Winehiker Witiculture


A two-fer from Mario Andretti

It’s no secret that, in an effort to capitalize on foot traffic, many of Napa Valley’s chi-chi wineries are charging $25 or more for their no-frills tastings. Isn’t it nice to know, then, that one popular Napa Valley tasting room is bucking that trend to offer a 2-for-1 tasting coupon? That’s right: you and a friend can enjoy tasting wine in a nicely-appointed Tuscan-style villa in the heart of Napa Valley when you print this coupon and present it to the tasting room staff at Andretti Winery.

Andretti Winery is a namesake of the legendary Mario Andretti, who achieved fame in the 60’s as a champion race car driver. Mr. Andretti is currently the vice chairman of the winery, which produces five wines from the Napa Valley, three of which are very limited production estate and reserve classified wines under the Montona label. These limited wines are available only through the winery’s tasting room, and are not found in general distribution.

Andretti Winery is located at 4162 Big Ranch Road, on the northern outskirts of the town of Napa. So print that coupon, grab your best guy or gal, and enjoy your tasting!

    I want so much to go on a wine tour. I need to plan to do that. What time of year is best?
