Opus One Winery Oakville, Napa

Opus One Winery provides a luxurious, albeit slightly formal, wine experience. The estate is breathtaking, especially as you drive down the center drive to the winery entrance. From the upstairs terrace, you can see the vineyards of Opus One and get a sense of the beauty of Napa Valley. This is a winery where you can lose yourself in a wonderful glass while surrounded by sophistication. It doesn't get any more luxurious than this, so make sure to take plenty of photos while you're there.

The Winery tours are by appointment only, and reservations must be made at least a month in advance. Sandy, Nancy, Vicki, Hank, and Japanese-speaking Kaede are their best and most knowledgeable tour docents. Opus One only makes one wine, a Bordeaux-style Cabernet Sauvignon blend, so expect to taste just one lovely red wine in a slightly pretentious and pricey setting. Opus One is well worth a visit. Ours are available for tasting from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
