![]() ![]() When we arrived early for our tasting, we were worried after seeing the opulent tasting room and beautifully manicured grounds that the place might be too stuffy and pretentious for us. He was very knowledgeable, as you might expect, but in a warm and friendly manner. Our time there was heightened by having Brendon as our specialist. It was a great addition to our five days in the valley!Ī truly 5 star experience just begins to tell the story of our first visit and wine tasting at Opus One Winery. We enjoyed this visit so much more than our first because of the pairings plus our host, Jorge and his wonderful explanations of the production and winery philosophy. My husband and I had first visited Opus in 2017, and this time brought two couples who are good friends. We enjoyed three vintages plus a glass of overture (a blend of the blends). A less involved tasting is also available….but if you are able the pairing experience is really worth your time. Views from all angles of the mountains and vineyards are postcard worthy, and the guided tasting is informative and made even more enjoyable by accompanying curated bites. Touring the winery is fascinating and a bit awe inspiring, too. How many wineries make just one wine…but do so with such care and attention that each vintage is better than the last? Conditions with weather obviously impact production, but here there is such focus on creating the best blend possible each year and it shows in the glass. This winery set the bar high for the region when it was first created and it continues to push that bar higher. A visit to Napa Valley is not complete without a tasting and tour of Opus One.
