Wine tasting at Napa
#celebratewithtrip
Ever since I had an Opus One (2014) bottle, I’ve been curious to visit the vineyard to fully appreciate the nuance taste of the wine.
With Napa Valley right on my doorstep, I decided to take the splurge and finally see it for myself. Upon arrival I decide to try the tasting package and get to try get the 2006 Opus, 2015 Opus, and the 2017 Opus vintages.
I won’t dive too much into the tasting notes of each, but suffice to say that I truly loved them all and it’s such a pleasure sampling so much premium wine.
If you’re doing a tour here, make sure to visit this estate last. For wine lovers, this splurge is a must.

Napa Valley Opus One Winery
I visited Napa Valley, which is about an hour north of San Francisco by car
Napa Valley is said to be a place with beautiful mountains and water with many famous wineries
We went there by rental car, and it was nice to be able to leisurely choose and visit the wineries written on the roadside
We made a reservation for a tasting at Opus One before leaving the country based on the recommendation of people who know a little about wine
Opus One does not allow entry unless you have a reservation, and you have to check the reservation information at the entrance to enter
The tasting fee was $100 per person for 2 glasses
There were 2 of us, so 4 glasses..! Haha
We are wine idiots who have only tried cheap wines, so we thought there would be no difference... But it was really interesting and fun to try the same wine with a different production year along with the partner's explanation
The pretty winery building and vineyard were a bonus...
I was a bit worried because it was more expensive than a regular winery tasting, but it started from a town called Napa Valley and became the most memorable place.
If you are planning to go to San Francisco, I highly recommend stopping by Napa Valley for a day!!
