While Napa Valley is widely known for the abundance of wineries and vineyards along its valley floor, the Mayacamus mountain range to the west and the Vaca range to the east are truly the hidden treasures of Napa Valley. The rocky soils of the mountain vineyards provide a more austere grape growing area, yielding wines with an unchallenged depth of fruit, flavor and texture. Between the breathtaking views and the carefully crafted wines, "Napa Valley Above the Clouds" is a rare treat.

Schweiger Family Vineyards (St. Helena Spring Mountain)
Enjoy a private tour and tasting for two at Schweiger Family Vineyards, at the top of Spring Mountain in the Mayacamas Range on Napa Valley's western border. From this breathtaking location, you will have spectacular views of the surrounding hills and forest with the Valley floor sweeping beneath. At an elevation of 2,000 feet, Schweiger Family Vineyards benefits from the rich volcanic soils and unique microclimates particularly favorable for Cabernet Sauvignon. The Schweiger family is one of the long time property owners on Spring Mountain, with nearly 48 years spanning three generations living and working on the family estate. With Owner/Vintner Fred Schweiger leading the way, his son Andrew carefully crafts the harvest into the lovely estate wines that Schweiger is so well known for. Your private tour and tasting, hosted by the Schweiger family, includes a gourmet cheese and charcuterie platter.
Bremer Family Winery (St. Helena Howell Mountain)
Enjoy a private tour and tasting for two, accompanied by a fruit and cheese pairing in the private dining room in Bremer's expansive wine cave. Built in 1891, this property in the heart of hillside vineyards in the Howell Mountain area of Napa Valley features an original construction stone winery and cellar built into the side of the mountain. Laura and John Bremer founded their winery in early 2000 and are grateful stewards of this exceptional terroir that has long been known for its outstanding Bordeaux varietals. The family is actively involved in each stage of the creative process. They enjoy sharing the fruits of their labor in the warm, inviting atmosphere they have created where they host others who share their passion for exceptional hand-crafted wine. Among the favorite of all their special releases is a spectacular Bordeaux blend they named after their son, Austin. The wine is called Austintatious.
