The Global Gourmet

Napa Valley, California

Mr & Mrs Smith and Dean & DeLuca are celebrating the launch of The Global Gourmet series – an online gastronomic tour of the world – by offering one lucky couple a truly gourmet getaway. Here’s what you could win if your chosen as their lucky winner!

Stay at a luxurious B&B: Set beside the scenic Silverado Trail, on the banks of the Napa River, Milliken Creek Inn & Spa is a beautiful country home, with the added luxuries of an indulgent organic spa, huge hydrotherapy tubs and daily visiting vintners eager to share their wares. You’ll have three nights of unparalleled comfort in one of the hotel’s luxurious rooms, enhanced by a soul-soothing treatment each.

Yes, this is the good life DINING: You’ll be invited to an exclusive meal for two at the award-winning PRESS restaurant in St Helena. Here, you’ll enjoy the finest hand-cut beef (dry-aged and grass-fed), fresh seafood and seasonal specialties, accompanied by sommelier-selected wines and pre-dinner cocktails at the bar.

Unbelievable Wines: Sweepstakes winners will be invited to enjoy the very best of Dean & DeLuca’s Napa Valley wine selection at the newly opened Dean & DeLuca St Helena Wine Centre, with a seminar and tasting session led by Vice President of Wine Kenny Koda. You’ll also be taken on an exclusive private tour of the Rudd Oakville Estate winery and get a peek inside the Rudd Caves where wines are aged until they’re ready for bottling. After the tour, you and your partner will be able to sample all the Estate’s wines in a seated private tasting.

A Romantic Picnic: After your winery tour, you’ll be treated to a full Dean & DeLuca picnic in the Rudd Estate’s Olive Grove, where you’ll tuck into the complete Global Gourmet Napa Valley picnic basket of fine Californian cheeses, refined charcuterie platters and a selection of valley-grown olives, complemented by the freshet seasonal produce from local growers.
