Transport yourself to wine country’s idyllic tasting rooms without leaving Chicago. The Cellar Door offers an intimate, semi-private tasting bar for up to six guests. Designed to evoke the warm hospitality and terroir of wine country, this sommelier-led experience features a rotating, curated calendar of our favorite wineries from California.
Over 90 minutes, you’ll be guided through a tasting of hard-to-find wines, with stories and insights that immerse you in the culture of the winery.
To complement your tasting, a chef-curated cheese and salumi pairing is available. After your experience, we invite you to continue the evening by booking a dinner reservation with us.
Cellar Door reservations are available on the Experiences tab of the Oakville's OpenTable page. Please note that access to the full dinner menu is not included in this experience, and reservations are required ahead of time to secure a table after or before the experience in the restaurant. Our team will do our best to accommodate any last-minute requests.
The Hendry team farms their 203-acre estate vineyard with meticulous care, allowing each grape varietal to speak for itself. From crisp Albariño to structured Cabernet Sauvignon, every wine is estate-grown and thoughtfully crafted, embodying a rare balance of science and soul.
