Best known for his appearances on The Food Network's "Iron Chef America"(TM) -- Chef Morimoto has garnered critical and popular acclaim for his seamless integration of Western and Japanese culinary styles to create his own signature cuisine. Since working as head chef at Nobu, Morimoto has opened restaurants around the world -- earning him numerous accolades, including a coveted Michelin star. Guests will also have the unique opportunity to attend a private cooking class and sake tasting with Chef Morimoto at Morimoto Napa, his newest and first West Coast restaurant that opened in July 2010 in downtown Napa's new Riverfront development.

Through Flexjet - which markets the Flexjet 25 Jet Card program - and its relationship with the Napa Valley Vintners, the premier wine trade organization, jet card customers will also receive two four-day passes to the prestigious Auction Napa Valley. Program highlights include the "Taste Napa Valley" event, featuring a marketplace of more than 100 vintners pouring their best releases and the Barrel Tasting & Auction, followed by the popular "Friday Night in Napa Valley" vintner-hosted dinner parties. On Saturday, attendees are invited to the impressive Live Auction to bid on one-of-a-kind lots, including everything from rare bottlings and collections of Napa Valley wine to access to private once-in-a-lifetime events and incredible getaway packages.

Attendees will enjoy accommodations at Meadowood Napa Valley -- the area's first and finest luxury resort, as well as the setting for Auction Napa Valley since its inception -- during their three-night stay. A personal driver and luxury vehicle will also be provided for Flexjet25 Jet Card program guests throughout the weekend.

For each special edition jet card sold, the Flexjet 25 Jet Card program helps Auction Napa Valley raise money for Napa charities. Since the first auction in 1981, this annual fundraiser has given nearly $100 million to healthcare, affordable housing, and youth development non-profit charities.

This year's limited-edition holiday offering marks the third annual expert-inspired Flexjet 25 Jet Card. The 2009 "Gold Edition" jet card program offered customers an unmatched experience at the Winter Games in Vancouver, including an opportunity to meet gold medal winners, tickets to four of the most sought-after events, a three-night stay at the Sutton Place Hotel and an on-site personal concierge.
