Oakville Grocery in December

December 1, 2014 by Joe Becerra

Oakville grocery in december

The Oakville Grocery on a beautiful December day

Oakville Grocery in December

Driving north on Highway 29 in Oakville, you’ll see the historic Oakville Grocery established in 1881. It looks particularly beautiful in December. The vines are bare in Oakville, and this brings the Oakville Grocery into full view. The Oakville Grocery was refurbished a few years ago after it had been purchased by Leslie Rudd. Leslie Rudd also owns Dean & Deluca, and the Rudd Estate Winery. The picnic area has been redone and, if you cannot make it to one of the wineries, picnicking at the Oakville Grocery is an excellent alternative. The deli at the Oakville Grocery has something for everyone, sandwiches, salads, and cheese selections. We like to grab a deli sandwich and head across the Valley on Oakville Crossroad to the Silverado Trail. At the Silverado Trail, you can turn either right or left and, within a short distance, find wineries with picnic spots. These include Rutherford Hill, Pine Ridge and Clos du Val. See our list of picnic wineries and other places to purchase a picnic lunch. Nearby the Oakville Grocery, along Highway 29, are located several boutique wineries. Most of these wineries do not have picnic areas, so plan accordingly. See the Boutique Napa Valley Wine Route.  The Oakville Grocery, even in December, is a popular spot for locals and tourists alike.  We like to call ahead so our sandwiches are ready when we arrive at the Oakville Grocery. The Sandwich Menu is online.

Napa Valley Wine Country News

July 11, 2013 by joe

Are you traveling to the Napa Valley any time soon? Here is the latest Napa Valley wine country news and information.

Oakville Grocery starts an online store
The newly-remodeled Oakville Grocery in the Napa Valley has a new sandwich menu and a new online store. If you are a new traveler to the Napa Valley, you certainly must stop in and at least browse this iconic fixture on Highway 29 in Oakville. Oakville Grocery just launched an e-commerce website, enabling anyone to purchase from the market at shop.oakvillegrocery.com. Originally opened in 1881, Oakville Grocery began as a farmers’ store and is the oldest continually operating grocery store in California. Everything is sourced from California farmers, artisans, and purveyors, with a focus on Napa and Sonoma Valleys.

Travel Tip: We always call ahead to have our deli sandwiches or salads made up in advance. The Oakville Grocery is a popular spot, so call ahead and avoid the long lines. Then head off to one of the Napa Valley’s picnic wineries and enjoy wine country at its finest.
