If you love wine and you live in Sacramento, then you probably already know about the Grape Escape. This event brings over sixty wineries and forty restaurants to downtown Sacramento. The great thing about the Grape Escape is that it's the event that focuses on the greater Sacramento wine region - Lodi, Amador, El Dorado, Nevada City, Clarksburg - all wine producing regions of the Sierra Foothills and northern Central Valley.

Paso Robles in Sacramento (04-19-20 - 04-20-10)
Distinct indeed. Paso Robles has gone from being a region thought of as producing stock grapes for jug wine and filler grapes for the big Napa wineries into a respected wine region of its own. So much so that Paso moved far ahead of several other "up and coming" wine regions in terms of quality and notoriety. Set in beautiful scenery, the wineries of Paso Robles are as bold and impressive as their wines. It's a bit far from Sacramento for a day trip, but this month the Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance will bring its Grand Tasting Tour to Sacramento - for the very first time! Lots of red wine blends are the trademark, but you'll find plenty of good varietal wines as well.
