What a hidden gem! We came on a Saturday and luckily there were plenty available seats outside. There is also a standing area in the nicely air-conditioned barn where the wine tasting happens! So you have options! The service was top notch! We got the flight of white wines and she let us sample the on tap wine and it was delicious!!!! We had to buy it! She was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. We really enjoyed our time there. We ended up buying a couple bottles as well. I only wish they had more sparkling wines as they only had one (and not available for tasting). But otherwise I will definitely be back!!!!!
Headline: Another great EG winery! Location: Located off Bradshaw across the road from a Montessori School is this lowkey Winery. It can be easy to miss but don't let that fool you behind the big barn is a great winery. The winery itself housed inside the same room which they house the winery. They have seating both inside and on the back side of the winery. Service: Whether here for an event or just wine tasting, the staff has always been great and friendly. Christopher likes to hosts events and that's often my experience with this place Wine/Food: While this place doesn't do food itself, they have food trucks quite often. They have had various events here for musicians, yelp, and other events which have a tendency to have some sort of food option. Regarding the wine, they have a wide set of varietals for those groups that have a wide variety of tastes. Also during the summer they have wine slushies as well as mocktails. Definitely worth checking out to if you are into a wide variety of wines or if they are hosting a local event!
Christopher Cellars has such an intimate, charming vineyard setting that feels perfect to visit in any season. Whether it's a warm summer evening or a cozy fall afternoon, the atmosphere is relaxed, scenic, and welcoming. It's the kind of place where you can truly unwind and enjoy great wine in a beautiful outdoor space. They also host live music on select evenings, which adds such a fun and lively touch to the experience. It makes each visit feel special and a little different every time. I can't wait to return again soon!
I originally found this place through an event. Really loved it and been back multiple times ever since. Not only do they have really good wines, definitely do not sleep on the wine slushies! The place is beautiful, and the service is amazing always friendly always above and beyond~ Their wine slushy flavors do rotate seasonally so you can always expect something new to try! During the previous season, they had a strawberry mango wine slushy that's absolutely delicious. And a sun bum white wine slushie that is perfect for summer. Now that the weather is getting slightly cooler, the new seasonal flavor cranberry orange wine slushy is my new favorite. Since I've been back multiple times, I've had the opportunity to try a few different ways. During my first return, I tried the wine flight which is beautifully arranged and nicely organized so you know what you're tasting. From my other returning visits, I got the melange balance and Sangiovese. Both are delicious. Typically on Fridays, there are food trucks at the winery so you can buy a snack with your drink. On Saturday and Sundays, you can purchase their delicious dips and chips by Boulevard bistro. I especially like the tomato ricotta one. The winery is really beautiful and when the weather is not too hot, it's so nice to sit outside with a view. During hotter times I was able to sit inside where there's AC. I like visiting when it's not too busy so I can take my time sip on a delicious glass and do some light reading. This is a perfect place to take it slow and enjoy life~ I look forward to more visits to come~
Totally recommend Christopher Cellars. The patio view are wonderful for a day with the girls or evening out with spouse. I highly encourage you to visit during one of their hosted events as there may be food vendors available, a cigar night and live music! Come out, support the place and I would try their Sauvignon Blanc; it's my favorite bright tasting white wine they offer. Oh, the staff are super knowledgeable and helpful, too! FYI Their bottles come with wine pairing option labels on the bottle.
This place is wonderful! I loved all the wine optons-- there was something for everyone's preferences. They gave me plenty of tastings. The food was amazing! The little crackers and dips were addicting. The poke tostada things from the food truck were surprisingly tasty for someone who doesn't like fish. The music, vibes, and atmosphere were perfect. It was nice and cool in the cellar, and they had yummy wine slushies. The vocalist/guitar player was superb-- a very talented man. This was one of my first Yelp events and everyone was so friendly and social. Definitely coming back in the near future.
This place is a hidden gem! Came here for my first Yelp Elite event and I was so glad this was my first time. The winery hosted their wines and other wine brands (Heleje and Perlegos) and had areas set up for tastings. The inside of their winery was quaint and we were able to sample wines inside the barrels which was a very cool experience to learn about the process. Also, their wines were really good especially their Picpoul Blanc. The service was great too! They were kind, helpful and checked in to make sure we were taken care of. The entire experience was so fun. We enjoyed good music, great food from West Taco Truck and Boulevard Bistro and great wine with fellow yelpers. Can't wait to visit this place again!
We came here on a Friday afternoon around 4pm. It wasn't that busy, but there was live music about to start. There's plenty of outdoor seating and small amount of seats inside. The wines were mostly fruity but just bland. There wasn't complexity. The tasting fee was $10 for 5 wines. There were annoying fruit flies flying around the tasting room. Looks dog friendly. Sparkling Barbera- ok Chardonnay- not typical taste, fruity Zinfandel Cuvee- fruity, bland Nebbiolo- fruity , bland Cab- Fruity but bland
What a fun night at live comedy night! They had the patio set up perfectly with lights, seating, and dining under the stars. Guests could order delicious LA OG sausages, and the food and wine made the evening even better. It was such a fun, family-friendly atmosphere with lots of laughs and great energy all around.
If you have read any of my past reviews, you have probably gathered that my wife and I love to go wine tasting. Ironically, we have never closed out the new year wine tasting; therefore, we thought it would be cool if we enjoyed some tastings on New Year's Eve. After speaking with a friendly employee who confirmed that they were open and strongly encouraged us to stop by, we embarked on the 12 minute drive from our home. Upon entering we were warmly greeted by an employee named Sharon, who welcomed, seated, and provided us with the tasting menu. Even though the winery was moderately busy, Sharon did a great job of working the room and ensuring that she perfectly timed the next pour as we finished off the previous offering (without making us feel rushed). With each tasting Sharon gave a brief backstory and noted what would pair best with the offering. As the tasting concluded, my wife and I elected to purchase a bottle of the delicious 2022 Sangiovese. If you're looking for an informative + pleasant wine tasting experience, I recommend checking out Christopher Cellars!
Love this place. We have been members for 2 years now. Great Friday night hang out and unwind to start the weekend. Loved the Thursday night dinner series last summer. Sangiovese is dope! Love their Rose.

We attended a wonderful Yelp Elite event, it was AMAZING. But thats another story on its own... On to my thoughts of the Cellar.. just know my experience may not be the same as yours, this was a wine tasting / food pairing event... That being said, the Wines here are excellent . This Wine Cellar property is impressive, I was not able to do a walk around all the way but where its at , is in the back! Atleast this event.. The back area, has seating, tables and beautiful view, looking into the Vineyards, and if you come during sunset, it can be a very romantic date, or just friends, Im not judging.. lol... We had an amazing sunset, the pictures didnt do it justice. For most of our little adventure stayed in the back, had a few food booths all very good food, I loved the barn and the atmosphere around, it felt rustic with a splash of greenery since its every where, just beautiful, everything was just prefect.. And I forgot the staff, super friendly, very knowledgeable with there history of the Cellar, and the wines themselves. The Wine tastings were special, each one.. they paired with with a thin Artisan Pizza, or a popcorn, flavored of course, the pizza samples were amazing, and then bought a small pizza, very yummy. .. The wine bottles them selves are Elegant in any light, I loved the wines we got to taste, and well , Ok, so we might have skipped taste 4 and 6 and jumped in line at the WineBar, for a glass of one of the whites we enjoyed earlier in the evening.. I recommend Christopher Cellars to anyone in the area, or out of the area, looking for a nice weekend getaway, Elk grove is starting to look really good... And I love all the family owned businesses ... read more
This is a family-owned boutique winery right in the heart of Elk Grove. I really like the location: it gives you a similar Lodi/Galt winery vibe without the long drive. The cellar sits right off the main street, so there's no extended scenic road leading in like some other wineries. Parking: Available within the complex, with overflow at the Montessori school across the street, plus street parking. The 5-acre vineyard isn't large enough to fully support their production, and according to staff, they source grapes from Lodi wineries. The space is great for small to medium-sized events: perfect for intimate weddings or gatherings. There's a live music area and a rustic barn that makes for nice photo ops. They've been voted "Best Wine Tasting in Elk Grove" and have also won awards at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. They also offer three membership tiers: 3, 6, or 12 bottles per shipment, starting at $75. Their best-selling (members-only) wine is the Picpoul Blanc, which apparently sells out immediately upon release. One thing that stands out is the detailed labeling on their bottles: they include aging time in the cellar, suggested expiration year, and pairing recommendations. It's very beginner-friendly and helpful. Another unique touch is their Zinfandel ("Zoofandel"), featuring a tiger on the label: a nod to the (now-canceled) plan to relocate the Sacramento Zoo to Elk Grove, which was officially scrapped in April 2025 due to rising construction costs. Downside: The restrooms (2 total) could use improvement. They feel outdated; one was out of soap, and the other doubles as a shower room and had an unpleasant odor, as if it wasn't cleaned thoroughly. Overall, this is a solid choice if you're looking for a convenient, local wine tasting experience without having to travel far. read more

We attended a lovely event at CC which included wine tasting and food pairings, featuring several local food vendors. Staff was friendly and welcoming, sharing information about the venue and the offerings. Live music made the evening fun and relaxing. The excellent wine is worth the trip anytime! read more

A nice winery with an excellent sparkling wine. Today they had live jazz to go with the beautiful sunshine underneath the oak trees. #TravelsWithDucky read more
Cool spot we will have to check out a bit more. We got 2 flights to share between 3 of us. There was live music on the Sunday we went, but only caught the tail end of it. Closed a bit early at 6pm Sunday, so wish they opened a bit later. read more

Stopped by on a cloudy but rain free Saturday afternoon after a friend had posted they had been on Friday. After parking in the gravel driveway, we walked into the spacious tasting room and were offered to take a seat inside or outside. As it was warmer outside, we decided to enjoy the outdoors. Our super attentive host, Mike, quickly started the tastings explaining what each wine pairs well with, where the grapes are grown, as well as details on the wine and label. He even had us try two wines that were not on the tasting menu. It was so difficult on what to select to purchase. However, we went with the crisp and refreshing Muscat. As the wine is amazing, the service is outstanding, and they have events every Friday, March through October. we will definitely be back. Even better, no drive to Napa or even Lodi it's a 10 minute stress free drive from my house in Elk Grove ! read more

Me and my husband have been here twice with our pup! There's an outside and indoor seating area! Service is great every time. I love that there's AC blasting indoors for us too! We love their wine slushies!! Clean indoor space with lots of seating! Dog friendly too (even indoors thank you!!!) highly recommend this spot! read more
Wow loved this winery... we were going to listen to some live music by Sunset River band and drink some delicious Christopher Cellar wines. The service was very outstanding. The pourers knew a lot about the wines being sold, very friendly and courteous. I would highly recommend this winery if you're in the Elk Grove area. They do have food trucks, but also you can bring in a picnic, kids and the dog... I will definitely be back. The Chardonnay was outstanding... they offer a wine club and who wouldn't join with a 5 star rating... read more

First time going to this winery and had a great experience. The owners were really friendly and helpful with the wine selection. They happened to have a jazz band playing which added to the ambiance. The only downside I would say is that the food truck had already left by the time we got there at 5 and there were no snacks to purchase. Will definitely go again. read more
