Passionate about food, people, life, land, liberty, and the meaningful relationships we develop with each passing day. We hope this passion is evident when you enjoy life.

In the spring of 1965, at the age of 18, Richard James Oak allocated 300 acres of the family estate to plant a vineyard with help from his good friend Samuel George Washington educated in viticulture. They only planted 10 acres that year but sold their first crop of Chardonnay, Merlot, and Pinot Noir in 1968; by 1974, 30 acres of usual to unusual varietals were growing and producing.

Today, only 120 of the 300 acres, Richard allocated for the vineyard, are used to produce our grapes.

Oak Family Vineyard & Ranch Estate uses traditional and up-to-date grape growing for the use of eating, raisins, juice, and other grapes use — yes, even some are made into wine, but not at our facility.

With an uncompromising commitment to quality and taste, our mission is to produce grapes that reflect the distinctive character of the Oak Family Mountain Ranch.

We could go on about how the grapes love the terroir here at Oak Family Vineyard & Ranch Estate, how we nurture them by hand, how our grapes are organically grown, and have big, bold, fruity forward attributes. But does that add to the essence, quality, or uniqueness of the flavor of our grapes? Yes, it does.

This is not a real location; it is created for the movies Petite Chardonnay (2012) & Chardonnay.
