The prize includes roundtrip airfare, luxury accommodations, a visit to the JaM Cellars Wine & Music Studio, a charcuterie building class, and a private chef-led four-course dinner pairing Club Crackers with Butter wines, along with limited-edition merchandise. The co-branded Club Crackers x Butter Wines Napa Valley getaway sweepstakes runs from July 1 through November 20, 2026, with entry via receipt upload or a no-purchase-necessary alternative.
