Architecturally striking estate offering curated tastings of flagship wine
"In the heart of Napa Valley, America's most celebrated wine region, I encountered a winery that embodies the meeting of two worlds: Opus One, born from a collaboration between two legendary winemakers—Robert Mondavi, a pioneer of California wine, and Baron Phillippe de Rothschild of Chateau Mouton Rothschild." - Taylor McIntyre Taylor McIntyre Taylor McIntyre is a senior visual editor at People Inc., working on Travel + Leisure and TripSavvy.

"I note that Opus One began in 1978 as a high-profile partnership between Baron Philippe Rothschild and Robert Mondavi, and today it represents the French-influenced, more restrained style of Napa winemaking that invites comparison with Bordeaux." - Justin Goldman
"The Four Seasons Resort and Residences Napa Valley's curated itinerary will take you on a journey through California's wine capital. From Oct. 29 to Nov. 4, you’ll get unfettered access to vineyards and wineries like Opus One, a collaboration between winemaking duo Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Château Mouton Rothschild and Robert Mondavi." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"The dimly lit dining room is sleek and minimal, and the kitchen and service teams are small but efficient. Only one seasonal omakase menu is offered, with a choice of main from pork, beef and lobster, followed by a small portion of Japanese curry rice. The chef cleverly incorporates Asian influences in European-style dishes using ingredients like turmeric, lemongrass, huangjiu and kombu. Reservations are mandatory via social media." - Michelin Inspector
"An upscale, architecturally striking estate resembling a modern fortress set into a hillside, created as a joint venture between notable Old- and New-World figures; the tasting is curated and exclusive—focused on the flagship cabernet-dominant blend and its companion release, with opportunities to taste current vintages alongside library bottles." - Jessie Beck
