When I tell people I went to Opus One, the first thing they ask is, "where they all like snobby and pretentious?" The answer is no—quite the opposite. In fact this might be the most enjoyable visit to any winery, anywhere. And Ive been to wineries all over the world. I think what people forget is this winery is a combination of the best of two cultures—French and American. Over thirty years after its creation, Opus One still exhibits the vision of the two founders. Everything about Opus One winery is about crafting the highest possible quality wine from the meticulous vineyard management to the high tech lab to the entire winemaking facility. Whatever your opinion is of the winery, you cant deny Opus Ones place in the world of fine wines. People who leave negative reviews might be forgetting this winery experience is meant to be different than many other winery experiences. It is what it is, and I absolutely loved visiting Opus One!

I have to say that while in the recent past, I havent been too fond of Opus Ones price/quality balance, things are definitely changing in the world of Opus One. A friend of mine invited me over to taste several vintages, and the current vintage 2005 was really great. I was just amazed at how balanced this wine is. The price is definitely something that will turn away many visitors, but that is what you should expect when dealing with a high end wine. I heard that the new 2006 vintage will be available soon, and has garnered some pretty rave reviews among wine critics. I highly recommend coming here for a guided tour and tasting if possible, just call a month or two in advance! Well worth a stop if high end Cabernets are your thing.

First off, amazing wine! Best Bordeaux-style wine I had in Napa, hands down. On the flip side, Opus One is not cheap and theyre certainly not giving it away at their winery. I found the front desk staff to be very friendly and accommodating (we got in at the end of the day without a reservation, which is probably not a good plan), but the staff that poured our glasses were a bunch of 20-something snobs who seemed to think they were somehow essential to the production of this epic wine. So, do you want to taste a truly amazing wine served in a beautiful estate while youre in Napa? If so, visit Opus One. But go for the wine, not the friendly atmosphere.

Vinhos exclusivos da união do grande produtor Robert Mondavi e do barão Philippe de Rothschild unindo a tradição dos vinhos californianos e franceses inclusive na arquitetura do local também Somente vinhos e safras exclusivas, reservas são necessárias para degustação.

I went here with a group of seven on a Thursday. Im not a much of a wino, so I didnt get a lot of pleasure from the wine itself, but I had a great overall experience here. The place feels unforgivingly ostentatious and pretentious, but the people who worked there were cordial, smooth, and relaxed. The view from the top is great. It was uncrowded on the Thursday we visited so we just hung out upstairs for awhile. It was my friends bachelor party and happened to be his birthday, so they gave a us a bonus tour of the racking rooms. Very high tech and interesting.

ワイナリーツアーに含まれていたので有料試飲（必須）で訪問、一生に一度行けばいいかなと他の人が言うとおり。景色も味も最高ですが値段も最高です、行った時は非常に空いていて静かな中中庭で試飲が楽しめて雰囲気は抜群でした。昔と比べてめちゃくちゃ値上がりしているようです

First things first. The Opus One wine is spectacular. The winery was beautiful. I did a last minute reservation to visit the winery the day before. I was fortunate enough to get that reservation because I hear reservations have to be done weeks in advance. It was quite a drive to get their from Santa Rosa but it was worth the trip. I didnt get the chance to take the tour or hang around long because I had to catch my flight, but was able to purchase a few bottles and was rewarded with some free tasting for my troubles.

Visited when they opened their new tasting area, summer 2015 Friendly staff Walk in tastings allowed They have tastings of only one really nice vintage - $45 for a 4oz pour - it is really good They also have baskets of water crackers in the tasting room. Ambiance: - Terrace has very nice view of the mountains and vineyard - You park right next to the vineyard - The building is a round, monolithic fortress-like structure from the outside.

広大な敷地で優雅にワインをテイスティング。テラスではぶどう畑を眺めながらワインを楽しめます。ワインは詳しくないですが、Opus One は結構良いワインらしいです。そのせいか、テイスティングも少々お高めですが、訪れる価値は大いにあると思います。

We came here because of the prestigious name and the amazing building. We thought the property and building were really impressive. We sampled a glass of their wine up on the terrace which was really nice. It is a shame that they didnt have any other tasting options besides the steep price for a glass, so we ended up sharing it. I would give it 3.5 stars if I could

Just got back from trip to Napa. First taste and tour was Opus One, dont miss this one!! At first quite intimidating but after meeting our tour guide (Morgan) and doing the tour I was very impressed and a lot more knowledgeable when finished. Dont miss this one,best wine we had and we went to several of the higher end wineries. I will go back!!!

カリフォルニアワインの王様？！OPUS ONEのワイナリー。事前によやくすればワイナリー・ツアーにも参加できます。テイスティングルームの素晴らしさも必見です。

Reservations are required for wine tasting. The winery does not offer a lot as far as tours or views go, since they make a limited selection of high end Cabernet. I tried couple of their pourings the day we visited and they were very good. The winery and tasting area are elegant.

The wine is one of the best in the US. The space is monumental. However, because the demand is so high, the tour doesnt offer a lot of extras. Additionally, since the range of products is pretty narrow, there are not a lot of exploration as in other winery tours.

我覺得是NAPA最好喝的紅酒之一, 建議這間參觀排在後面點, 因為太早來品嘗, 對於其他酒廠的感覺會變淡些

I used to be able to go all the way to the top and look at the entire vineyard but this time the receptionist said I need to have a reservation =/ I bit sad that this is the case since this is the must stop place I always bring people to.

The Zen Palace of US Wine. The wine is amazing, and the winery inspirational. An expensive visit, but well worth it. Staff and setting are formal, but approachable and attentive. The production tour was highly informative - thank you!

一度は行きたいところですが、一度で良いかなお値段お高めです混雑する時期は予約した方が良いでしょう

Ron Esposito

Went to Opus 1 today for the first time. It was terrible. No tastings. $50 to $75 a glass. We had $65 glass of 2011 reserve. Not even a 6 oz pour. It was very good but not worth the money. The place was stuffy.

Not any history, explanation of what they do, little to no customer service. Also, flying the French flag with the American flag. Save your time and money for one of the other 479 wineries.

室内に入った瞬間に、素晴らしいワインの香りに悩殺されます。セカンドラベルお勧めです。

You cant even get to the store if you dont want to buy their wine. Theyll show you the price at the door and tell you if you are not interested they cant take you in. Disgusting

渡部陽仁

ワインが素晴らしいのはもちろん、建物の雰囲気や、スタッフのサービスも最高でした。

2013年6月訪問テイスティングが1杯$50は高すぎでしょう。味は最高ですが。

The price might be very high compare with Silver oak and RM, but you have to find out yourself why Opus One is Opus One. Please take the tour to see it for yourself.

Dont be intimidated by the architecture or the quietness! Grab a glass of wine, wander the grounds, and enjoy the unique, elevated view of Napa Valley.

Christina Kyle Casteel

Very pretentious and way over the top on expense. It is no where near the experience or the flavors of Stags Leap or Cakebread Cellars selections.
