Elk Grove, California, is about to get a lot more melodious this February. Christopher Cellars, the family-run winery known for its cozy charm and top-tier wines, is hosting its Winter Music Series on February 21 and 28, 2025. These evenings are a delightful mix of live music, fine wine, and good vibes. If you’re looking for a reason to break out of your winter hibernation, this is it.

A Winery With Personality

Christopher Cellars isn’t your average winery. This boutique spot is located at 9654 Bradshaw Road in Elk Grove and combines rustic elegance with a welcoming atmosphere. The winery operates out of a beautifully restored 1900s barn surrounded by ten acres of vineyards. It’s the kind of place where wine lovers feel right at home—whether you’re a connoisseur or someone who just knows they like “the red one.”

The owners pride themselves on crafting wines that highlight the unique flavors of the Lodi appellation. From bold Zinfandels to delicate Chardonnays, there’s something for every palate here. And if you’re lucky, you might even get to try some of their lesser-known varietals like Cinsault or Carignan.

Music to Pair With Your Merlot

The Winter Music Series is not just about wine; it’s about creating an experience. On February 21 and 28, from 4:30 PM to 7:30 PM, Christopher Cellars will transform into a stage for local musicians. These free events are designed to warm your soul as much as your glass of Cabernet warms your hands.

The lineup hasn’t been disclosed yet (because the suspense is part of the fun), but Christopher Cellars has a reputation for curating talented acts that elevate the evening. You can expect music that complements the winery’s laid-back yet sophisticated vibe, whether it’s acoustic guitar melodies or jazzy rhythms.

Wine Down Your Week

Picture this: You’re sitting on Christopher Cellars’ expansive patio or inside their cozy cellar room. A glass of wine rests in your hand while live music fills the air. Maybe you’ve brought a date or gathered some friends for a midweek escape. Either way, it’s hard not to feel like life is pretty great at that moment.

Christopher Cellars’ knowledgeable staff will be on hand to guide you through their rotating tasting menu. Whether you’re into whites, reds, or rosés, they’ll help you find the perfect pour. And don’t worry about reservations unless you’re rolling deep with a group of eight or more.

Family-Friendly Fun (Yes, Really)

One thing that sets Christopher Cellars apart is its inclusivity. These events are family- and dog-friendly, so feel free to bring along your little ones or furry friends. Just make sure Fido doesn’t try to sample your Chardonnay—it’s not his vintage.

Why You Should Mark Your Calendar

Let’s face it: February can be a bit dull. The holidays are over, but spring still feels far away. That’s why events like the Winter Music Series are such a breath of fresh air—or rather, fresh wine-scented air.

Here’s what makes these evenings worth attending:

• Free Admission: No tickets? No problem! Just show up and enjoy.
• Local Talent: Support musicians from the area while discovering new sounds.
• Amazing Wine: This one’s self-explanatory.
• Relaxed Atmosphere: No pretension here—just good times with good people.

So grab your calendar (or phone) and block off February 21 and 28 from 4:30 PM to 7:30 PM. Whether you’re a local or just passing through Elk Grove, Christopher Cellars’ Winter Music Series is shaping up to be one of the season’s highlights.

And remember: Life is too short for bad wine—or boring Thursday nights.
