Shoutout to the West Sacramento/ Clarksburg area…read more... The Old Sugar Mill in Clarksburg is a historic beet sugar refinery from 1934-1993 that has wine shops and tasting rooms for local wineries. They have over a dozen wineries. Wine tastings average $15 and most wineries waive the fee if you buy a bottle. They have wine shops in the main building and in the other building. Don't forget to walk back and to the right to the shops in the separate back building, there is 3-4 more wineries. Each winery are literal walled shops with their own seating areas. Temperature controlled which is nice on hot summer days. Each have their own wine tasting, food offerings, and special events. Old Sugar Mill is less than 15 minute drive from downtown Sacramento. The buildings are beautiful. They kept the historic brick walls and exterior. It has a modern shabby chic look. Three different brands owned the refinery. It all began in 1934 with Amalgamated, American Crystal Sugar Factory (1936-1982), and Delta Sugar (1983-1993). The sugar was refined by local Northern Californian grown beets. The buildings was renovated in 2000 for its current use. Awesome concept and beautiful architecture design. They also host weddings and events. They have a banquet room with slideshow equipment. There is also an outdoor lawn and adjoining paved patio area that is shaded in the afternoon by the buildings that would make for a gorgeous wedding venue. On hot summer days, the Delta breeze kicks in for instant cool down. No outside food are picnics are allowed. On the weekends, they have food trucks. Plus the majority of the wineries sell food (appetizers) as well. Also no pets are allowed (excluding service animals). The restrooms are located right by the front entrance.

Tucked away in Clarksburg, this woman-owned winery is charming and intimate. The parking lot is small (around 15 cars), but it's conveniently located right off the main road, so it's easy to find. Wine highlights: * 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon (bestseller): rich and layered with ripe strawberry, plum, mocha, and a hint of spice * 2023 Montepulciano (2026 SF Chronicle Gold Winner): light, easy drinking with raspberry, cranberry, and herbal notes * 2023 Durif (my favorite): dark, bold, and complex with blackberry, plum, and a smooth structured finish * 2021 Blanc de Noir sparkling: light, crisp, and bubbly * 2025 Verdejo (new release): fresh, aromatic with peach and citrus Wine flights (any 4) are only $15: great value. They put small stickers to indicate the wine on each tasting glass. Food: Four cheese panini and Reuben panini are solid picks, served with kettle chips or salad. Service: friendly, decent speed Wine club is also very accessible: no membership fee to join, with 3 tiers (4, 6, or 12 bottles), and complimentary tastings for up to 4 guests. Restroom: 2 (two) (all genders): spacious, clean. The atmosphere is what really makes this place stand out: well-manicured grounds with fragrant roses, apricot trees, a charming chicken coop area, and a beautiful open event space with hanging lights. Live music every Saturday and every other Sunday adds to the experience. They also offer private event spaces where you can bring your own food (just purchase their wine), which makes it a great spot for celebrations. Overall, a perfect little weekend escape if you're looking for a relaxed, intimate winery experience. Bonus: they even have a cozy corner dedicated to adoptable cats: each with their own name and personality profile. Currently 3 boys and 1 girl, $150 per cat.

I have to say, considering the fact that this was a holiday weekend, the amount of patrons in attendance, whether it was the main area or even throughout the vineyard was impressive. My uncle was playing all type of great hits, and the crowd was very engaged. It was super hot that damn people still were dancing and sipping their wine and those delicious wine slushies and let's not forget the food. Paesanos being on site is a huge bonus in my book. I'm already looking forward to the next time and I have to also mention that our hostess with the most is not hope I don't forget her name. Michele was amazing. Her service was impeccable.

And it is a source of great pride to find our local, Greater Sacramento-Delta Bogle wines when we travel outside of California or USA. In fact, we were thrilled to enjoy a bottle in Shanghai, China! But we had never been to the Bogle Family Ranch and Vineyards outside of Clarksburg, CA. We finally reserved a couple of hours to visit the winery - and can't say enough good things! We enjoyed several, terrific wines not available in our local stores - such as their delicious Sparkling Rose! But more importantly, experienced a lovely afternoon on the BEAUTIFUL Bogle Family Ranch grounds! Everything around us was green and gorgeous; with cool breezes due to the surrounding water of the Sacramento River. The picnic tables were warm and inviting. The snacks were great (we brought a picnic lunch). And EVERY employee with which we spoke was excited to educate and inspire us - taking great pride in Bogle Family's six generations of Delta farming; sincere commitment to sustainability and the community; and vision of how the family plans to continue the winery's growth and international expansion, while maintaining its commitment to winemaking excellence. Every staff member that we met had been Bogle employees for over 10 years at least (a couple over 30!). I think it really says a lot about a company and family when their employees promote and compliment - even when the bosses are not in the room! While we had originally planned just a one-time visit to the Bogle vineyards, we left as Bogle Family Wine Club Members. And look forward to attending many Bogle events (including live music and movie nights), in the upcoming year. Well done and thanks for a great day, Bogle Family!

I was really looking forward to visiting Bogle Winery since I'd never been before and had heard…read moregreat things. The wine and property are lovely -- unfortunately the welcome at the door felt like an audition for "Most Judgmental Winery Greeter." When we walked in, the woman at the front greeted us with a slow head-to-toe scan before even saying hello. For context, we weren't exactly stumbling in from a river float -- Patagonia, designer black jeans, nice casual wine-country attire. My partner was dressed similarly. Completely normal for a winery visit. Since it was my first time there, I asked where we should go. She informed us -- while continuing the visual inspection -- that upstairs was reserved for more formally dressed guests with reservations. The upstairs area, by the way, was completely empty. She then told us we could "go help ourselves around the corner." The tone was less "welcome to wine country" and more "you appear to be beneath the staircase." Honestly, I've been to plenty of wineries, from casual tasting rooms to higher-end spots, and I've never been greeted with that level of instant judgment. It was oddly hostile for a place that literally sells a beverage meant for relaxing. The ironic part is that after getting past that moment, the rest of the experience was actually nice. The wine was good, the grounds are pretty, and the other staff we interacted with were perfectly pleasant. But that initial interaction? Brutal. If first impressions matter (and they do in hospitality), someone might want to let the front door know that sizing people up like a nightclub bouncer at 1am isn't exactly the warm, welcoming winery vibe most people are hoping for. Great wine. Beautiful place. One spectacularly toxic greeting.

We were greeted by friendly staff and a complimentary pour. Prior to visiting Heringer Estates, I noticed they offered a sweet flight which was a huge reason why I wanted to visit; however, it was not on the menu. Luckily for me they were able to accommodate me by making a custom flight. Our flight of tastings consisted of three pours: Moscato, Chardonnay, and a port. We even received a sample of their popular wine slushy. My friend and I both ordered the same tasting and we were very impressed with all of them. She especially liked the moscato, and I especially liked the chardonnay. Although, I really did enjoy all of them. The staff member seemed very knowledgeable and explained each one to us. I can't wait to come back for more! Especially on a warmer day to enjoy a wine slushy. If you enjoy going on walks, they have stairs that lead you to the levee. Their vineyard is only a twenty-minute drive from Sacramento. If you don't like crowds, I recommend going on a week day.

Inside the Sugar Mill it's really cool, a little too chilly for us. On the other hand I bet this is the perfect place in the sweating Summer heat. They are located in the main Sugar Mill building. They also have a room for you to sit and enjoy your wine with family and friends. If you are looking for a restroom it's located to the left soon as you walk into the Sugar Mill. Parking isn't an issue when we arrived. There were plenty of parking in their private lot. It's a short walk from the parking lot to Rendezvous-vous Winery. If you are seeking more information check out their website. It is packed with so much information. Including a calendar of events. Rendez-vous Winery received Gold Award for the best wine bar and wine selection in Sacramento in 2025 and 2024. In 2016 Viognier, they won Best White Wine (Best of Show) in the entire state of CA at California State Fair Wine Competition in 2016. In 2017, they won best Riesling in the state. Very impressive. They are having a Wine, Port, and Chocolate Event February 14-15 from 11am-5pm. This sounds like a fabulous event. I love chocolate. And my husband loves wine so it's a perfect pairing. We're busy that weekend, but hopefully they will have more events like this. They also have a shop in midtown, which is so much more convenient for me, but lacks the ambiance that the Sugar Mill has. The sugar mill used to be an actual beet sugar mill. They are located in the first slot when you walk in the main entrance of the Sugar Mill. Such a quaint location. I love it.

Instead of driving all the way to Napa and spending a fortune on tastings, we decided to take a detour and take a drive along the river.

The tastings are generous, and they happily accommodate the tastings to your specific preferences. If you're interested in an incredible and affordable experience, this is the place for you.

However, cruising on the water in a covered boat was very comfortable., Captain Emil is the best! He was very knowledgeable about the local vineyards and served generous pours of local wines.

He offered additional pours of other wines or the opportunity to 'revisit' the wines we liked. All in all a wonderful experience and we plan to make this an annual event!

The tasting room has a unique personality, with beautiful Tiffany-style stained glass lamps and intricate iron dragons created by Shawn Bayley. It gives the space a warm, inviting feel that's unlike most wineries. Karen took care of our tasting, and she was incredibly friendly and welcoming. She happily answered our questions about the winemaking process, made thoughtful recommendations, and never made us feel rushed. After tasting the Petit Syrah, Merlot, and Pinot Noir, we ended up ordering a bottle of the Pinot Noir to enjoy. The winery also has plenty of seating for both small and larger groups, along with private tasting rooms that can be reserved for events. Wine club members receive discounted rental rates, which is a nice added perk if you plan on visiting regularly. My partner and I have been watching House of the Dragon lately, and the atmosphere here definitely gave us those medieval, dragon-inspired vibes. Between the unique décor, welcoming hospitality, and excellent red wines, we'll definitely be back.
