Signature Kitchen Suite will once again offer an all-inclusive trip to Napa Valley, Calif., to the top nine builders who recruited the most new members*. Winners will travel to the LG and Signature Kitchen Suite Experience and Design Center in Napa Valley, where they will experience luxury wine tasting and gourmet cooking demos. Plus, they’ll also get to make connections with other NAHB members from around the country.
