It’s a welcoming destination for weekend getaways, casual afternoons, and unforgettable gatherings.
The Oxto Edit
Oxto AIGrindstone is the kind of place that makes you forget you have anywhere else to be. Tucked into the Dunnigan Hills of Yolo County, this family-run estate pours small-lot Rhône and Bordeaux varietals in one of Northern California's most genuinely relaxed tasting settings — think park-side tables, live music weekends, and a crowd that actually wants to talk to you. No pretension, no rush. Just good wine and the kind of hospitality that feels earned, not performed.
