Bogle Vineyards

Bogle Winery is tucked into the Sacramento Delta among 1,200 acres of vineyard land and sits along side of Elk Slough in Clarksburg, California. Our tasting room, which overlooks the Bogle Home Ranch, is the perfect setting for a quick get away from either the Sacramento Area or the Bay Area. The lush lawn area, nestled between the tasting room deck and the vineyards, makes for the perfect picnicking spot.

Carmel Road Winery

Where vines meet ocean winds, where foothills meet the valley, and where a tranquil state of mind intersects with artisan style, lies Carmel Road Winery.

Situated inland from Monterey’s rugged coastline, yet still influenced by the ocean’s relentless presence, Carmel Road Winery crafts vibrant Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Sauvignon Blanc that capture the essence of this unique region and California's coastal vineyards.

Drawn to the area two decades ago by the combination of cool, foggy nights and warm, sunny days that perfect the ripening of fruit, Carmel Road Winery has embraced what was once considered too cool for vineyards. Today, Monterey is recognized as one of California's premier growing regions. The winery's sustainably farmed vineyards span across windswept benchlands, where the maritime climate and well-drained, alluvial gravel soils yield highly expressive wines. Carmel Road's inaugural vintage was released in 1999.

A back road stretches from the town of Carmel by the Sea, passing through the Arroyo Seco and scenic gaps in the Santa Lucia hills, linking the inland growing region to the ocean. This winding trail inspired the winery’s name, Carmel Road.

Palmaz Vineyards

Palmaz is one winery that you absolutely MUST visit! This family owned and operated winery will blow you away. The high tech gravity flow processes, extreme commitment to quality, and overall tasting experience are all top notch. My experience with Florencia was amazing, compared to other tours and tastings at the same price point, $60/person with small bite pairings, I would recommend Palmaz over many others. The wines were delicious and the perfect pick for a special occasion. This tour is perfect for wine enthusiasts at all levels, the family is approachable and open to discussing any questions you have about the winery and wine making processes.

Since 1922 the Bartolucci Family has consistently created a perfect marriage of grapes and wine at Madonna Estate. Located in the world-renowned Carneros region, an area known for its fertile lands and cool climate, the Bartolucci family has found success with their organically grown grapes and Estate Bottled wines. In addition to practicing natural farming methods, they also combine traditional and modern winemaking techniques. As the third oldest winemaking family in the Napa Valley, it is important to them that they continue the commitment to farm naturally and preserve the winemaking traditions of past generations.
