Go For It magazine immediately
caught my eye in a restaurant prompting me to read it and study the
advertisements. My take is that this is a great publication for
informing people about ways to get out into the world for exploring
and having fun, which includes wine tasting all throughout the
Sacramento region.
Tasting
wines at wineries in several wine regions within the Sacramento
region is an adventurous way to find intriguing, fun, picturesque
settings perfect for dates and family picnics. With Fair Oaks as an
epicenter, there are over 100 wineries within a radius of 50 miles
with wine tasting rooms, most open from 11:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. You are
in the wine capital of the world!
Many
tasting rooms charge customers about $5 for each person wine tasting.
SipCalifornia.com markets Wine Tasting Cards via e-commerce, and
retail sales for $35 wherein the tasting room waives the wine tasting
fee at the many participating wineries. Each Sip California Wine
Tasting Card affords the cardholder complimentary tasting for two at
wine tasting rooms through December 31, 2013, on a repeat-usage
basis. There are wine tasting rooms all throughout the Lodi Wine
Region (at least 20 locations), and the Sacramento Valley / Sierra
Foothills Wine Regions (at least 25 locations) honoring the Sip
California Wine Tasting cards. Sip California markets two distinct
cards, one for the Lodi Wine Region, and one for the Sacramento
Valley / Sierra Foothills Wine Region.
It’s
a misnomer that the world class winery founded decades ago by wine
icon Robert Mondavi, Woodbridgeby Robert Mondavi,
is located in the Napa wine
region[/
]. The tasting room often gets calls from people wanting to visit,
but say they are in Napa and cannot find it. That’s because
Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi is near the town of Woodbridge which is
adjacent to and northwest of Lodi, California. While watching HGTV
(Home & Garden) on television which is broadcast to millions of
viewers globally, I smile when I see the advertisements for
Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi wine knowing its world class, and just a
miles from us to visit, enjoy, and buy the wine right from the
vintner. Here you will experience a world-class winery founded
decades ago by Robert Mondavi. This destination is particularly
wonderful because you can wine taste, buy wine, and picnic amid a
quiet, tranquil setting, plus take a one-hour long fascinating tour
of the whole wine-making operation every day of the year except
Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s day. The
tour groups gather each day at the Tasting Room are at 9:20 a.m. and
again at 1:20 p.m. Larry Pilmaier, the Tasting Room Manager, informs
that during the middle of the week those touring also get the added
bonus of seeing the full bottling operation which does not operate on
weekends.
Very
near Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi winery, there are four other
tasting rooms as well for creating a wonderful day trip. They are
The
Dancing Coyote,
Woodbridge
Uncorked,
Cycles
Gladiator,
and m2
Wines.
The quaint town of Woodbridge offers several options for lunch and
dinner dining.
Enjoy
going for it!
