    This temple-like building is ideal for hushed, meditative appreciation of the Opus One single vintage. Bonus: this is the only place you can purchase Overture, their yearly second wine.

    Order yourself a flight of wine with 2012,2014 and the overture for $70. You could also reserve a tour in advance for $85 which comes with tasting the overture and 2014 opus one. Go visit the terrace!

    Beautiful and austere property and tasting room. 2013 is still too young. Overture is much more approachable now. Worth the visit but not sure if the wine is worth the $$$ compared to Other cult cabs

    How do you not love the marketing at Opus One!?! We're consistently drawn to the beauty and ambiance of this property as if it were a magnet. Grab a bottle of Overture during your visit!

    Don't forget the Tums...and the pink slip to your car or your first born to pay for the tasting

    Views are fabulous and wine is nice. Service was surprisingly mediocre

    Tour & tasting is $60. Tasting & intro happens in this room, which feels less a winery & more like a private home.

    Hands down the best glass (yes tastings here are by the glass) of wine you'll have in the valley!

    Try a $40 glass of wine (cheaper than the $300 bottle!). They do have a less expensive wine for around $80/bottle to buy

    $40 for one tasting. One. A bottle of 2010 is $235. The 2008 is $775.

    Beautiful views from the rooftop terrace. There are 2 wines for tasting ( charged separately) but no flights so it's more akin to ordering wine at a bar. Nice tasting room though!

    They only have red wines to sample. The 2005 is $40 and the 2008 is $35. I prefer wine flights over one pour, but the view from the terrace was nice.

    Generous pours for the $30 fee, so good to share. Take your glass up to the terrace on the roof rather than staing downstaris.

    The wine is amazing-it doesn't matter if it's just red wine. The wine is velvet in a glass!
