An afternoon wine tasting in the Napa valley on a sunny afternoon Friday sounds pretty sweet. Throw in one of the most amazing contemporary art collections I have ever seen and you’ve got yourself the ultimate Friday afternoon.
Thanks to IfOnly, this was my Friday experience with my friend Blake a couple of weeks ago at HALL Wines.
Now, what exactly is IfOnly? IfOnly is a marketplace for incredible experiences (trust me). From unique everyday offerings with local experts to once-in-a-lifetime connections with your favorite celebrities. IfOnly provides access to a curated selection of extraordinary experiences that benefit worthy causes around the world.
Now, let’s talk about the once in a lifetime experience at HALL Wines.
With over 35 pieces of contemporary art, the 150-year-old site at HALL Wines has something for everyone. Wine, art, history, architecture, technology and an AMAZING lawn for relaxing + unwinding.
This sign accompanied John Baldessari’s sculpture Camel (Albino) Contemplating Needle (above) setting the tone for the experience and the personality of the team at HALL.
Francois-Xavier Lalanne’s, Mouton Transhumant, 1988.
I followed the rules on the signs…but we were still on our first tasting at that point.
A quick bathroom break in what is safe to say the reddest bathroom in the Napa Valley.
The outdoor areas are dog-friendly at HALL, ask Pepper my friend for the day (just don’t tell Benji).
The ‘Ultimate Cabernet Experience’ at HALL is an exclusive experience and included in the IfOnly experience. It is perfect for the serious wine collector and Cabernet Sauvignon lover. Set in the Founder’s Cellar, the tasting includes a generous flight of their most highly rated and allocated HALL Cabernets. This experience is $125 per person alone – making the IfOnly experience well worth it.
There is art everywhere at HALL, even on their wine labels.

And after all the wine it was time for the mandatory vineyard photo shoot…
Jealous of my experience?
In my opinion, experiences are more valuable than gifts. Look to IfOnly for extraordinary experiences: meet celebrities, exclusive access to events, artistry lessons, private tours, and more!
