Your time in the Napa Valley will include a two-night stay for two couples at Relais & Châteaux Auberge du Soleil. Your party will enjoy an in-depth vineyard tour of Continuum Estate along with a tasting highlighting individual blocks and barrel samples – the components that are the backbone of Continuum. You will have access to some of the best lots from Continuum Estate for a blending session with the Continuum winemaking team where you will blend your own Three Liter bottle to add to your collection.

Your party will have dinner at the Mondavi family residence featuring the full vertical of the wines included in this lot. You’ll hear stories of the vintages from the family and the growing seasons to fully understand the wines you’ll be adding to your cellar.

The finale of your Napa visit will be dinner at Michelin-starred PRESS in St. Helena, highlighted by wines from the Mondavi family history. Chef Phillip Tessier, 2024 NWWF Celebrity Chef, uses ingredients from legendary Bay Area purveyors while drawing culinary inspiration from around the globe.

It’s time to fly to Newport Beach for a stay at The Resort at Pelican Hill, part of the Exclusive Resorts portfolio of world-class properties. You’ll spend the week in a luxurious three-bedroom villa with expansive views of the Pacific Ocean.

The dedicated concierge staff will help you take advantage of the Resort’s amenities: relaxing on some of California’s most picturesque beaches, taking a boat cruise in Newport Harbor, surfing, kayaking and paddle boarding. The spa offers everything from skin care to a wellness program. Two Tom Fazio-designed golf courses provide 36 challenging and exciting holes, surrounded by stunning terrain and breathtaking vistas.

The winning bidder will receive an extraordinary vertical collection of Three Liter bottles of Continuum, spanning the vintages from 2009-2019, the first Large Format offering from the family library. In addition, he or she will own a unique art piece by Chiara Mondavi, the artist behind the Continuum wine label.

This lot provides unprecedented exposure to one of Napa Valley’s great wine families, along with a chance to relax at a world-class Pacific resort. Even though it is priceless, it merits your highest possible bid.
