Oak Knoll AVA

  • Just south of Yountville, bound by the Napa River to the east and the Mount Veeder AVA to the west
  • Marine influence from the San Pablo Bay makes Oak Knoll a “sweet spot,” with temperatures averaging 10°F cooler than Upper Napa Valley
  • Oak Knoll typically has the longest growing season in Napa Valley
