I was really looking forward to visiting this winery, but unfortunately our experience was…read moredisappointing. Before arriving, I called to ask if reservations were needed. Sharon told me they weren't required for wine tastings or wine by the glass. only for dining. However, when we arrived, the hostess said outdoor seating required reservations. Since my husband is injured, we couldn't take a bottle down to the lower outdoor area she suggested. She eventually seated us in the courtyard, but after waiting 15 minutes, we were only served water. We waited another 10 minutes and no one ever came to take our drink order, while the table around us was attended to multiple times. I hate to bring race into it, but as a brown couple, it honestly felt like we were treated differently. We came excited to experience the Placer Wine Trail and enjoy the beautiful views, but we left feeling unwelcome and disappointed.

Wise Villa Winery is a beautiful winery located just outside of Lincoln, with a stunning property…read moreand a charming atmosphere. We visited for lunch and enjoyed trying several items from the menu. The Brussels sprouts are an absolute must--they were delicious, especially with the bacon jam that added a great balance of flavor. I also tried their signature burger, which was decent overall, but I felt it could have used a little more attention to the toppings. The onion, in particular, felt like it was simply added on without much thought or preparation. For dessert, I ordered the Crème Brûlée, which was very enjoyable and a nice way to finish the meal. The service was the one area that could use improvement. Our server was quite slow and seemed to delay taking our order and bringing out our food, which affected the overall experience. Despite that, the beautiful setting, good food, and especially the Brussels sprouts made it a worthwhile visit. I would definitely return and look forward to enjoying more of what Wise Villa Winery has to offer.

Smokin' Barrel Winery is hands down one of our favorite places! From the moment you arrive, owners…read moreMitch and Julie go out of their way to make you feel completely at home--and that same warmth carries through the entire staff. Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and genuinely makes you feel like they're happy you're there. One thing that really sets Smokin' Barrel apart from other wineries in the area is the table service. You can sit back, relax, enjoy the beautiful atmosphere, and actually be taken care of instead of constantly getting up to order. It makes the whole experience feel so much more relaxing and personal. They also usually have food trucks and live entertainment, so there's always something fun going on. And of course, the wine is AMAZING! The Cab Franc is my absolute favorite, but you also cannot leave without trying one of their wine slushies--they are to die for! Great wine, great people, great atmosphere, and a place that truly makes you feel welcome. Mitch, Julie, and their staff have created something really special. If you haven't been to Smokin' Barrel yet, you're missing out!

I hadn't ever considered wine with fruit pies, but it actually was quite good, and very tasty. The property is absolutely beautiful, tranquil and very relaxing. There are several areas to just sit, sip and take it all in. Why go all the way to Napa or Sonoma as this is just as good! Plus some of the varietals come from grapes in the Napa Carneros region; especially the delicious Chardonnay and the crisp, fruity and light Pinot Grigio. They are especially known for the rich, hearty Barbera which is a standout. The Owner gave an informative briefing on the establishment and everything was so well organized, friendly and most enjoyable. Many of us left with bottles, I had six, to have later at home. I highly recommend this winery and will return!

Their outdoor tasting room overlooks hilltop views and if you're lucky you might be able to see a train drive on by too. The setup includes adirondack chairs and tables outside. They offer tastings as well as glasses ($10 each) and bottles that range from $27-$30. I tried their 2023 Grenache Blanc, 2023 Malbec Rose, Mix Red Blend, 2021 Barbera & 2019 Primitivo. All the wines tasted great and had a good complexity. Happy Dayz is a family owned winery with a husband and wife duo. They love their craft, which you can tell from their wines and the overall experience they provide. They are only open select weekends so be sure to check their website and social media for those details. In addition to offering great wines a wonderful experience, they give back to a local non-profit in Sacramento called GiGiś Playhouse and donate 21% of all Malbec Rosé sold. This helps support the Down Syndrome community. Cheers to Happy Dayz!

The craftsmanship that goes into the wine really shows, and Tom and Lorrinda make you feel like you're visiting friends rather than just stopping by a tasting room. We absolutely love being members. It's a small, family-run property with a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere where you can sit in the shade, enjoy great wine, and feel right at home. There's something special about the simplicity and personal feel of this place. We recently took a trip to Napa and had a wonderful time, but honestly, why bother driving that far or paying the high prices when this gem is in our backyard? The wine here is every bit worth seeking out. Love that they were chosen as the host winery for the 2026 Gold Country Fair! Great wine, genuine people, and a place we always enjoy coming back to. If you haven't stopped by yet, you should. Highly recommend!

Went to a nearby winery we'd visited before, and had a perfectly nice time and tasting. Wanted to check out one more, and saw PaZa nearby. It's the epitome of husband and wife operation. A cute little gazebo and a number of tables and chairs on a beautiful hill overlooking a small vineyard. Don't expect a Napa castle and 'chic' gift shop. It's perfect for a few friends or chatting w the table next to you. The owner, Zane, was amazing and spent a good hour with us, talking about his wines, the vineyard, and the history of wineries in Placer. But what was unexpected was how good the wines are! Most of the time, at local wineries, you're 'meh'. Good wines, but nothing special. You'll grab a bottle and thats that. But here, I actually REALLY enjoyed each wine we tried. His fermenting process is 'old-school' using huge clay (amphorae) cisterns vs stainless steel, and a variety of other nuances that seemed to really make a difference. I literally ended up buying a bottle of everything we tried (much to the amusement of my wife). This is now my new favorite winery in the area.
