About Charter Oak Winery

This family-run St. Helena gem handcrafts small-batch wines using a 1900s wooden basket press in the same cellar where Rob Fanucci's grandfather once made wine, turning childhood inspiration into seriously good Zinfandels and field blends. Layla typically hosts tastings herself and even has an art studio on-site, so you're getting the full cultural experience.
