Like most successful wine families, the Housley's began in the industry working the soil. Our Chardonnay grapes just outside Napa Valley's Stag Leap District received high marks and provided high quality fruit to several wineries. After about 15 years, the family decided that the Lodi Appellation offered a tremendous growing opportunity, in an area traditionally known as California's largest and first wine country.
The first 57-acre vineyard purchased in the mid 1990's continues to provide highly sought after Cabernet Grapes to wineries like Gallo of Sonoma. Other vineyards around the Acampo, Lodi and Woodbridge wine-growing areas have become a part of the Housley growing operation. The prizeā€¦.a 20 acre Old Vine Zinfandel vineyard that epitomizes the worldwide recognition Lodi is receiving for its fine Zinfandel wines
With the growing operation continuing its success, like many other families in the area, the Housley's decided to branch out and make some of this acclaimed juice into fine wines. After months of planning, the winery began to take shape in September of 2000. Built on the front 40 acres of a Cabernet Vineyard, Century Oak Winery is a quarter mile south of the historical Peltier Road on North Lower Sacramento Road. Just a couple miles to the south and also to the east, historical towns of Woodbridge and Acampo.
The winery's name comes from the famed valley oak tree that heads Century Oak's 40 main acre site. Valley Oaks are California's tree and have stood in California's heartland, like the Lodi Appellation, for centuries, ours is more than 100 years old. Known for their beauty, strength, history and size, we feel our wines are best represented by California's guardian, the Valley Oak.
