I stumbled upon Rendez-Vous Winery at The Shop in Midtown Sacramento and I'm already planning my next visit! The entire space has this unpretentious, laid-back vibe with cozy outdoor seating, big shade sails, and beautiful barrels of flowers. It feels like a neighborhood hangout for wine~O's.
The wine flight I tried--called The Carpool--was thoughtfully curated and took me on a mini journey through fruity, floral, jammy, and rich notes. Al provided excellent customer service and swapped the rosé for the Chardonnay. I am not usually a fan of Chardonnay, but this one was fantastic with. The real Standouts for me were the Temptress and Delta Banks blends. You can tell the wines are made with intention, and it's refreshing to have such great local options in a casual setting. I can't wait to return and to try the wine slushy and I'm really looking forward to a taste of the Brut sparkling wine --I love me some bubbles.
Inside, the decor adds charm--vintage touches, a cool bar area, and a cheeky neon sign that made me laugh. Plus, Al was super friendly and happy to answer questions. The Shop also offers fun events and worth checking out. I heard the speed dating event is a good time and draws a nice crowd.
If you're looking for a chill spot to sip wine, this is it. Whether you're catching up with friends or just enjoying some solo wine time, Rendez-Vous is a Midtown gem worth discovering.
