That's a good thing! The best areas in Oakley are the vineyards, and keep an eye out for anyone growing hops. If you love wine tours, wine making, the scenery of grape trellises or anything related to viticulture, you have a rare opportunity to glimpse at a growing, modern city with just a dash of country charm left behind.
