Our editors' picks for the essential Greater Sacramento wineries and tasting rooms, and why each one earns the stop.
Every list like this is an argument. Ours favors rooms that express what makes Greater Sacramento itself: urban tap-poured wines, six-generation estate bottlings and Grant Line district reds served beside music and food trucks.
The anchor is easy: Elk Grove's Grant Line district, where Adkins, Vannatta and Christopher Cellars pour within minutes of each other on weekend evenings.
start at Acheson's seven-day Midtown taps to learn the urban style, then take a Saturday Grant Line loop through Christopher Cellars and Adkins before booking McConnell's homestead tasting
Saturday for the Elk Grove loop, Grant Line flights into a Vannatta or Ever After evening, then Sunday morning in Old Sacramento with the twin lounges and the riverfront
Every winery we track in the region, each with its own page.
