Happy Dayz Vineyard is an absolute Gem in Placer County! This winery is the perfect blend of a relaxing and beautiful location paired with delectable wines. 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! read more

My favorite stop in Placer County! This winery is just right with a mix of being: family owned with a personal touch that make you feel like a part of the family there! It is also the perfect place to take friends and family members because there is so much open seating, where you could look out on the winery as the train goes past or sit in some adirondack chairs playing cards. Additionally, if you are into wine but have not found your spot yet, I recommend doing the Placer County Wine Trail in the area! read more

Happy Dayz Vineyard - Beautiful view at Happy Dayz. - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Penryn, California

So this was a first time for my other half and I to explore a different vineyard outside of what we're used too. About 20 minutes northeast of Sacramento, into the hills of the gold country also known as placer county is a little historic town called Penryn. Here you'll find some of the buildings dated as far back as the 1870's, and as you travel through the town and just a little off the beaten path you'll find Happy Dayz Vineyard. Once you enter the property through the gate, you're greeted with beautiful, well kept mandarin trees that go along the the driveway that lead you to a beautiful pre historic home that leaves you a stunning view of the Sacramento valley. But the what caught my attention was not only was this a small, family own business but, they're the only winery I know that have an Adopt - a - Vine event. With this, you get the full on experience of actually harvesting the grapes that are grown on the vine and do the whole foot crushing of the grapes so on and so forth, it was also our first time meeting the owners Jacque and Rick Kennedy and by far some of the nicest people I've ever met! Both were very down to earth and were awesome at explaining the entire process from vine to bottle. Everything is onsite is grown, harvested, and even bottled! I found this as therapeutic but also a excited task for me. I will say, Rick... doing this, will definitely make you appreciate when your glass is being poured! So you find yourself looking for something to do but don't want to be swamped with the hustle and bustle of the traffic and city slickers, then this place is for you! read more

Delightful setting. Great people. Wine is excellent. It's nice to have such a cool local spot.

A great find! We wanted to venture and find a new winery, happy that we found this one. Highly recommend making it a picnic, they have lots of tables to enjoy the food, wine, and views. They do not require reservations so you can walk in and find a spot to taste. The wine itself was nice and a good price point. I love how it's still a family owned and operated business, generations of work paying off! I will defintely be back. read more

when it comes to foothill wineries, Happy dayz vineyard is one you will not want to pass up. Having some of the best wines, I've tasted in Northern California. Pristine grounds and exquisite tasting room, with beautiful views of the Sacramento valley and beyond. The owners were extremely hospitable and very knowledgeable about wines. I could not turn down the opportunity of being a wine club member. Looking forward to tasting many more wines. read more

Went to Happy Dayz Vineyard Saturday with friends. We brought a picnic lunch and purchased wine there. What a hidden gem! Employees were great, views were wonderful and wine was fantastic!! We will be back! read more

Rick and Jacque are two of the nicest people you can meet and they are making great wines. The property has been in their family for years, and is absolutely stunning. enjoy their grassy outdoor space with a panoramic view of the valley and downtown Sacramento in the distance. Try all their wines, but we especially love their Chardonnay, Malbec, and Barbera. You can bring a charcuterie or a picnic to enjoy, and purchase mandarins when they are in season Nov. - Jan. Everything is priced right, and they are family friendly. Absolutely amazing place! read more

Happy Dayz is such a gem- it has it all! The wine is excellent and the owners are incredible! There is a great variety of both white and red wines. Rick and Jacque are so knowledge about their wines and always take the time to talk about the winemaking process. The views are next to none. Sitting outside, looking out at the valley, with a glass of my favorite wine, with great friends is such a wonderful experience. The winerey is also a part of a Mandarain orchard. It's fun to see (and read) about the history of the orchard. It is also family friendly, so we love being able to taste just adults or bring the kids too! I highly recommend checking this winery out! read more

Great views, great people and they treat you like family. They do a great job and look forward to mandarin season.
