Domain Chandon - Enchanting Napa while pleasing the palate!

Domain Chandon was definitely captivating!  The scenery was like a walk into a dream with a beautiful secret garden.   

The views were really breathtaking!  If it was not 100 + in heat index that day we would have definitely been able to enjoy it even more.

This was by far one of the best wine tours we have ever been on and probably one of the most beautiful wineries we have seen so far.

Our tour came with a thorough explanation of the whole place, the history, their daily routines, and their interaction with the other wineries as well.

The cocktail wine tour was a pretty good deal.  We got all three cocktails plus a education tour for $40, cheaper than just buying the three drinks at the bar in the winery and the tour guide offered us extras to drink!  Can't beat that!

Our first drink was the summer crush.  The basil and lime was a delicious combination.  Very crisp and light, excellent for the hot Napa weather that day.  The best part, other than sipping the champagne was getting the chance to make it yourself.  They teach you how to make the flavored syrup at home and you get to put as much of it as you want.

The second drink was the rising star.  This was our favorite.  Sweet and tart but light enough to drink several glasses.  The sweet cherries and the pomegranate flavor really shines and blends extremely well with the Chandon Brut Classic.

The third drink was the Hibiscus Romance.  This was our least favorite but definitely the prettiest.  The combination was not great, the hibiscus flavor was kind of covered up by the sugar syrup.

Fantastic afternoon spent at the winery.  This is one tour we would go back for.  The tour guide was witty and the drinks were yummy!  By far one of the most memorable and tasty wine tours we have experienced here in Napa.
