Red is positively dazzled by this incredible lot: the brilliance of the diamonds, the bright neon lights of Las Vegas and the purity of one of Napa’s greatest wine estates. The magic will burn itself into your memory for years to come.

Two couples will begin their journey at Dalla Valle Vineyards, one of the world’s iconic producers of Cabernet Sauvignon. Founded in 1986 by Naoko and her late husband Gustav Dalla Valle, their vineyards on Oakville’s steep eastern hillsides have yielded wines of extraordinary character and complexity. Today, Dalla Valle is guided by Naoko and her daughter Maya, alongside Consulting Winemaker Andy Erickson, Vineyard Manager Edgar Alfaro and Consulting Enologist Michel Rolland, with a shared mission that the estate thrives for generations to come.

Dalla Valle produces three wines each year: Collina Dalla Valle, translating from Italian to “Hill of the Valley,” is the introductory wine into the brand; Dalla Valle Cabernet Sauvignon, always blended with a small fraction of Cabernet Franc; and Maya, named after founders Naoko and Gustav’s daughter, a special blend of Maya’s Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon and the best selected blocks of Cabernet Franc. MDV is a mailing list only wine that is produced only in exceptional years. It is a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Maya’s Vineyard, the base of Maya.

Your group will enjoy a rare private tasting led by Naoko and Maya, as well as an exclusive wine-paired dinner in Naoko’s home. The meal will be prepared by the famed Chef Philip Tessier of St. Helena’s Michelin-starred PRESS restaurant, the first American chef to ever receive a medal at the internationally renowned Bocuse d’Or. Finally, your group will indulge in an unforgettable evening of world-class cuisine and legendary service at Three Michelin-starred The French Laundry.

From the serenity of Napa Valley, you’ll travel by private plane to the vibrant heart of Las Vegas. Your party will check into Fleur de Lis Suites at the Fontainebleau Hotel. With butler service, custom Italian linens, bespoke furnishings and nightly turndown, every detail is designed for an exceptional stay. After a delicious dinner planned based on your interests, your party will have a nightcap and survey the glittering skyline from the 67th-floor, members-only Poodle Room. The following day, you’ll experience an immersion into the world of Graff Jewelry.

Since its founding in 1960 by Laurence Graff OBE, the House of Graff has represented the rarest gemstones, with generations of the Graff family selecting every stone and overseeing each step of the process. Their masterpieces—necklaces, rings, earrings, brooches and bracelets—exhibit otherworldly beauty. During your private showing at the new Graff Salon, each couple will enjoy a $20,000 credit toward the piece of their dreams. Afterward, rejuvenate at Lapis Spa, where ancient rituals meet modern wellness.

You haven’t seen the Grand Canyon until you’ve surveyed it from the air, and a luxury helicopter will whisk you away for a breathtaking view, with a catered Champagne lunch in a secluded canyon location. You’ll return to Las Vegas for dinner at ITO restaurant with Graff CEO and President Marc Hruschka, followed by your choice of entertainment, with options such as Cirque du Soleil, a legendary visual and acrobatic spectacle, or Absinthe, a clever mix of acrobatics, cabaret and adult humor. Depart Las Vegas the next day with black car service to the airport.

The winning bidders will receive a priceless collection of wine: three vintages of Dalla Valle Maya 2018, 2019 and 2021, in Magnum format; two vintages of MDV 2016 and 2018 (not available at retail), also in Magnums; and six bottles of Delaire Graff Estate’s 2020 Laurence Graff Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced directly from South Africa’s famed Cape Winelands.

Red can only envy you as you enjoy this refined and unforgettable journey; even as you do so, you’ll be providing essential services for children who need them the most.
