纳帕谷的度假屋

We'll start with a tour of the sanctuary where you'll meet a variety of rescued farm animals. We'll share their stories of resilience and healing and talk a bit more about the industries they come from. You'll love meeting our animal ambassadors and may be surprised at what you learn, since we so rarely see the animals in our food system. Join us afterwards at our picnic tables in the field for a glass of artisan tea or local wine and a vegan cheese and charcuterie platter. (Note: Many vegan cheeses are made with nuts. Please inform us of any allergies when booking so we can be sure to provide suitable options.) The Experience will last approximately 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Please be mindful that as a sanctuary for rescued animals, our priority is the physical and emotional well being of the rescued animals who call Charlie's Acres home. Our loved animal residents are completely free and always have a choice as to whether or not they want to interact with visitors and will reside at the sanctuary for the rest of their lives, where we'll have the honor of taking care of them.

Do you think you can’t draw, or are frustrated and think this has to be easier? You’ve come to the right place. All you need is a sense of humor, some paper, pencils, and erasers. At the end of our two hour class, I look forward to hearing you say “I CAN draw and this is FUN!” I’m Gene Hamm and in my How to Draw Caricatures class, we will make drawing simple as we utilize tips and tricks, I acquired from years of experience working in Hollywood animation studios. These are tips and tricks they don’t teach you in art school. I have experienced teaching a wide range of ages and abilities, from an 8 year old in China to an 80 year old in England. And for example, in 2018 a class of my special needs adults won a film festival in New York with their collection of animated shorts. This How to Caricature class starts with me drawing a caricature of you. Then you draw along with me, as we move on to drawing a cartoon character from every angle utilizing simple yet professional tips and tricks. My schedule makes the class available for any time zone in the world.
 At no extra charge I customize each class to accommodate one on one private lessons, birthday parties, corporate team building or any occasion. This also makes a much appreciated gift for the aspiring or experienced artist in your life. I encourage you to look over my many five star reviews and comments on Airbnb.

Learn the art and science of winemaking. We’ll start with a stroll through an idyllic vineyard for a firsthand look at the vines. As we walk the rows, I’ll share why this area is the perfect place to grow Burgundy grapes, including pinot noir and chardonnay. Then, we’ll blend wines that have been aged in separate barrels to make a classic red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec Petit Verdot and/or Cabernet Franc. Each person will leave with a bottle of your creation! Other things to note Tom Meadowcroft, Michael, or Elaine, will be your host. Bring comfortable shoes, a hat, sunscreen, and a camera. The Tour starts at 10am sharp!

We will welcome you in one of our vintage VW Buses! Explore three of the best wineries in Napa Valley.

We'll enjoy a picnic lunch at our second spot. *Guests pay for wine tasting at each location, anticipate $35-45 per person per winery. Each guest will pay for wine tasting at the winery destinations.
