You’re invited to our annual Bob’s Ranch Block Party at the WALT Napa Oxbow Tasting Room!

Bob's Parties Through the Years
Bob’s Ranch is named in honor Kathryn Walt Hall’s father Bob Walt. A Pharmacist by trade, Bob turned toward viticulture in order to pursue his passion for the land. He believed that great winemaking begins with thoughtful viticulture. With each year, we continue to refine our farming and winemaking in the pursuit of honest, vivid expressions of Pinot Noir, just the way Bob would!
