O’Brien Estate is a family-owned Napa Valley winery offering private anniversary wine tastings by reservation. Unlike a crowded tasting room, your celebration happens at your own table overlooking the estate vineyards — no strangers, no script, no clock. Tastings start at $85 per guest, with a Reserve experience at $150 for milestone years. Call (707) 252-8463 or reserve online.
An Anniversary Built Around the Two of You
Most wine-country anniversaries end up shared with a tasting bar full of strangers. At O’Brien Estate, every visit is private: owners Bart and Barb (or one of their hosts) meet you at the door, walk you through the cellar and vineyard, and then leave you to your own table with estate wines and a view of the Mayacamas Mountains. Couples who have celebrated here since 2007 describe it the same way — calm, romantic, and personal.
The wines themselves tell a love story. Estate bottles carry names like Fascination, Romance, Seduction, and Passion, inspired by the winemaker’s romance poetry — a fitting lineup for toasting another year together.
Choose Your Anniversary Tasting
The Private Tasting ($85 per guest, 90 minutes) includes a walk through the cellar and vineyard followed by estate wines at your private table. For milestone anniversaries, the Reserve Tasting ($150 per guest, 120 minutes) pours five rare Reserve wines made in 100-case lots, including Unrestrained Reserve, the estate’s finest wine. Celebrating with family or friends? Groups of nine or more can request a custom private event — a full estate buyout typically requires only the purchase of six or more cases of wine, with no site fee.
Frequently Asked Questions

Can you make our anniversary feel special?

How far is the estate from downtown Napa?
The estate sits on Orchard Avenue in the Oak Knoll District, a short drive from downtown Napa and Yountville — easy to pair with an anniversary dinner afterward.
