I’m ready to head for California after reading this in the Los Angeles Times (and thanks to fellow wine writer Ken Alawine Waggoner for pointing it out), “California: Meet women who run Napa Valley vineyards at their estates”.

The pricetag is a little daunting, $3,400 per person and that doesn’t include travel. Makes me think Switzerland could offer some similar packages, if the wine producers can get organized.
