2016 Art Ball Auction Item #2: Napa Valley Wine Country Getaway

Apr 18, 2016 9:30 AM by Jeanne Prejean

Leave it to the Dallas Museum of Art‘s art-lovers to know just the right spot to enjoy art paired with fabulous wines and incredible scenery. And that’s exactly what this 2016 Art Ball live auction package offers complete with Dallas’ own Tracy and Kent Rathbun escorting around the wineries and tables of Napa Valley.

Napa Valley is a delicious nirvana for foodies and wine connoisseurs. Perhaps that why Dallas’ fav restaurant couple Tracy and Kent Rathbun envision one day setting up a bed and breakfast there specializing in fine wine-and-dine experiences. How smart this package is to have the Rathbuns serve as “taste tour guides” for six guests to experience Napa Valley.

After arriving via private jet, the group will check in at for a four-day, three-night stay at Hotel Senza. But there will be little time to hold up in the hotel.

First there will be Dallas power couple Kathryn and Craig Hall’s Hall St. Helena in St. Helena, where wine tastings and modern art are divine among the Napa hills and Hall’s lush gardens. Check out the artwork by John Baldessari, Jaume Plensa and Jim Campbell. Next stop will be Walt Wines in Sonoma that was the brainchild of Kathryn, whose parents — the late Dolores and Bob Walt — were dedicated winegrowers. The focus here is the production of the area’s premier Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. To prove that point there will be a Root 101 Single Vineyard Pinot Noir tasting showcasing “distinct vineyard voices that demonstrate defined character and personality, from land to table.” This education will include five single vineyard wines coursed from appellations in the Walt collection. To fulfill the experience, The Girl & the Fig will provide a “selection of seasonal, pinot-centric small bites” for each pairing.

But the piece de resistance will take place back at Hall St. Helena’s Hall Rutherford for “a platinum tasting experience” with the wines paired with “small bites” from Napa chefs.
