"This is more than just a winery, it’s a truly unique, five-star wine-country experience. If you’re lucky enough to secure a tour, you’ll see a side of Calistoga that very few people ever get to experience. It’s incredibly private, personalized, and beautiful. Jonny was our host, and I genuinely can’t imagine anyone better suited for the role - personable, relaxed, knowledgeable, and deeply passionate. We know wine, and theirs is among the very best in the entire Napa/Sonoma region. It’s a truly special place. Fun fact, Sir Peter Michael is an actual British knight, dubbed by the Queen herself. A legendary vineyard run by an equally exceptional group of people."
