Description

Treat YOURSELF and THREE GUESTS to an experience of a lifetime at OPUS ONE in Napa Valley!


Enjoy a private, hosted in-person tasting experience for four people at our estate that takes you through the salient architecture and rich history of Opus One. 

With a glass of champagne in hand, explore the winery, our encompassing vineyards and our iconic Grand Chai barrel cellar. Your host will guide you through an interactive 90-minute tasting of our current vintage and two (2) library wines from our collector's list. Experience the dedication to uncompromised quality and the passionate spirit of our founders' that continues today and for generations to come.


Opus One is the product of two families who shared a passion for wine and a desire to explore new possibilities. Today, our world expands far beyond the present of each vintage. Just as we look back on experience, we are always looking forward for inspiration.


Opus One Winery
Rising gently from the earth around it, the Opus One winery does not rush to reveal itself. The building sits in harmony with its natural surroundings, offering a soft transition from the vineyard to its lush, green grass exterior. Just as it honors the land, it honors the light.


Where Great Winemaking Begins
Four meticulously hedged vineyard parcels form the Opus One estate. Here, the vineyard team cultivates five traditional Bordeaux grape varieties with experience, passion and dedication. This essential human touch brings forth the characteristics of each vintage through a balance of delicate coaxing and gentle restraint.


Four Estate Vineyards
The estate vineyards of Opus One, comprised of four parcels, sit in the western portion of the famed Oakville AVA. Two parcels, totaling 100 acres, are within the renowned To Kalon Vineyard.  These are complemented by the combined 70 acres of the Ballestra and River parcels, which envelop the winery.  In the vineyards, hand-harvesting and other traditional approaches are taken wherever they work best.  When modern techniques benefit the winegrowing process, they are researched, evaluated and integrated into practice.


One Wine of Absolute Quality
Opus One is the realized dream of two men: Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Chateau Mouton Rothschild in Bordeaux and Napa Valley vintner Robert Mondavi. Together, our founders set out to create a single wine dedicated to the pursuit of uncompromising quality. This singular mission shapes every vintage, today and for generations to come.
