There's outside seating but we were indoors for this event. My favorite was the sparkling wine! I love bubbles! I'm not a huge red wine fan (unless it's sangria) however, their Zinfandel changed my mind! It was delicious! Overall, a cute wine bar with a wine for everyone.

I loved the Barbera, my friends liked the cab and bought a bottle to take home. She bought another bottle too but I'm unsure which one. The grounds were great if your considering a wedding venue.

This review is for the venue. This past weekend, I visited the Hanford Ranch Winery for the first…read moretime ever. I was there for a small business holiday shopping fair. I am cutting to the chase, the winery grounds and views are impressive. As I was driving to get here, the rural countryside did not seem particularly scenic with its flat valley landscape. But as I drove up into the winery grounds, I noticed the elevation. Who knew there are rolling hills in the area?!? I did not. Since the winery is on an elevated ground, it has spectacular panoramic views of the valley with the neighboring vineyards and grazing fields. If the views are this gorgeous currently in our mild winter, I can imagine how it would look in the Fall and Spring. The winery grounds include two large Spanish styled outdoor courtyards. Even though the parking lot is gravel packed, the grounds have paved walkways. There are two restroom buildings near each courtyard. The tasting room staff member and the grounds member that I spoke to were friendly and hospitable. They showed an enthusiasm for the winery. If you are looking for an outdoor space for large (crafts fair) or not so large (weddings, parties) events...check them out.

If only I didn't miss the hands on cheese making seminar... *sigh* The event was hosted by the Old Sugar Mill. Tickets were $20.00 online or $25.00 at the door. A commemorative wine glass was given to you at the door. I carried it with me from one winery to another. There were many wineries there and each winery had different bottles of wine for you to try. I even got to taste a wine straight from the barrel. (I was more interested in the cheese and salami platter next to it though.) It was fun experience but I can't seem to acquire the taste for wine. After several pours, I didn't want to drink any more wine. I would've preferred to drink the water that was meant for rinsing the wineglasses instead. Why did I attend this event if I don't like wine? It's because I love CHEESE! Outside the main building there was another building where all the cheese vendors were located. I tasted many gourmet cheeses. My breath was not at its finest, especially after some blue cheese. My favorites included various brie cheeses from Rumiano. I am a bit disappointed that I didn't end up buying any. Should've, would've, could've. There weren't too many bread vendors but that's ok as long as I got my cheese fix! Other miscellaneous vendors were located inside the main building and outside in the grass area. I sampled some chocolate, nuts, and macrons. All of it was very good! Overall, a fun time was had by all!

This was an awesome event, one of the best fairs/festivals (well, related to drinking) I've…read moreattended. This year it was known as the Wine and Cheese Faire...the 'Bread' part was dropped from the title at some point. The pricing for admission was $25 pre-sale and $40 at the door. The pre-sale price is well worth the event...the $40 at the door, not so much. You get a cute Sugar Mill branded wine glass to use for the tastings. (Yes, a real glass. Not plastic.) There were about a dozen wineries offering tastings, about 2-4 free tastings per person. Some wineries offered additional tastings with an additional tasting fee. Unless you're a wine connoisseur, the additional fee is not worth it. You can just get in line again for the free tastings! Yay for large, indistinguishable crowds! There was also a large room dedicated to food, primarily cheese. This was my favorite part...tons of cheese varieties from different makers, cupcakes, scones, olive oils, etc. Most of the wine and cheese offerings took place indoors. In case you didn't know, temperature controlled wine rooms are a good thing on a 90+ degree day. In terms of food, the Culinerdy and Granola Girl trucks were parked out back by the lawn. There was a pop up restaurant (buffet style) put on by Culinerdy. It looked good but we were full from all the cheese. I also attended a half hour 'Wine 101' course. Kind of cool...we got to try more wines and cheeses and learn a bit about them from a rep at a local winery. The one slight disappointment about this event is that there weren't enough wine/cheese pairings. Most vendors either offered just wine or just cheese. You just have to figure it out on your own I guess. But other than that, totally looking forward to next year's event.

They had a special port event too and I have to say tha port was delicious too! Not overly sweet but sweet enough. The members deals looked great.

Instead of driving all the way to Napa and spending a fortune on tastings, we decided to take a detour and take a drive along the river. Old Sugar Mill is familiar to most people in Sacramento as an event destination for wedding receptions. There are also a number of tasting rooms and Rendez-Vous is one of them. The tastings are generous, and they happily accommodate the tastings to your specific preferences. If you're interested in an incredible and affordable experience, this is the place for you.

Inside the Sugar Mill it's really cool, a little too chilly for us. On the other hand I bet this is the perfect place in the sweating Summer heat. They are located in the main Sugar Mill building. They also have a room for you to sit and enjoy your wine with family and friends. If you are looking for a restroom it's located to the left soon as you walk into the Sugar Mill. Parking isn't an issue when we arrived. There were plenty of parking in their private lot. It's a short walk from the parking lot to Rendezvous-vous Winery. If you are seeking more information check out their website. It is packed with so much information. Including a calendar of events. Rendez-vous Winery received Gold Award for the best wine bar and wine selection in Sacramento in 2025 and 2024. In 2016 Viognier, they won Best White Wine (Best of Show) in the entire state of CA at California State Fair Wine Competition in 2016. In 2017, they won best Riesling in the state. Very impressive. They are having a Wine, Port, and Chocolate Event February 14-15 from 11am-5pm. This sounds like a fabulous event. I love chocolate. And my husband loves wine so it's a perfect pairing. We're busy that weekend, but hopefully they will have more events like this. They also have a shop in midtown, which is so much more convenient for me, but lacks the ambiance that the Sugar Mill has. The sugar mill used to be an actual beet sugar mill. They are located in the first slot when you walk in the main entrance of the Sugar Mill. Such a quaint location. I love it.
