A wine-tasting guide spotlighting Yolo County’s low-key wine scene just west of Sacramento: easygoing tasting rooms, vineyard views, and standout pours from producers like Turkovich (Winters) and Matchbook (Zamora), with UC Davis roots and Hwy 128 tying it into NorCal wine country—flavorful and friendly, without the fuss.

Plan a NorCal escape to Winters: sip at Berryessa Gap & Turkovich, float with Yolo Ballooning, tour Park Winters, taste at Patio 29, and refuel at Putah Creek Café or Buckhorn Steakhouse.
