    Tempranillo!!! Loved it!!
    Melody K.

    I had just retuned home from a trip To Spain so I was excited when I saw that Vino de Oro had Spanish wine!!! Husband and wife wine makers from Fair Play, California. Wonderful red, white and rose wine. We were served by the wife who is very charming. She brought us a little cup of crackers to have without wine and also a chocolate truffle to pair with the Elegante wine that both my friend and I fell in love with. I love dark chocolate with red wine and this made the tasting so special. After our tasting, we were given a sample of two of their sangrias. After returning from Spain I was going through Sangria withdrawals! She gave us a sample of the traditional red and then a sample of the LEMON LAVENDER!!! Oh my gosh!! I could see drinking that on a warm evening listening to music at The Old Sugar Mill. Like Spanish Wine?? Go visit Vino de Oro

    Women for WineSense Event. Great time meeting amazing women. What a gorgeous view at the end of the night.

    Best place to wine taste. Many different options in one place. We've grown to love the wineries here. When people love what they do, we naturally want to support them. OSM is welcoming, can be quiet, but also just the right amount of loud. I've been coming here for over 15 years and I will always support them here.

    What a gem ! Beautiful inside and out. Quite a few of wineries inside, so much seating outdoors very spacious. We went on a Monday so only two places were open and pretty quiet ( I did not mind ) got to walk around explore property and have a delicious glass of wine. Very friendly service as well, very personable. This is a great place for events, weddings etc .. check it out !

    I've been to this venue before but I don't recall reviewing it. Old Sugar Mill is a nice place to hang with family/friends for wine tasting. There's about 4+ wineries at the venue. They host events year around and often have live bands playing with food trucks nearby. Today I was there for a yoga event but I wanted to be sure to let others know that this place. It is tucked away but one of Sacramento's hidden secrets.

    Another great event. It's really what you make of it. Free to get in and the wineries charge a nominal fee set at each location for tasting- many will waive the fee if you buy a bottle. Per usual stopped by Todd Taylor (as a member you get extra tastings - love). Went to Country Roads and found a Malbec we bought but TBH all their award winners were great! Their members club looked enticing too! Had the Totchos from Drewskis with pulled pork (no aioli/ onions). There was other options for food this is just what we chose - about 5 other food trucks) The music featured inside was just right too - suave. Keep an eye on Eventbright for other upcoming events! BTW - there are restrooms inside but outside on the patio there are also the "classier" porta potty's. Lots of seating outside and some inside. Parking can be tricky but lots available- be prepared that you might need to walk through the dirt lot or some taller grass, so either leave the super high heels at home or ask to get dropped off at the front by your driver. Great friendly service from the couple wineries we visited and the vendor tables!

    The Old Sugar Mill never disappoints! We were able to try so many different wines from Bump City Wine Co, Rendezvous and sparkling ones from Bonitata. Also purchased tasty chocolate treats from Capitol Confections. Everyone was friendly and jovial. The holiday themed decorations were throughout the building everything was decorated so nicely. Can't wait till the next event. Let me know what you think the next time you're visiting!

    10 elevation
    Jennifer G.

    This place was so awesome. It was a hot day out but we didn't feel it inside. Our first stop was 10 elevation and it was a great experience with great wine. It's an adult Disneyland! The concept is so neat. So many wineries in ONE place. The had food vendors outside. Plenty of seating. Bathrooms available inside. Everyone we talked to was super nice. Wish they had a vending machine of sorts for some chip snacks or something to munch on. Either way I loved it and we will be back.

    Wine Tasting @ Bump City

    Visited Old Sugar Mill with my best friend to end off our self-care Sunday. We enjoyed wine tasting at Bump City (Black-owned) and then went out back to enjoy the weather accompanied by a nice band. There were food trucks out and about, children running around, and grown folks enjoying there time. I definitely plan on being back since the weather is back right!

    The Black History Month at the Old Sugar Mill was fantastic. Plenty of African art to peruse, the band was excellent & great variety of food trucks. We had fun sitting on the lawn, sipping wine from Todd Taylor & Bump City while snacking on sweet plantain chips.

    Blown Glass Pumpkin Festival
    Michele O.

    September 7, 2024 Hand-Blown Glass Pumpkin Patch Event (September 7 & 8, 2024) We made our way to the Old Sugar Mill in Clarksburg specifically for the Hand-Blown Glass Pumpkin Patch. We decided to walk through the building past all the wine tasting rooms and head out to to the "pumpkin patch" first. The pumpkins were displayed on hay bales, and let me say that never have I ever seen so many blown-glass pumpkins! So many choices, all sizes and colors, with prices ranging from $38-800. I chose a small butternut squash shaped beauty, which was $45. One and done for me, but there were a few people with baskets who had selected quite a few to take home. Purchase made, we headed back into the building with the idea of tasting a bit of wine (we're here, so why not, right?). With 14 wineries to choose from, it was a bit overwhelming at first to decide which two (our self-imposed limit) to try. We chose Three Wine Company and Bump City. Friendly service and good wines at both, and we took two bottles of wine home from each. The visit made for a very fun and enjoyable excursion. Well worth the drive out to Clarksburg.

    Checked in for an event held here for Mardi Gras. I came on a Sunday. There was a 2 day event & I stopped in a bit later in the afternoon so it wasn't as busy. Nice place to hang out with friends have a glass or bottle of wine. There's plenty of seating outside. There's several wineries and each have their own tasting pricing.

    Terry K.

    Every developed city has some sort of a "MILL" and Clarksburg is no different. They had a sugar mill. That sugar mill is now a home for wineries and other local specialty merchandise. Here is my story: Tooling around and playing tourist with my friends in the Sacramento area, she suggests we visit the Old Sugar Mill. Evidently there was some Yelp Elite Event at the Old Sugar Mill years back. I'm going to surmise the Event was a hit; such that people remembered this place and the merchants there in. My friends and I go to a couple wineries and one in particular as Elevation Ten Winery. OK, they had a nice patio seating area and a comfortable wine tasting bar inside the Establishment. I got myself a bottle of Elevation Ten's Proprietor's Red Blend which as absolutely delightful to taste. Great place to hang out for the day. In the summers you can sit in their large lawn area and have a picnic or you can peruse your way through the dozen or so wineries or your wedding or your anniversary or your class reunion... Regardless, it is a destination to check out.! #flyforfun #flyforwine

    They are open every day from 11 am to 5 pm. Each winery has their own operating hours, but all wineries are open on the weekend.

    Do we have to make reservations?

    It depends on which wineries you want to visit. Most allow walk ins but you may have to wait if they are busy. Check the website or call the wineries you plan to taste at. But if you don't make any reservations there are plenty of wineries there.… Read more

    Are picnics allowed in the grass area and is there still a group limit ? Are outside food and dogs allowed?

    Dogs and outside food are currently not allowed.

    Wanted to check in on if you're allowing again dogs yet? Can't wait to come back again with our furry friends!

    Only certified Service Animals are allowed per the Old Sugar Mill

    Any chance you'll be allowing dogs again soon?

    Hi-thank you for the question. We will have to wait to see what the guidelines are from the state, and then from Yolo County and evaluate once they tell us what is permissible-I think we are still several weeks away from having all the information.

    What's the party limit for outside sitting? Also, can we take our own snacks (eg. cheese,crackers, cured meats? :)

    Thanks for the question. The current group limit is 6 people. And NO outside food is permitted. Several of our wineries sell charcuterie ingredients and on weekends we always have food truck too.

    Are reservations needed?

    Yes!

    Are you kid and pet friendly?

    Hi! Children are welcome but must stay with their parents during the visit at all times. Currently no dogs are allowed per Yolo County covid Red Tier Guidelines (with the exception of service dogs as defined by the State of California). We are open… Read more

    Does this place serve food?

    Hi! Reservations for wine tastings are required and can be made in advance or in person. Contact info for each of the 14 wineries is on our website oldsugarmill.com. Also currently all wine tastings are conducted outside. Thank you for the question.

    Is it kids-friendly?

    I would think not good for kids. Its mostly wineries and romantic date night type of shops/tasting rooms. Maybe older kids but I don't think they would be allowed in most of the wine tasting rooms, 21+. There isn't really much for kids to do, but I… Read more

The romantic, garden-esque setting is absolutely stunning and was everything we dreamed of for our wedding. From start to finish, working with the Scribner Bend team was such a breeze and truly made wedding planning fun and stress free. When we first booked, Shaye was the wedding facilitator and she was absolutely fantastic to work with. Later, I got to work with Hillary, their new wedding facilitator and she was just as amazing! So attentive, quick to answer questions and always accommodating of any last-minute requests. They really have such a well-oiled team and their amazing list of preferred vendors made the entire process seamless. We were married on a Friday which meant we had the wonderful bonus of hosting our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner at Scribner the night before. It was such a fun, easy experience and set the tone for the big day. Paesanos, their in-house caterer was fantastic (separate review) and they provided us with delicious wood-fired pizzas and two salads for our rehearsal dinner. All of our guests were raving about how good it was!! On our wedding day, we had access to the Bungalow for getting ready and wow!! it is such a beautiful, charming space. My bridesmaids and I loved spending the morning there. It has two make up stations that had great natural lighting and is great for making tiktoks! The guys had the Airstream, which was really unique and fun, though on our 100-degree wedding day it was a bit stuffy since the AC couldn't quite keep up (which is understandable for an Airstream!). Still, it was a cool and memorable space for them to get ready in. I cannot rave about Scribner Bend enough. The grounds are gorgeous, the staff is phenomenal and they truly helped create the most magical and smooth wedding day for us. I'd highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a romantic, beautiful and well-supported place to say I do!!!!

Tucked away in Clarksburg, this woman-owned winery is charming and intimate. The parking lot is small (around 15 cars), but it's conveniently located right off the main road, so it's easy to find. Wine highlights: * 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon (bestseller): rich and layered with ripe strawberry, plum, mocha, and a hint of spice * 2023 Montepulciano (2026 SF Chronicle Gold Winner): light, easy drinking with raspberry, cranberry, and herbal notes * 2023 Durif (my favorite): dark, bold, and complex with blackberry, plum, and a smooth structured finish * 2021 Blanc de Noir sparkling: light, crisp, and bubbly * 2025 Verdejo (new release): fresh, aromatic with peach and citrus Wine flights (any 4) are only $15: great value. They put small stickers to indicate the wine on each tasting glass. Food: Four cheese panini and Reuben panini are solid picks, served with kettle chips or salad. Service: friendly, decent speed Wine club is also very accessible: no membership fee to join, with 3 tiers (4, 6, or 12 bottles), and complimentary tastings for up to 4 guests. Restroom: 2 (two) (all genders): spacious, clean. The atmosphere is what really makes this place stand out: well-manicured grounds with fragrant roses, apricot trees, a charming chicken coop area, and a beautiful open event space with hanging lights. Live music every Saturday and every other Sunday adds to the experience. They also offer private event spaces where you can bring your own food (just purchase their wine), which makes it a great spot for celebrations. Overall, a perfect little weekend escape if you're looking for a relaxed, intimate winery experience. Bonus: they even have a cozy corner dedicated to adoptable cats: each with their own name and personality profile. Currently 3 boys and 1 girl, $150 per cat.

    A Dream Venue for Vendors and Guests!…read more I had the pleasure of being a dessert vendor for a weekend wedding at Lakeview Estates & Winery and I also attended the event as a guest. From both perspectives, I can honestly say this venue is exceptional. As a vendor, I felt incredibly supported. The staff was kind, helpful, and extremely accommodating - offering clear direction, checking in throughout the day, and making sure I had everything I needed to set up and serve with ease. It's rare to work with a venue that treats vendors like valued collaborators, but Lakeview truly did. As a guest, I got to see another level of excellence. The entire event ran seamlessly. Last-minute changes (like additions to bar and food service) were handled quickly and without a hitch. The staff was attentive, well-coordinated, and clearly experienced at handling all the behind-the-scenes details that make a celebration flow beautifully. Special shout-out to Melanie, who was nothing short of phenomenal. Her coordination of extra services and flexibility made the whole day feel effortless for everyone involved. The venue itself is stunning, but it's the people who make it unforgettable.

Every staff member that we met had been Bogle employees for over 10 years at least (a couple over 30!). I think it really says a lot about a company and family when their employees promote and compliment - even when the bosses are not in the room! While we had originally planned just a one-time visit to the Bogle vineyards, we left as Bogle Family Wine Club Members. And look forward to attending many Bogle events (including live music and movie nights), in the upcoming year. Well done and thanks for a great day, Bogle Family!

    I was really looking forward to visiting Bogle Winery since I'd never been before and had heard…read moregreat things. The wine and property are lovely -- unfortunately the welcome at the door felt like an audition for "Most Judgmental Winery Greeter." When we walked in, the woman at the front greeted us with a slow head-to-toe scan before even saying hello. For context, we weren't exactly stumbling in from a river float -- Patagonia, designer black jeans, nice casual wine-country attire. My partner was dressed similarly. Completely normal for a winery visit. Since it was my first time there, I asked where we should go. She informed us -- while continuing the visual inspection -- that upstairs was reserved for more formally dressed guests with reservations. The upstairs area, by the way, was completely empty. She then told us we could "go help ourselves around the corner." The tone was less "welcome to wine country" and more "you appear to be beneath the staircase." Honestly, I've been to plenty of wineries, from casual tasting rooms to higher-end spots, and I've never been greeted with that level of instant judgment. It was oddly hostile for a place that literally sells a beverage meant for relaxing. The ironic part is that after getting past that moment, the rest of the experience was actually nice. The wine was good, the grounds are pretty, and the other staff we interacted with were perfectly pleasant. But that initial interaction? Brutal. If first impressions matter (and they do in hospitality), someone might want to let the front door know that sizing people up like a nightclub bouncer at 1am isn't exactly the warm, welcoming winery vibe most people are hoping for. Great wine. Beautiful place. One spectacularly toxic greeting.

    While attending the recent Pride in the Vines event, my friend was on a mission to find a great…read moresparkling wine. After striking out at a couple of other wineries, we stumbled across Elevation Ten, and we're so glad we did. Antonio and Courtney immediately made us feel welcome. Antonio poured us tastes of their Blanc de Blanc and Rosé to help us decide, and we ended up ordering a bottle of the Blanc de Blanc and one of their Strawberry Lemonade Spritzers. It was crisp, refreshing, and easily our favorite sparkling wine of the day. While we were tasting, Courtney took the time to answer some of my friend's questions about the winemaking process. We never felt rushed, and it was clear they were both passionate about what they do. Great wine is always a plus, but friendly, knowledgeable people make the experience even better. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back to visit Elevation Ten again. If you're a fan of sparkling wine, this winery is absolutely worth a stop.

    We visited here Sunday, February 1st 2026. The day was lovely. It was around 63 degrees. Warm in…read morethe sun, cool in the shade. 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.

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.
