About Napa Wine Company
Napa Wine Company at 7830 St. Helena Highway in Oakville occupies one of the most historically significant winery facilities in the valley, a property with roots dating to 1877 that has served as a custom crush facility, cooperative winery, and independent producer across its nearly 150-year history. The Oakville location places the facility at the geographic heart of Napa's Cabernet belt, with access to some of the most coveted vineyard real estate in California.
Today's Napa Wine Company functions as both a custom crush facility for dozens of small Napa Valley producers and as an estate winery producing wines under its own label. Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay anchor the estate program, sourced from Oakville and neighboring appellations and produced with the kind of precision that decades of winemaking infrastructure and institutional knowledge enable. The facility's long history means the winemaking team has accumulated vintage data and vineyard relationships that newer estates cannot match.
The tasting room is open daily from 10am to 5pm with walk-ins welcome, and the $20 starting fee makes it one of the best value propositions on the Oakville stretch of Highway 29. The property's historic character and the breadth of winemaking activity on-site create an atmosphere that feels more authentically agricultural than many of the valley's more architecturally polished visitor destinations.
"Napa Wine Company is living history, a facility that has made wine continuously since 1877 and still manages to be one of the valley's best-value tasting experiences."
For visitors interested in the infrastructure and craft behind Napa Valley winemaking, as well as access to serious Oakville-appellation wines at accessible prices, Napa Wine Company is an underappreciated gem in the valley's visitor landscape.
