Oakville is a small yet prestigious wine-producing region in Napa County, California. Located in the heart of Napa Valley, Oakville is world-renowned for its Cabernet Sauvignon, historic vineyards, and ultra-premium wineries. This exclusive destination is home to some of California’s most famous wine estates, including Opus One, Screaming Eagle, and Robert Mondavi Winery.
Oakville’s origins trace back to the 1860s when it served as a water stop for the Napa Valley Railroad Company’s steam train. The railroad, founded in 1864 by early California pioneer Samuel Brannan, transported travelers from Vallejo’s ferry docks to Calistoga’s hot springs and spas. Named after its majestic valley oaks, Oakville quickly evolved into a wine-growing powerhouse.
The area’s winemaking history began in 1868 when Henry Walker Crabb planted the first vineyard, To Kalon, meaning “highest beauty” in Greek. Today, To Kalon remains one of the most revered vineyard sites in Napa Valley, producing exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
