In the Salon, the winery’s most formal space, eighteenth-century Italian opera chairs face contemporary chenille sofas and suede seating. The quiet profile of Opus One blends with the natural surroundings – the vineyards and rolling hills of the Napa Valley. The building now literally rises out of the earth, and through a mix of classical European and contemporary Californian elements, gradually discloses its distinctive beauty. In July of 1989, groundbreaking for the new winery took place and the construction of the facility was completed in 1991. In 1984, Baron Philippe, his daughter Philippine and Robert Mondavi selected Scott Johnson, an architect of Johnson, Fain & Pereira, to design the Opus One winery. The winery consists of 170 acres the first estate vineyard acquired in 1981, when Robert Mondavi sold 35 acres that was apart of his famous To-Kalon Vineyard. Their four vineyards are meticulously hedged and cultivated with passion and perfection, the vintners being well aware that great winemaking begins first and foremost in the vineyards. Looking out across Opus One’s vineyards, one immediately senses Opus One is different. The winery creates an exceptional Bordeaux blend, their one and only specialty wine. By combining the great winemaking traditions and innovations of both families, the founders’ singular goal was to create an exceptional wine in the heart of Napa Valley, in which they have succeeded. Opus One was founded by renowned Napa Valley vintner Robert Mondavi and Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Château Mouton Rothschild, which is in Pauillac, France.
