"The Celestial Tour & Tasting ($125; reservations required) includes a 30-minute walk through more than 34,000 square feet of newly completed Napa wine caves (designed by Javier Barba), featuring a Foucault pendulum in the cave’s Round Room, followed by a seated tasting of estate-grown wines paired with appetizers from chef Travis Westrope—such as oysters stuffed with pineapple, cucumber and apple and a corn fritter with ricotta and blackberry—offering a cool, majestic subterranean setting where wine ages." - Regine T. Rosseau
