Welcome to California Corks

Discover California's premier wineries! Uncork a world of taste and elegance in the heart of wine country. Plan your perfect vineyard experience now.

Every year, tourists flock to California's wine regions to explore the wineries and savor their exceptional wines. Beyond the vineyards and extensive wine trails, California offers an array of cultural attractions: lush gardens, art museums, seasonal cuisine, artisan foods, natural hot springs, spa treatments, stunning beaches, towering redwood groves, golf courses, and boutique shopping.

With countless options, planning your visit to California's wineries can be overwhelming. There are thousands of wineries and varietals to choose from, with more than 60,000 registered wine labels in the state. Navigating through these choices can be daunting, especially when seeking beyond the grocery store shelves.

During our visits to various wineries and local events, we've discovered many hidden gems that often fly under the radar, even among locals. Emerging wineries are honing their craft, producing remarkable wines from lesser-known regions. Not all winemakers own vineyards or chateaus, yet their creations are equally impressive.

At www.cacorks.com, we strive to share these treasures with you, from the renowned estates to the undiscovered jewels. Join us in exploring California's vibrant wine scene!

Learn about the winemaking history behind Lodi Wines, Santa Cruz wines, Livermore wineries, and more. Napa and Sonoma have attracted the attention of wine enthusiasts from all over the world for years and we are pleased to address the wineries of Napa and Sonoma.  Yet, other wine-producing areas such as Amador County, Calaveras County, Placer County, Monterey, Livermore, Lodi, Shasta Cascade, and boutique wineries are popping up in some of the least likely places you would look. Our goal is to help make it easy to find that perfect bottle or little winery you seek amongst California's wineries.
