Where Two Worlds Converge

Opus One represents a singular vision: the marriage of two of the world's great winemaking traditions. Born in 1979 from the partnership of Robert Mondavi and Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Chateau Mouton Rothschild, the estate was founded on a shared belief that Napa Valley could produce wines of equal stature to the finest Bordeaux.

The winery sits on 170 acres in the heart of the Oakville AVA, where the combination of well-drained alluvial soils, moderate temperatures, and the influence of the nearby Mayacamas and Vaca mountain ranges creates ideal conditions for Bordeaux varieties. Every vintage is a single wine: a proprietary blend led by Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec.

The estate itself is an architectural landmark designed to echo the harmony of its wine. The semi-circular structure, partially set into the hillside, features a dramatic colonnade and a rooftop terrace with sweeping views of the To Kalon vineyard. Below ground, a vast barrel cellar cradles each vintage as it evolves over 18 months in French oak.

NapaValleyWineryGuide.com is a dedicated guide to Napa Valley wine country, covering 489 wineries across all 17 AVAs. Our audience is high intent: wine enthusiasts, wine club members, collectors, and travelers actively planning visits, tastings, and trips to wine country.

The numbers above reflect the scale and engagement of that audience. Visitors do not skim and leave; they explore. With more than 15 pages per session and an average visit of over five and a half minutes, readers move through winery profiles, appellation guides, and tasting itineraries in a single sitting, which means your message is seen in a focused, unhurried context rather than competing for a fleeting glance.

That depth of engagement is exactly what makes our inventory valuable. Nearly a million banner impressions a day are delivered to people who are not idly browsing but actively researching where to spend their time and money in Napa Valley. For a winery, tasting room, restaurant, hotel, tour operator, or luxury brand, that is an audience already in a buying and planning mindset.

We deliberately keep advertising limited and well placed, so every unit stays visible and your brand sits alongside trusted editorial rather than clutter. You will never find a page buried under stacked banners or intrusive pop-ups here; restraint protects both the reader experience and your campaign's impact. We offer three standard display formats:

Billboard 970 x 90
Premium top of page on the homepage and key landing pages
Leaderboard 728 x 90
Banner placement across the directory, guides, and articles
Box 300 x 250
In content and sidebar placement on high engagement pages

Beyond standard display, we offer featured winery placements that position your property at the top of its appellation, sponsored editorial written in our own trusted voice, newsletter inclusions, and seasonal packages timed to harvest, holidays, and peak visitation when planning activity is at its highest.

Campaigns can be targeted by appellation and by content category, so a Calistoga estate can reach readers browsing Calistoga, and a sparkling house can appear alongside our sparkling and Carneros coverage. This relevance lifts engagement and keeps your spend focused on the visitors most likely to convert.

Reporting is straightforward and transparent. You receive impression and click figures for your placements, and we are happy to work with your own ad server or tracking so you can measure performance against your other channels with confidence.

Whether you are a single tasting room with a focused budget or a hospitality group planning a year-long presence, we will tailor a package to your goals. Rates are competitive, terms are flexible, and inventory is limited, so prime placements are filled on a first-come basis.

For current rates, availability, audience demographics, and a custom proposal, contact us at . We typically respond within one business day.
