About Ousterhout Wine & Vineyard
Ousterhout Wine & Vineyard carries the Dutch-heritage family surname of the Ousterhout family — their name on a Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon estate that reflects the family's personal commitment to one of California's most historically significant wine appellations. The Ousterhout name carries Dutch resonance (Dutch-heritage California families were among the state's early agricultural settlers) applied to a wine region that Italian-American families helped establish as a Zinfandel destination.
The West Dry Creek Road estate produces Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petite Sirah from hillside vineyards with the walk-in accessibility and family-welcoming hospitality that the direct-surname naming implies. The Dry Creek Valley's unique combination of warm days, cool evenings, and well-drained hillside soils produces Zinfandel of concentrated, structured character.
The daily walk-in tasting room is dog-friendly, picnic-equipped, and family-hospitable.
