Discover more about O'Brien Estate Winery

O'Brien Estate Winery, a family-owned and operated gem in Napa Valley's Oak Knoll District, provides a unique and intimate wine-tasting experience steeped in romance and personal connection. Founded by Bart and Barb O'Brien, the 40-acre estate features 33 acres of vineyards dedicated to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc. The winery distinguishes itself by crafting small-batch, handcrafted wines exclusively from its estate-grown grapes, reflecting the terroir of the Oak Knoll District. Visitors are welcomed into a serene atmosphere with views of rolling vineyards and the Mayacamas Mountains. Tastings are often held outdoors on the lawn or next to the vines, weather permitting. This setting allows guests to connect with the source of their wine. The O'Briens' story began with a shared passion for winemaking, purchasing the Oak Knoll property in 2000 and transforming it into a haven for handcrafted wines. The winery dates back to 1978, with the land originally a prune and walnut farm. O'Brien Estate almost exclusively produces wines from their own vineyards. The wines reflect the soil and micro-climate of the Napa Valley, as well as the O'Briens' careful selection of rootstock and clone varietals. Traditional winemaking techniques and aging in small French oak barrels allow the wines to express the nuances of their unique terroir. Visiting O'Brien Estate is more than just a wine tasting; it's an opportunity to connect with the people behind the wine and experience the romance of Napa Valley. Guests can explore the winemaking process and may witness winemaking operations during their tour, depending on the time of year. O'Brien Estate's commitment to quality has been recognized by wine critics.
