History

At the gateway to the Napa Valley stands a landmark historical Victorian home and the oldest continuously operating grocery store in California, founded in 1881. This beloved general store served the visionary pioneers who first planted grapes in the valley. The adjacent founder's home at the junction of Oakville today honors the rich history, legacy and heritage of this world-famous wine region. Known as 1881 Napa, it presents the appellations of Napa Valley to provide a comprehensive discovery of its diversity, abundance, world-renowned terroir and deep history. 1881 Napa is a must-see, must-taste destination.

Specialties

We are now open for visits and tastings. Be our guest any day of the week from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm. We are adjacent to the Oakville Grocery at 7856 St. Helena Highway, Oakville, CA.
