Oakville Grocery

Boisset Collection, the American arm of Boisset la Famille des Grands Vins, has acquired Oakville Grocery, an eminently historic location in Napa. Founded in 1881, Oakville Grocery is the oldest continually operating grocery store in California.

For Jean-Charles Boisset, Oakville Grocery is more than just a store. It is a place full of childhood memories that he used to visit with his parents, grandparents, and sister. And he is also fully aware of what it represents for the American collective memory, for Napa, and for California as a whole.

Oakville Grocery was originally a local market where neighbors would connect with local producers and farmers. Over time, it became a famous location in this celebrated wine valley. It is a magnificent testimony to the past for locals and tourists alike, just like the next-door Victorian property which will soon be open to visitors.

Soon, Oakville Grovery will be offering a range of fresh and organic local farm produce, in the same spirit that has driven our biodynamic and organic approach to winegrowing across our family estates for many years.

Boisset’s Atelier Fine Foods in Yountville, opened in 2016, and was the company’s first foray into gourmet food, offering a curated selection of high-quality gourmet products, from both local and hard-to-find international purveyors, some of which are exclusively imported and sold by the Atelier.
