Opus One invites you to join us on our journey to reshape the winery’s landscape as we embark on physical modifications to support our long-term vision. Prioritizing stewardship of our estate vineyards, proper management of water resources, and the winery’s responsibility to the local ecosystem, the winery is putting our plan into action. While we anticipate moments of disruption, Opus One appreciates your patience and welcomes your curiosity and questions as visitors witness this unique moment in our nearly 50-year history.
Here are some of the changes we are implementing:
– Replacing thirsty lawns with native and drought-tolerant, pollinator-friendly plants.
– Introducing new culinary gardens to increase biodiversity and enhance the guest experience with estate grown produce.
– Implementing regenerative farming practices for healthier soils and vines.
Where great winemaking begins
Four meticulously hedged vineyard parcels form the Opus One estate. Here, the vineyard team cultivates five traditional Bordeaux grape varieties with experience, passion and dedication. This essential human touch brings forth the characteristics of each vintage through a balance of delicate coaxing and gentle restraint.
Stewardship of the environment
As farmers and artisans, deeply concerned with our collective future, Opus One recognizes that sustainability practices benefit the winery, our neighbors and our customers. The culture and internal practices at Opus One reflect our commitment to conservation and responsible consumption in the areas of energy, water, waste management, transportation, purchasing, and food. Opus One has been certified as a green winery as part of the Napa Valley Vintners- Napa Green Initiative, and is implementing more than 100 favorable and environmentally friendly procedures.
