The Perfect Day in Yountville


5am
Wake up at the crack of dawn for a hot air balloon ride over the vineyards. Follow your adventure with a champagne brunch.

9am
Go back to sleep for a couple of hours.

11am
Enjoy a wine and food pairing at Girard Tasting Room.

12pm
Have a panini and wine at Michael Chiarello's NapaStyle Paninoteca.

1pm
Taste wine and tour the winery at Keever Vineyards.

2:30pm
Head to Domaine Chandon for oysters and champagne.

4pm
Get a massage treatment at the Villagio Inn and Spa--if you can spring for it, get a suite treatment.

7pm
If you don't want to spend your children's entire college fund, dine at Hurley's. If it is a Monday or Wednesday, call to check if Ad Hoc is serving their fried chicken dinner. Or if you are celebrating a 25th anniversary, why not dine at French Laundry?
