    Tours and tastings by appt only.

    It's so worth making an appointment here. The wines are fabulous and the view from the al fresco tasting room is spectacular. All of the wines here are stellar. And although this is a prestigious winery, they do offer affordable blends which are wonderful in their own right. Joseph Phelps is not to be missed on any trip to Napa!

    Things To Do: Opus One Winery
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Napa - The Magnificent Opus One
  • The Magnificent Opus One
  • by Etoile2B
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Hours of Operation: 10 am to 4 pm, daily.

    Tours: Daily at 10:30 am – by reservation only.

    Tastings: $25, but a must do, at least once, for any wine connoisseur. Opus One is the King of wines around here, so unless you can afford a bottle (starting at $125 a pop for a young vintage) the best way to taste the excellence is here at the vineyard.

    The Tasting room is a charming cave where you can also get a first hand look at their winemaking process. The staff is casual, friendly and loves their wine. They're known for producing a nice Zinfindel.

  • Napa - Sterling Vineyards
  • Sterling Vineyards
  • by Etoile2B

  • Hours of Operation: 10:30am - 4:30pm Daily

    Tastings & Tours: Adults $15US, Under 21 accompanied by an Adult $10US (not allowed to taste) Children under 3 free.

    The tasting fee includes the aerial tram up to the vineyard. Sterling is located at the top of a hill in Calistoga, hence the need to take the tram up to the vineyard. The wine is just okay, but the views of Napa Valley from up here are worth the trip!
