Farm-to-fork, glass in hand

California's capital calls itself America's Farm-to-Fork Capital, and its food scene draws on the rich farmland that surrounds the city. Urban wineries and tasting rooms add to the mix, while rural wineries in the south county sit close to the Lodi and Clarksburg regions.

Use Sacramento as a base to explore several wine regions within an easy drive, from the Delta to the Sierra foothills, returning each evening to the city's restaurants.

Getting there: Interstate 5, Interstate 80 and Highway 50; Sacramento International Airport
