There’s nothing quite like spending the day driving around wine country and visiting Northern California’s world-famous wineries. After all, wine is what our region is famous for! However, there’s definitely something to be said for visiting an urban winery. Urban wineries are a convenient way to enjoy some NorCal wine without the long drive. The winery featured here brings an awesome wine tasting experience to the heart of historic Oroville and it’s a place that every wine enthusiast should check out.
Welcome to downtown Oroville's first urban winery: Purple Line Urban Winery! This unique tasting room makes it possible to sample amazing NorCal wine without venturing too far from home.
Located in Oroville's Historical District, Purple Line Winery proudly offers a wine tasting experience unlike any other. Here, you'll find a complete working wine cellar, tasting room, restaurant, and event venue - all in one place!
Purple Line offers a bit of the real wine country experience right here in town. The majority of their wines are made from grapes sourced straight from the Northern Sierra Foothill region. In a process they call "Bringing the Grapes to Town", they are crushed, pressed, fermented, barreled, aged, and bottled right here within the urban facility.
Visitors can enjoy Purple Line's tasty selection of wines by the flight, glass, or bottle. The tasting room is open Wednesday from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., Thursday and Friday from 4:00 p.n. to 9:00 p.m., Saturday from 12:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., and Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
It's evident that Purple Line is more than just a tasting room. The winery's on-site restaurant, Vibe Grill & Pub, serves up a variety of delicious eats that you can enjoy while you sip.
The outdoor patio is a great place to hang out, eat, and enjoy quality time with friends and family. Surrounded by a beautiful park setting, visitors are encouraged to enjoy activities like corn hole, giant Jenga, and bocce ball.
