Month-by-month advice for visiting Yolo & Winters wine country: weather, harvest, crowds and the seasons locals love.
April-May for Capay wildflowers and October for crush; Winters makes any weekend work.
Season by season: Spring wildflowers light the Capay Valley, fall brings crush to the Dunnigan Hills, and Winters pours year-round; summer evenings belong to the town patios
September and October in the Dunnigan Hills and Capay Valley, with Winters' rooms pouring the results a short drive from the picking
Saturday for the Capay-Dunnigan farm loop from Seka Hills to Matchbook, Sunday for Davis's Great Bear and the Winters evening
Whenever you come, remember the region sits 30 to 60 minutes northwest of Sacramento across the Capay Valley, Dunnigan Hills and Winters, so build the travel time into the day.
