A lively but relaxing afternoon is in store for guests, with a delicious barbecue lunch, live music from local bands and wine tasting at the beautiful Old Sugar Mill. The Old Sugar Mill is home to a unique community of six California wineries and their signature wines: Todd Taylor Wines, Three Wine Company, Heringer Estates, Elevation Ten, Rendez-vous Winery, Merlo Family Vineyards, Clarksburg Wine Company, and the Carvalho Family Wines. The wineries at the Old Sugar Mill, in Clarksburg, California (eight minutes south of Sacramento), are a bridge to the rich agricultural heritage of the region, whose vineyards are staking their claim alongside the great wine growing regions of the world.
