It was our first time checking out the Placer Wine Trail after visiting Auburn and Cool several times, and we're so glad we stopped here.

The wine was delicious, and the service was friendly and welcoming. After our tasting, we grabbed a bottle and headed out to the pond, where we sat by the dock and just relaxed.

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.

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.

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!

I loved that it was a smaller winery on an organic farm with gorgeous views and excellent service. It is a short 5 min walk up a gravel/dirt road from the small parking area to the tasting area so ladies may want to avoid heels (our sandals were just fine). The couple that owns the winery were so personable, loved that he brought out each of the tastings and chatted with us about the wine & farm origins, while his wife made the biscotti & gave us all samples to try - yum! The tasting was so reasonably priced and I couldn't believe a personal charcuterie board was included too. Of course, the wine was all very good and we purchased some bottles to take home. I only wished we could have stayed longer than the two hour time limit (based on space).

I felt that the staff was incredibly nice and friendly- they were attentive and informative. The tasting offered reds and whites- the list changes with current events- which is fun and good to know. The last taste we tried was suggested to pair with a piece of chocolate- the staff provided a candy- the experience was a lot of fun and different. That experience was delicious and we ended up coming home with that bottle. It was definitely our favorite. That bottles were seemingly common in price- ranging around $40 to $60.00. They do offer a wine club opportunity for monthly wine pick ups. I think it's important to support all businesses -especially smaller.
