The Placer County Wine Trail is a series of small family-run boutique wineries each dedicated to preserving the historic winemaking legacy of the California Sierra Foothills with passion and craftsmanship.
Just a short 30 minute drive from Sacramento, the trail runs from Lincoln to Newcastle and Auburn and is easily accessible from I-80 and Highway 49.
Varietals include the highly floral Viognier to dark-berried Tempranillo and lush Barbera as just some of the samplings. Other award winning wines include smoky and spiced Syrahs, Petite Sirah and adventurous blends. Cabernet Franc and flavor intense Zinfandel and dessert wine offerings provide plentiful options for every taste and occasion.
Located midway between San Francisco and Lake Tahoe, many flock here for a pleasure not found in other appellations ' the chance to meet the winemakers. They gladly share their enthusiasm with a sample of their finest.
