Wackman Ranch

Generations of dedication to viticulture and winemaking have cultivated the excellence that is McConnell Estates Winery. Nestled in the fertile lands just north of the Cosumnes River in Elk Grove, California, our family-owned and operated estate has been a testament to the harmonious blend of nature's bounty and passionate artistry for five generations. It's not just a winery; it's a legacy built on the enduring values of sustainability, quality, and heartfelt hospitality.

Here at McConnell Estates, we sculpt our wines from the heart of the land. Our commitment to sustainable farming practices ensures that each bottle reflects an embodiment of harmony between the vineyard and the environment. This dedication permeates every aspect of our winemaking, from vine to bottle, resulting in wines that are not only delicious but also ethically crafted.

Our Wine Offerings

We take pride in offering a diverse portfolio of wines that cater to a wide range of palates.

Our Red wines showcase the rich, robust flavors of the Californian countryside. From elegant, structured Primitivos to bold, full-bodied Merlots, each red wine tells a story of sun-kissed grapes and expert craftsmanship.

Our White wines, on the other hand, offer a refreshing counterpoint with their delicate aromas and crisp finishes. Whether you prefer the vibrant acidity of a Sauvignon Blanc or the buttery smoothness of a Chardonnay, we have a white wine to delight your senses.

We are passionate about creating Bordeaux-style blends that express the quintessential character of our terroir. Our winemaker's blend, a testament to generations of experience and expertise, is a harmonious symphony of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Tannat, each grape varietal lending its unique nuances to create a truly exceptional wine.

Beyond the Bottle

McConnell Estates Winery is more than just a place to savor exceptional wines; it's a destination for unforgettable experiences.

Throughout the year, we host a vibrant calendar of events, from live music concerts under the Californian stars to intimate winemaker dinners that offer a glimpse into the passion and dedication behind our winemaking process.

For those seeking a more personal connection, our spacious tasting room invites you to relax and indulge in a flight of our finest vintages. We also offer private events, tailor-made to celebrate life's special moments.

Whether you are a seasoned wine connoisseur or simply looking for a delightful escape, McConnell Estates Winery welcomes you to discover the art of winemaking, one sip at a time.
