Experience the Great Wine Capitals Tour

Viviani, Inc. and the Napa Valley are proud members of the Great Wine Capitals network, including 8 other regions throughout the world. These regions are: Mainz, Germany; Bilbao/Rioja, Spain; Bordeaux, France; Cape Town, South Africa; Firenze, Italy; Mendoza, Argentina; Porto, Portugal.

Preparing for her trip to Bordeaux a few months ago, Linda Viviani had the inspiration to include all 9 cities of the Great Wine Capitals in an 'around the world' tour. Each trip would individually be fantastic and luxurious, in order to see all the best that each place can offer. All of this would of course be melded with the education of each regions' wines and history.

For those who are interested in this, please know that you do not have to enjoy all regions at once. One may choose to only see Napa and Bordeaux one year, and see two more the next year. But, for those who are interested in seeing them in sequence, we recommend that as well.

Any questions, please email us.
