NAPA, Calif., July 7, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Domaine Carneros has long delighted guests with inventive food and wine experiences that reflect the winery\u2019s commitment to culinary craft and local ingredient sourcing. The newest addition to that tradition is the Sparkling Elixir Sampler<\/em>, a daily tasting flight that pairs four all-natural, handcrafted botanical elixirs from Land & Local<\/a> of Sonoma County for either a non-alcoholic option with San Pellegrino sparkling water, or with the acclaimed Ultra Brut<\/a> sparkling wine. This new offering makes for a fully inclusive experience for every guest at the table.<\/p>\n

Served tableside, the flight is priced at $35 with San Pellegrino or $50 with the Ultra Brut. The four elixirs, each crafted from locally sourced seasonal botanicals, are:<\/p>\n

Blood Orange Fennel<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Rose Cardamom Meyer Lemon<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Hibiscus Tulsi Ginger<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Elderflower Mint<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Sparkling Elixir Sampler<\/em> is available as a standalone daily tasting option and can also be selected as a non-alcoholic alternative within any of the winery\u2019s elevated experiences: Bubbles & Bites, Plat des Perles, Ultimate Carneros, and Ultimate Caviar.<\/p>\n

A DEEPENING TRADITION OF ARTISAN COLLABORATION<\/strong><\/p>\n

The partnership with Land & Local joins a roster of celebrated local makers whose work has shaped the Domaine Carneros guest experiences over the years, among them Pete Seghesio of Journeyman Meats, Terri and Brook Penquette of Nova Terra Creamery, Anette Madsen Yazidi of Anette\u2019s Chocolates, and Ali and Marai Bolourchi of Tsar Nicoulai Caviar.<\/p>\n

Land & Local founder Kim LaVere brings eight years of botanical craft to the collaboration, grounding her formulas in Ayurvedic medicine, Western herbalism, and culinary training. About 85% of the herbs and fruits she uses are sourced within 50 miles of her Sonoma County production kitchen. Her mission is to reconnect beverages to their healing roots while centering the story of place. “Our partnership is about two high-quality products that complement each other and help tell a story of place together, from different perspectives,” she says. “And our products are inclusive: they work beautifully for people who are imbibing and for people who aren\u2019t.”<\/p>\n

WELCOMING EVERY GUEST AT THE TABLE<\/strong><\/p>\n

The non-alcoholic option reflects both the winery\u2019s hospitality values and a meaningful consumer shift. According to a Wine Business Monthly article in July 2024, wellness tourism which includes \u201cdry\u201d tourism as well as alcohol drinkers who opt out occasionally, has seen a measurable increase, with nonalcoholic offerings expanding a brand\u2019s reach and ensuring no one sits on the sidelines.<\/p>\n

The Ultra Brut, a highly awarded offering in the Domaine Carneros portfolio, was chosen with thoughtful consideration as the sparkling wine part of the experience. Director of Marketing, Phoebe Ullberg stated, \u201cOur driest sparkling wine, Ultra Brut, becomes even more nuanced and complex when accented with chef Kim LaVere\u2019s local, all natural mixers – Blood Orange Fennel, Rose Cardamom Meyer Lemon, Hibiscus Tulsi Ginger and Elderflower Mint.\u201d<\/p>\n

AN EVER-EVOLVING GUEST EXPERIENCE<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Sparkling Elixir Sampler<\/em> takes its place alongside a portfolio of distinctive offerings that reflect the winery\u2019s sustained investment in the gustatory pleasures of its guests. Bubbles & Bites\u2019 seasonally rotating global menus<\/a>, the recently launched Scent & Savor: A Wine Tour of Aromas and Taste Transformations<\/em><\/a>, The Art of Sabrage, Plat des Perles, Ultimate Carneros, and Ultimate Caviar together define a visitor experience as thoughtfully curated as the wines themselves.<\/p>\n
