hands-on, three-day camp where guests will enjoy exceptional dining, intensive learning and invaluable expertise from some of the world’s most celebrated wine and food professionals—all of this held in the Napa Valley, the epicenter of food and wine. The Camp is held twice a year, in the spring and fall, allowing two different experiences for attendees who wish to experience the complete process of sparkling wine production.
In the vineyards: Learn the art and science of vineyard location, viticultural practices and clonal selections, all of which affect the complexity of aromas and flavors in a finished Schramsberg wine. During the spring session of camp, participants will prune dormant vines, preparing them for the upcoming bud break.
At the Winery: Follow the steps of making sparkling wines in the classic méthode champenoise technique, learn the art of assemblage (sparkling wine blending) and evaluate some of the 200 base wines that are blended to make Schramsberg’s wines.
At the Table: During Camp Schramsberg, guests will feast on the best of the region’s harvest cuisine and be led by renowned Chef and Enologist Holly Peterson on a series of culinary sessions that will deepen your understanding of the complementary and contrasting flavors found between food and sparkling wines. Guests will enjoy a specially prepared welcome dinner on the historic Schramsberg property, breakfast and lunch at Meadowood Napa Valley, and many additional memorable educational dining experiences throughout the Camp.
This year’s Spring Blending Session will be held March 11-13, 2012. For additional information go to www.schramsberg.com or contact Matthew Levy at (800) 877-3623 ext. 2408 or at camp@schramsberg.com.
