. October 23, 2015

YOUNTVILLE, CA (October 22, 2015) - Bardessono Hotel & Spa, the luxurious, LEED Platinum Certified wine country retreat in the heart of Napa Valley, debuts a curated experience that creates an in-the-know quality through personal, hand-selected experiences with the new “Bardesso-Know” program. Aimed toward valued guests eager to have a first-look at latest winery experiences, “Bardesso-Know” presents exclusive insight and access to the most intriguing vineyards, tasting experiences and winery owner chats while continuing to set new standards in service.

With more than 530 wineries in the 30-mile-long Napa Valley, Bardessono has taken the time to uncover the lifestyle stories, the incredible diversity of winemaking and the truly hidden gems, which make up the extraordinary destination. The Bardessono concierge team has select winery and vineyard partners whom will develop special experiences that only guests of Bardessono may enjoy.

“There are so many incredible ways to experience Napa Valley, and we want to share these special, untapped, up-and-coming hotspots with our Bardessono guests,” says Kini Sanborn, director of sales & marketing at Bardessono Hotel & Spa. “The “Bardesso-Know” program gives us a chance to concentrate our efforts on building a more robust, exclusive experience that creates influencers out of our guests. They are able to share the amazing stories and 'break the news' before others visiting the Valley.”

No two “Bardesso-Know” experiences are alike, as the program is continuously incorporating novel, experiences that are undiscovered pearls. The current “Bardesso-Know” program includes access to the newest wineries in the region, Sinegal Estate Winery and Davis Estates.

David Sinegal of Sinegal Estate Winery will soon unveil his new tasting room and terrace, wine caves and VIP lounge this fall in Saint Helena. With award-winning winemaker Tony Biagi leading the way with vastly impressive wines, Sinegal's inaugural wine release just began Sept. 30, 2015. Signum Architecture of St. Helena, whose previous work includes several other notable wineries in the valley, has designed the state-of-the-art facility. The 30-acre property's dynamic layout creates a quintessential, yet idyllic Napa Valley experience. The land includes a 19th century Victorian home, a two-acre lake, olive orchards, hillside vistas, immaculate gardens and a classic poolside cabana.

Guests of Bardessono will receive an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at Napa Valley's newest treasure, prior to the projected winery opening in late 2015. While touring the historic grounds with David Sinegal, guests will taste the Estate Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon from Sinegal's highly-coveted Vintage.

Davis Estates is a new family owned and operated estate near Calistoga, Napa Valley. Intricately involved in the fabric of day-to-day operations and having assembled a team of world-class vineyardists and winemakers, Davis Estates have committed themselves to crafting premiere Napa Valley wines in a cutting-edge winemaking facility.

With a 100-year-old barn that was refurbished by architect Howard Backen, this sustainably built estate is receiving a small, select set of visitors each day. The family is working with Backen to finalize their additional tasting facility that has large open patios overlooking the upper valley and includes a private Founder's Room in the 12,000 sq. ft. caves below in addition to other VIP tasting salons.

Bardessono guests are warmly invited to join their Founders Club or allocation list. The exclusive opportunity to visit the Davis Estates new facilities (open and under construction) is available through “Bardesso-Know”.
