<p>Three days, four cabernets, one winemaker, and an overall unforgettable experience. Established in 1995, Lokoya is a collection of Cabernet Sauvignon from four of Napa Valley’s most celebrated mountain appellations.

With profound tannin structure and concentration of flavor, Lokoya wines are meant to lay down and mature for 30 years or more. Tasting one of these rare wines is a sensory experience unlike any other. Join us for a weekend of exclusive wine events and savor each moment with a glass of wine enriched by years of evolution.</p>

<div class="typography__Base-nu1k9y-0 typography__SectionTitle-nu1k9y-4 eUzXfo">MEET CHRISTOPHER CARPENTER</div>
<div class="StyledMarkdownContent-sc-1amyisp-0 gTaXWd">
<p>During a visit to Napa Valley in 1993, Christopher discovered a lifestyle that could challenge him both intellectually and creatively, while combining his love of science with his growing passion for culinary and wine pursuits. Soon after, he started studying at UC Davis, where he earned a master’s degree in both viticulture and enology. He studied further in Italy at the Tenute Antinori, Santa Cristina Estate, now known as Tignanello. There, he worked in the cellar and vineyard and was also hands-on in the lab. Christopher credits his time in Italy with teaching him how wine, food and culture are all intertwined.</p>
<p>In 1998, Christopher ultimately found himself back in Napa Valley at the Cardinale Estate. He is now winemaker for many of Napa Valley’s most prestigious wineries, including Cardinale, Lokoya, La Jota Vineyard Co., Mt. Brave, Caladan, as well as, Hickinbotham that is located in South Australia’s McLaren Vale. Over the past two decades, Christopher has earned a reputation for taming Napa Valley’s mountain tannins and creating legendary Cabernet Sauvignon. He works closely with the vineyard team to nurture and then manifest the unique character of each vineyard block in elegant wines with great depth, mountain character and historic pedigree. He believes in maximum attention in the vineyards and minimal intervention in the winery to create the purest expression of place.</p>

<p>Experience wild birds in proximity during this bird banding demonstration. To conserve migratory birds, we need to understand the health of both populations and individual birds. Our guest speakers from the Audubon Society, do this by carefully attaching a light metal leg band for research and monitoring purposes. Each year they band, determine age and gender, and assess the health of birds at four distinct locations in Wyoming.</p>
<p>Guests will get to observe the banding process, ask questions of the scientists, and even assist in the operation by recording live data taken from the bands. After researchers have completed this process, guests will get to hold and release some of North America’s greatest gems, its migratory birds.</p>
<p>With the help of experts, we&#8217;ll have a chance to observe between 20-30 species of wild birds at the Ranch:</p>

<p><strong>MEET MAYA DALLA VALLE</strong><br />
A second-generation winemaker and Dalla Valle Vineyard’s wine director, Maya&#8217;s great talent, impressive educational pedigree, and unique trails and ideas are heralding a new era for the iconic brand. Her passion for wine is ingrained in her DNA. In 1986, her parents, Naoko and Gustav, made their first vintage of estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon. The following year—the year she was born—they planted Maya’s Vineyard, a 5-acre block of Cabernet Sauvignon that has become one of the most revered winegrowing sites in America. In 1992, this remarkable vineyard yielded a wine that would go on to earn Dalla Valle’s first perfect 100-point score from legendary critic Robert Parker.</p>
<p>Growing up at Dalla Valle, Maya had the opportunity to spend time with and learn from celebrated winemakers like Heidi Barrett, Tony Soter, and Mia Klein. Before joining the family business, Maya was committed to earning her place with a master’s degree in viticulture and enology from Cornell University and a Master of Business and Science degree in vineyard and winery management from France’s prestigious Bordeaux Science Agro. Training with the best, Maya also gained invaluable hands-on winemaking experience at Ornellaia e Masseto, Bodegas Rolland, Pétrus, and Château Latour. Once she cultivated her skills to the caliber of Dalla Valle, Maya returned and joined the winery as director in 2017 – making the estate a true multigenerational winery. In January 2021, Maya was named the estate’s winemaker.</p>
<p>“Dalla Valle is my home. It is also my family’s legacy,” says Maya. “I am so excited to be working alongside my mom. Dalla Valle is her life’s work, and what she has created is remarkable. I also know that the greatest wineries are judged in terms of decades and generations, and that our story is still being written. I am honored to be carrying our family’s legacy into a second generation.”</p>

A Taste of Krug

<p>Journey through the Saint-Émilion Bordeaux wine region of France with our guests from Château Angelus. Considered one of the top estates in Bordeaux, the Angélus style results from the combination of bold decisions on vine varieties and an outstanding terroir. It is this unique character born of the south-facing Saint-Émilion slopes with its large proportion of Cabernet Franc that we are so pleased to meet over and over again as the vintages pass by. It is also a composition re-crafted every year in a continuous quest for excellence.</p>
<p>ITINERARY<br />
<em>*Subject to change</em></p>
<p><strong>Thursday, November 23</strong> – <strong>Wine Welcome Reception</strong><br />
3:30PM at Lodge &amp; Spa<br />
Toast to a day of holiday celebrations with a glass of Château Angelus. Learn about the eight generations of the family-owned and operated wine estate, currently helmed by Stéphanie de Boüard-Rivoal, the third woman to run Angelus in over 250 years.<br />
<em>Open and inclusive for all lodging guests.</em></p>
<p><strong>Friday, November 24</strong> – <strong>Llama Snowshoe &amp; Wine Tasting</strong><br />
12:45PM at Lodge &amp; Spa<br />
During a new and unique outdoor adventure at the Ranch, experience bold wine from a terroir just as unique. Connect with pristine, untouched nature as you&#8217;re guided on a hike and/or snowshoe to a stunning mountain destination. Taste the unique Château Angelus characteristics: lush, dense, and creamy because of the early onset of growth thanks to its south-facing slope of Saint Emilion; but also elegant, classy, and pure with lots of freshness thanks to the large proportion of Cabernet Franc (46% of the vines).<br />
<em>$300 Per Person, Plus Tax &amp; Gratuity. Open Reservations.</em></p>
<p><strong>Saturday, November 25 – 5-Course Wine Pairing Dinner</strong><br />
6:00PM at The Farm<br />
Join us for a special wine-pairing dinner with a focus on the Château Angelus signature Cabernet Franc. The wines are slow to open up, but they are amongst the most intriguing and the most refined. The tannins are dense, but silky and bring the necessary fresh notes to achieve overall balance. Cabernet Franc enhances the aging of the greatest wines.<br />
