Touring The Wineries Of Sacramento

If you visit California, you should think about making a stop and take a tour in Sacramento to see their famous wineries. Between the weather and scenery, the wine, and chance to even take a limo, Sacramento wine tours are an unforgettable experience. No matter where you are in the area, seeing the country and tasting vintage wines is always enjoyable.

Sacramento is centrally located amongst some of the best wineries in the country and, with the sun shining almost all year, is a great place to grow grapes and for you to start a tasting journey. You can explore California’s six varieties of wine: white, red, fortified, non-varietal and blended wine, and all the individual wines found in-between these types.

About thirty different wineries can be found in Amador, an area known for its Zinfandel, but that also produces Syrahs, Chenin Blancs and Barberas in wineries typically near mid-town Sacramento. One winery, Montevina, makes particularly good Zins and Chanin Blane. Red wines, about 40 wineries and around 25 varieties of grapes, can be found in El Dorado.

If you’re looking for one individual winery to stop at, consider Jodar, one of the best wineries in Sacramento, and widely considered to be a place every wine lover should visit. It’s popular for its red wines, but its whites are always worth the stop as well. But don’t limit yourself unless you have to, because the best wines are plentiful in Napa Valley and Somona.

When you think of wine, chances are one of the first areas that comes to mind is Napa Valley and its wineries. The three most popular wineries there are the Frank Family, Caymus and Chandon, all worth a visit. Somona is almost as famous a wine area with its own premier wineries. It is known for the Carneros and the Alexander Valley.

Limos give you an upscale experience, and aren’t as expensive as many might think. They are comfortable and popular whatever your budget, not to mention the safety that comes with having somebody else drive you around after you’ve been sampling more than a few variety of wines. Check with your driver to see if he can plan a tour for you and save the hassle.

To cut the cost of your luxury tour ride, look for more affordable types of limos and try to reduce the number of miles you will travel, as well as time spent on the road. However, you should make this part of your wine tasting plans, if at all possible. The stylish ride will make you feel as famous as the wines you are tasting, and make the trip a once in a lifetime affair.
