You will walk through our vineyards and winery and learn how wine is made from vine to bottle during your tasting of our 94 point Robert Parker rated wines. Reservations required. Be sure to inquire about joining the O'Brien Estate Wine Club while memberships are still available. We offer a series of wines that describes the diffent stages of a deepening relationship between 2 people - the story is told by the names of the wines and the poetry on the back label written by Bart and Barb O'Brien. Our goal is to touch your heart before the wine touches your lips. The wine is extraordinary; the experience even more so. « less

I've never had so much fun on a winery tour before. I've had more informative, more educational, more thorough, etc. but this was so much fun! And if you're not looking to start your own vineyard or become a sommelier, you want to have fun. We arrived for the last tour of the day and it was with another lovely... More

The tour and tasting was very laid back and peaceful. Adam the tour guide was very nice and helpful. My wife and I had a great time on our first trip to Napa and joined our first and only wine club here. We look forward to getting our first shipment.

Friends from the east coast and San Jose gathered in Napa to celebrate my 50th birthday. While we visited several top wineries, O'brien Estate was everyone's favorite. Quaint and friendly, adirondack chairs face the rolling vineyard and the barn-like tasting room has charm galore. Connected iron hearts greet you on the facade and offer a hint of what's inside–total romance.... More

Definatly recommend this to people of all ages! Jonny

The tour was small and ~1 hour, they took us out on the grounds and weren't stingy with the tasting. The story of this place is interesting, but a little fabricated, but that doesn't detract since the wine is great...a lot of blends. The view from this location is spectacular!

Our friends are members of their wine club and when they found out we were going they insisted we try it ourselves. O'Brien Estates did not disappoint! It is close to down town Napa and yet, you feel so far away from the hustle and bustle when you are there. They have evening lantern winery tours, dinners, etc. I want... More

My husband and I both enjoyed our visit to O'Brien Estate Winery. Great wine and our tour guide Richard kept us entertained with local info and stories. Thanks Richard! We visited on New Year's Eve so liked that the tour was only an hour and that the wine sampling began immediately.

Friendly, family-owned winery in a lovely setting. Very good wines, reasonably priced. Tasting experiences have always been good and our guests have been impressed enough to return with their friends.

After seeing the land from a hot air balloon ride and on the suggestion of our pilot, we jumped out of the basket from 900 feet. No, seriously, we did go straight away after making a quick phone call to see if we could visit. Wow is the word. Finding a gem like this is unusual. Being a small, family... More
