1 HISTORY IN THE MAKING: Chef Mark Dommen in the Kitchen at Ackerman Heritage House Wine and dine Victorianstyle at the gloriously restored Ackerman Heritage House in downtown Napa! Your luxurious evening for 12 begins with formal hors d’oeuvres by Chef Mark Dommen, chef/partner of One Market restaurant in San Francisco and a docentled tour of the historic 1888 Queen Anne Victorian that the Ackerman family has preserved as a living museum of the Victorian era. Take your seat at an antique burled walnut dining table from the 1880s, bedecked with ornate silver candelabra from London, and let Chef Dommen enchant you with four delectable courses of contemporary cuisine, each paired with Lloyd Cellars and Ackerman Family Vineyards wines. To ease the pain of returning to modern life, the winning bidder will take home an etched 3L bottle of Ackerman Family Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, and each couple will receive a goodie bag of handselected sweet treats. Date of dinner to be mutually agreed upon by all parties during the 2017 calendar year. 2. ALL ABOARD! PARTY on the NAPA VALLEY WINE TRAIN for 30 Train enthusiasts ages 1100, this one’s for you! For two blissful hours, ride the rails in your own private 1915 Pullman train car with plenty of food, cake and ice cream prepared by Chef Donald Young. The Napa Valley Wine Train’s antique Silverado Car can accommodate up to 30 guests, so feel free to bring the whole class, team, or extended family. You and the Wine Train can pick any mutually agreeable date for the party (other than the Santa Train period in December) that falls before September 10, 2017, and opt for a day or evening event. This package also includes a twonight stay in a River View King Room at the elegant River Terrace Inn (one room for 2 people), to be used whenever you wish.
