7-DAY TRIP FOR 2 COUPLES TO SOUTH KOREA
TRIP FOR 2 COUPLES TO JEJU ISLAND
DINNER FOR 2 COUPLES IN NAPA VALLEY
Been soul-searching for your next global adventure? Let your search end where this trip begins—on a first-class trip for you and one other couple on Singapore Airlines to Seoul, South Korea. As guests of Hi Sang Lee and Jae Chun, the proprietors of Napa Valley’s Dana Estates, you’ll find your every need met by their impeccable sense of hospitality.
Once you land, your chauffeur will take you to the luxurious Shilla Hotel Seoul where you’ll stay in the resort’s premiere suite. Then, let the discovery begin. Whether you’re an art collector, historian, golfer or aspiring chef, you’ll enjoy rare access to South Korea’s greatest treasures. Take a VIP tour of Korea’s most expansive private ceramics collection at the Leeum Museum with owner Madame Hong, visit Korea’s famous tea fields, and enjoy a private culinary class at the renowned Tsuji+1 Private Culinary Academy.
Midway through the trip, you’ll jet first class on Korean Air to the beautiful Korean island of Jeju, which is designated as a World Natural Heritage Site, a global geopark and a biosphere reserve. During your stay there you’ll have the opportunity to visit the island’s many natural wonders or play a round of golf at the famed Nine Bridges golf course.
When you return to Seoul, you’ll experience the ultimate expression of Korean hospitality with a meal at the Lee family home cooked by Mrs. Lee. Regarded as one of Korea’s best chefs, Mrs. Lee will share dishes that have been handed down in her family for generations, matched with wines from the Lee family’s personal collection.
Your privileged experience will not end with your lavish trip to Seoul. On your way home, stop in Napa Valley where the hospitality continues as you enjoy dinner with proprietors Hi Sang Lee and Jae Chun, alongside Dana Estates winemakers Philippe Melka and Cameron Vawter. Corey Lee, the James Beard Award-winning chef and owner of San Francisco’s Benu, will prepare an extraordinary meal for you with wine pairings by Master Sommelier Yoon Ha.
Last, but certainly not least, return home with a collector-caliber set of three-liters from Dana Estates’ 2009 vintage, featuring one bottle from each of its three vineyard sites. This rare collection of wines will also include three bottles of 2011 Dana Estates Sauvignon Blanc from its famed Hershey Vineyard, making you one of the first to own this winery’s first-ever white wine.
Visit to be scheduled for mutually agreeable dates prior to June 2015.
