Any wine lover who is lucky enough to travel will often consciously work to squeeze in some wine time, traveling to local vineyards and shops on the way. But what if you don't have to leave home or at least not go too far from home to enjoy a trip to Napa Valley? That sounds like a great idea, and it was thought up by the wine folks at Beringer.

Here's the scoop from Yahoo.com: Saturday, October 7, 2006 in a new Airstream Safari Special Edition trailer, Beringer's "How to Get to Napa Valley" six-week road trip aims to close the gap between wine country leisure and city chaos in New York, Chicago, Austin, Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area. The iconic 25-foot Airstream, complete with a Napa makeover courtesy of the stylists at domino Magazine, serves as home base for the outdoor, interactive "urban picnic" parties complete with savory snacks and al fresco wine tastings, just as harvest is unfolding in Napa Valley.

"Enjoying the wine country way of life is easier than most people think," said David Frakes, Executive Chef at Beringer Vineyards. "I'm looking forward to sharing some of my kitchen secrets on how to create a simple but memorable wine country inspired experience. A few favorite ingredients, a delicious recipe and a great bottle of Napa Valley wine can go a long way."

Beringer will host a series of "Napa Valley in 30 Minutes or Less" mini- events at each picnic. Several times each day, Chef Frakes will create easily- replicated, quick dishes to convey that a paper plate, a glass of chardonnay and farm fresh ingredients are all you need to create that leisurely wine country experience. Picnic guests will also have the opportunity to learn about wine with a fun, interactive sensory experience.
