We’re excited to transport our excursion guests from the bustle of downtown Sacramento to the bucolic scenery of Clarksburg wine country, only 20 minutes south of the Hyatt Regency Hotel. Here, Sacramento’s regional focus on Farm to Fork takes shape with Grape to Glass for a full ‘Farm to Table’ experience. Traveling along rural roads with a narrated excursion, you will discover beautiful landscapes, quaint wineries and tasting rooms in Clarksburg, “the gem of the Delta”home to some of California’s premiere wine grapes.

At our first stop, Wilson Vineyards, you’ll meet a family who has been farming for four generations. They are committed to producing the highest quality fruit for all grape varietals because they know that premium fruit is essential to great wines.  Our next visit will be the modern wine production facilities of Clarksburg Wine Company, located at the Old Sugar Mill, a historic 1934 property rich in stories as a sugar beet processing plant turned cooperative wine ‘residence’ for eleven diverse wineries and tasting rooms. Here we will meet other vintners and winemakers in a program designed to engage the senses. Throughout the Farm to Table experience, enjoy one-on-one conversations with our winemaker hosts, discover unexpected food and wine pairings and learn about this historic region from vintners such as Steve Heringer, Sr., one of Clarksburg’s original pioneers whose highly acclaimed family vineyard produces 24 different wine grape varietals. Nibbles will be served along the way, and for lunch, an innovative menu will highlight seasonal favorites paired with the award winning wines of Clarksburg Wine Company, Due Vigne,Elevation Ten and Three Wine Company; varietals are sourced from Clarksburg, El Dorado, Amador, Napa, Sonoma and more. The Clarksburg region is the perfect setting for consistent, quality wine grape growing and our IFBC guests will return to the hotel sated with the best wines and experience of the Delta.

Not registered for the excursion? Don't worry! The same wineries above will be pouring at The Taste of Sacramento Culinary Fair on Friday!
