They have a large grass area where you can bring your picnic blanket or lawn chairs and relax while you enjoy their live performances. They have a variety of food and wine choices to select from. The wine slushy was perfect for the warm day! I really enjoyed the pizza as well. Unfortunately we were a large group and I didn't get a chance for food/drink pictures so you'll just have to see for yourself! Looking forward to warm weather and more afternoons in the sun here.

The lineup included a great variety of complex, smooth and full-bodied reds along with light, vibrant, and citrusy whites. I especially loved how they showcased their family pride in their red blends, particularly the stellar Winemaker's Blend. It's such a versatile wine, and I can't wait to serve it at dinner parties or give it as a gift!

It has not been chosen for you. But wait you can actually choose your wine but it is not time yet" . I do remember i have been picking up my monthly even if ita not due yet as long as it is the same month. I left the place and called them within 3 min to cancel me membership. Talking to a man , he dos not even ask me " is there a reason" or maybe he can offer how can the situation be better. Nope! None. Even gave me the beat reason without regret to cancel. I was a bit dissatisfied because i like the place. But them my husband said " dont worry there are many more winery around". I responded in delay... " ypu are right ". Juat sad i feel like they dont care

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 ...

I came here for their dueling piano event and was pleasantly surprised by how beautiful the…read moreproperty is. The vineyard is very well maintained, with manicured grounds and a scenic lake. They even offer boating and paddleboarding, which adds a fun, active touch to the experience. Parking: Free with a decent number of spots for around 100 guests, but it could feel congested for larger events. There's only one way to in and out, so plan accordingly. Also, the road leading to the vineyard is quite dark at night: some areas have little to no lighting, so make sure your headlights are working well, especially since it's a bit of a drive from the main street. Drinks: Some of their popular options include: * Peach Mango Sparkling (11%, Lodi) * Zinfandel 2024 (15.6%, Lodi) * Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2019 (14%, Lodi) * Pomegranate Sparkling (11%, Lodi) They offer picnic snack trays, and for events, they bring in food trucks, which is a nice touch. Service: Friendly and efficient. One downside was staffing and restroom access. It seemed like they were a bit understaffed, and only 2 restrooms were open while others were locked. For an event with around 100 people, this led to long lines, especially in the cold. The event itself was held in a white outdoor tent by the lake, which created a great atmosphere. However, the path to the tent is all gravel with no defined walkway, something to keep in mind if you're wearing heels or thin sandals. Overall, it's a lovely venue with a unique setting, great for small weddings or intimate gatherings.

Shoutout to the West Sacramento/ Clarksburg area…read more... The Old Sugar Mill in Clarksburg is a historic beet sugar refinery from 1934-1993 that has wine shops and tasting rooms for local wineries. They have over a dozen wineries. Wine tastings average $15 and most wineries waive the fee if you buy a bottle. They have wine shops in the main building and in the other building. Don't forget to walk back and to the right to the shops in the separate back building, there is 3-4 more wineries. Each winery are literal walled shops with their own seating areas. Temperature controlled which is nice on hot summer days. Each have their own wine tasting, food offerings, and special events. Old Sugar Mill is less than 15 minute drive from downtown Sacramento. The buildings are beautiful. They kept the historic brick walls and exterior. It has a modern shabby chic look. Three different brands owned the refinery. It all began in 1934 with Amalgamated, American Crystal Sugar Factory (1936-1982), and Delta Sugar (1983-1993). The sugar was refined by local Northern Californian grown beets. The buildings was renovated in 2000 for its current use. Awesome concept and beautiful architecture design. They also host weddings and events. They have a banquet room with slideshow equipment. There is also an outdoor lawn and adjoining paved patio area that is shaded in the afternoon by the buildings that would make for a gorgeous wedding venue. On hot summer days, the Delta breeze kicks in for instant cool down. No outside food are picnics are allowed. On the weekends, they have food trucks. Plus the majority of the wineries sell food (appetizers) as well. Also no pets are allowed (excluding service animals). The restrooms are located right by the front entrance.

Wow!!! What a place. Sunday, February 1st, 2026 was our first visit. We've heard of the Old Sugar…read moreMill for years, but never visited. They have many events here, including private events and wedding. The upcoming event is Port and Chocolate for Valentine's Day. That sounds so delicious. I loved chocolate and my husband is always up to trying another port. Parking- They have a private lot and we were able to easily find a parking spot right in-front of the entrance. Bathrooms- They have many stalls in the bathroom located to the left of the entrance. Temperature- It's cool inside, a little too cool for us today. It was 63 degrees out today and warm in the sun. I bet in the sweltering heat of our summers this is the perfect place to be. The Sugar Mill is an indoor venue. They have three different building with different wineries at this time. So, there is a little walking outside. Wine Barrels- You can buy half wine barrels for your garden for sale. Seating- They have lots of little seating areas. Inside they have a whole room with seating and nice decor. The tables are draped in white table cloths and there are stacks of wine barrels as the back drop. They have a palm court in the back and it's so quaint and beautiful. Perfect for sipping some wine slowly and chit chatting with friends. If you are looking to sit in the sun there is are a set of tables and chairs out back near the food truck. Ambiance- I love the location and building. It's an old Sugar Mill that produced sugar from sugar beets. That industry has now ended and it's now a place to visit many wineries. It's the only place that I know of that have numerous wineries and offer wine tasing for a minimum fee.
