A two-day Greater Sacramento wine country itinerary: where to taste, eat and linger, built from local knowledge.
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.
The region sits inside and just beyond the capital, 15 to 30 minutes from downtown Sacramento, which makes the logistics easy and the pace unhurried.
Late spring through October for patio weather and estate calendars, with the urban rooms making the region a genuine year-round destination.
Confirm hours before every stop; the family-scale rooms that make this region special also adjust their schedules with the seasons.
Every winery we track in the region, each with its own page.
