VISITING DOUBLE OAK

Double Oak welcomes you to taste, tour & picnic!
The Double Oak Tasting Room is open Saturdays, 11-5, February through December, and also by appointment January through December.

We welcome your visits for complementary wine tasting and sales, picnicking and tours. Bring your friends and family with you for an outing to our family farm and artisan winery. Appreciate Double Oak wine in our tasting room overlooking a native woodland of oaks, madrones and pines.

Be in touch with the process of winemaking; come and be close to where it all happens. You will be able to see how grapes go from the vineyard, to the fermentation vessels, to the barrel, and to the bottle. Tour the winery and vineyards. Buy wine that has been cellared in the best way, in the climate controlled Double Oak Winery.

Picnic on the tasting room patio or in the shade of the grandfather oak, amidst trees and flowers and the lovely quiet ambiance of our rural setting, while you sip wine and eat your picnic meal. Enjoy fine art by local artists: watercolors and oils by Jacquie Bellon and Sharon Lane; photography by Jeannine Bourdeaux; and prints by Liz Collins.

Groups are easily accommodated.

Driving to our beautiful Sierra Nevada ridge top is a pleasure in itself. It is a country drive winding through a beautiful, unfiltered landscape of woodlands, forest and river. As winemaker Bob describes it, "One of the last open roads left in California."
