"Oakville Grocery, right off Highway 29, is the slightly less glamorous version of Dean & DeLuca, with a fanbase that consists mostly of tourists and their drivers. It’s a rustic-looking mom-and-pop-style stop filled with gourmet snacks, sauces, and souvenirs. If you’re not careful you might end up spending as much as you would at a sit-down restaurant up the road, since the majority of prices are slightly inflated and quietly hidden at the bottom of each item. But if you need to grab breakfast quickly on your way to an early tasting, or feed a group of 15+ for lunch on a tight schedule, this is the place. Space is limited and consists strictly of outdoor seating, but you can sometimes snag a spot by avoiding the lines and ordering ahead online." - christina julian, jasmine alexandra

Among the bakery items and pre-made food to-go, is a deli full of high-quality sandwich options (hot and cold), wood-fired pizza made fresh in the oven outside, and sides to please even the pickiest of eaters. Space is limited and consists strictly of outdoor seating, but you can sometimes snag a spot by avoiding the lines and ordering ahead online." - Jasmine Alexandra
"This venerable sandwich shop and deli sits conveniently along Highway 29 and has soothed the soul of many a hungry traveler. The restored historic grocery — which has been in operation since 1881 and claims to be the oldest in the state — makes great sandwiches (the muffuletta is locally famous) and wood-fired pizzas. While you’re there, shop for high-end coffee, desserts, wine, olive oil, and other pantry provisions." - Dianne de Guzman, Eater Staff
"Pack a Picnic from Oakville Grocery Take advantage of the Mediterranean-like climate in Napa Valley (it rarely rains between May and October) and pack a picnic — without compromising on the quality of your cuisine, of course. The Oakville Grocery on Highway 29 has been supplying travelers for over 100 years, although under its new owner, Leslie Rudd of Dean & Deluca, the offerings have become decidedly upscale. Specializing in California cheeses, charcuterie, a good selection of local wines and nicely prepared seasonal salads and sandwiches, pack a picnic for your next tasting appointment or enjoy the impressive view of Opus One from one of the tables outside the Grocery."
