Historic deli offering gourmet picnic fare, wine & local provisions
"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
"While the Healdsburg branch is closing, the Oakville Grocery at 7856 St. Helena Highway in Oakville will remain open." - Dianne de Guzman
"Also part of Donohue's Napa collection, I observed Oakville Grocery is featured among the Napa Valley standards in his prints, with a portion of print-sale proceeds going to arts education at the Napa Valley Museum Yountville." - Lauren Saria
