Overview
McConnell Estates is located on land that has been farmed for five generations by two of Elk Grove’s founding families—the McConnells and the Wackmans.
The 150-year old family homestead was renovated into a boutique winery complete with a tasting room and wine cellar.
Our vineyards and winery are part of the Lodi Region, and we have a wonderful selection of estate-grown and produced wines from varietals grown in their vineyards that are adjacent to their winery and tasting room.
Tasting Fee: $15 waived with purchase of a bottle

I recently went to one of their Summer Concert Series with a few friends. It was my first time here, and I’m definitely coming back! The venue is beautiful, right off the freeway in Elk Grove. There’s plenty of shade, so it’s super comfortable even in the summer heat. The concert series is amazing. They have a variety of music, food trucks, boutique shopping, and even ice cream! They didn’t skimp on any details here; even their bathrooms are aesthetically pleasing and clean! You can bring your own food and non-alcoholic beverages to the concert. Since it was my first time, we brought some food and chairs, but we noticed people even brought coolers and tables. Next time, I’ll be more prepared! The sparkling rose was amazing, and their special sangria was to die for! Despite living an hour away, they’ve definitely found a returning customer in me!
We thought it was pretty good. Beautiful grounds and some good wines. Thought the Barbera was their best. I believe they’re known for their reds and unfortunately our tasting was white heavy. The whites were very average in my humble opinion.
Great!! But heads up that for concerts everyone brings a tall camping chair anyways even if the instructions say to bring a low, beach-type chair.
decent wine best is the medium body Cabernet and med-full body Zinfandel a little on the sweet side. 🍷
Art is great and the setting is unique! And, of course, the wines are exceptional!! Unfortunately the tasting charge has gone up as happens everywhere but, of course, waived as we bought several bottles. Also wine club is quarterly and no choice of wines if on the 3 bottle plan. Really like other clubs that let you choose...
