The Meritage Bar features regional wine selections and signature cocktails in a setting of rich, polished wood and romantic lighting.

Over the past two decades, Jessup Cellars has earned a loyal following for its handcrafted wines of distinction and a word-of-mouth reputation for hosting one of the friendliest tasting experiences in all of wine country.

Napa Valley Wine Train
Enjoy a leisurely 3-hour journey for two along the 36-mile round-trip between the historic town of Napa, through one of the world’s most famous wine valleys, to the quaint village of St. Helena. Travel through the lush Napa Valley countryside and be transported back in time. Back to the romance and luxury of the golden age of train travel of the early 1900s, when guests explored the trains beyond their private quarters. Back to a time when a journey was meant to be savored from start to finish. Enjoy a fresh chef-prepared multicourse gourmet lunch aboard a stylishly refurbished antique Pullman rail car. In the spirit of traditional rail seating, you may share the experience—and a table—with another party.
NOTE: Napa is approximately 1.5 hours north of San Francisco and Oakland.
Hot Air Balloon Sunrise Ride (Napa)
