Private and corporate events
A Napa Valley event venue you can have to yourselves
Up to 70 guests on a family-owned estate in the Oak Knoll District. Reserve the whole property, with no site fee.
Why host your event at O’Brien Estate?
Because the whole estate can be yours.
Many event venues rent you a room. Here you get the property: the vineyard, the pergola, the barrel cellar and the views of the Oak Knoll District, with no other guests on the grounds.
We are a family winery, not an event hall. Bart and Barb plan each event with you personally, and our small team pours wines grown on this ground.
We would rather share wine than charge rent
When you reserve the entire estate, there is no site fee. Your event starts with six cases of estate wine. That is 72 bottles poured for your guests.
Every unopened bottle goes home with you. Your event budget ends up in your cellar, not on a rental invoice.
What corporate events can you host here?
Company retreats, client dinners, team celebrations and award presentations.
The table in this photo seated 32 guests in the barrel cellar for a sales award dinner. For larger groups, we set tables under the pergola and market lights as the sun drops behind the hills.
We can coordinate catering, from passed appetizers to a full seated dinner. Live music can be arranged too, like a jazz trio under the oak or a guitarist among the vines.
The whole estate holds up to 70 guests. Smaller corporate gatherings are priced individually.
What private events can you host here?
Birthdays, reunions, girls’ weekends, anniversary parties and milestone celebrations.
A group tasting here is the private tasting you came to Napa for, at a longer table. Your party sits together among the vines. No crowded bar and no strangers at the next table.
A member of the family or our small team pours estate wines and tells the stories behind them. Your group sets the pace, not a script.
Larger groups are priced individually. For a bigger celebration, reserve the whole estate.
