“I enjoy wine and have been a regular traveler to wine growing regions around the world.  I thought I knew the Napa Valley well after traveling there consistently most of my life.  In January my wife and I visited Napa with some friends on an itinerary designed and led by Hayley Cogill that showed me a new way to look at the region.  We started in Carneros where Hayley discussed the alluvial soils and tasted the wines that benefited most from it.  We attended a blending where we could taste Cabernet from all of the 15 appelations of the valley.  After the tasting our group decided that we were especially enjoying the Howell Mountain wines.  The next day we toured Howell Mountain exclusively as expected guests of wineries that Hayley had called the previous day.  We returned with wines for our cellar that we really understood and could explain to our guests when serving them at home.  The accommodations, restaurants, and transportation were all handled by Hayley and perfectly suited our tastes.”

“The joy of traveling to Napa, Sonoma and Willamette was greatly enhanced by traveling with Hayley.  Under her management, the wineries are superb, the logistics are perfect, all while enjoying wonderful and entertaining company.  Hayley is extremely knowledgeable, ensuring that you not only appreciate the wine, you understand it as well.”
