Sacramento Museum Day Returns!


Mark your calendars for February 4 since 28 Sacramento area museums will offer free or half-priced admission all day. This will be the 14th Sacramento Museum Day and last year saw record-breaking attendance of more than 115,000 visitors!

Sacramento Museum Day event hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (with the last guests admitted at 4 p.m.).

And while shuttle busses will not be operating this year, several museums are within walking distance of each other and easily accessible via public transportation. Event coordinators suggest that guests plan to visit no more than two or three different museums on this day in order to allow adequate time to enjoy the experience and to travel between individual sites.

As an added treat on Sacramento Museum Day, free ice cream will be provided by Umpqua Bank volunteers (while supplies last) at three locations as follows: 10 a.m. at Fairytale Town, noon at the California State Railroad Museum and 2 p.m. at the Aerospace Museum of California.

This year the Sacramento Zoo is offering half price tickets at $5.50 for adults, $3.50 for children ages 2-11 and free for children under two; Fairytale Town is $2.25 for everyone and free for children under two years of age.

Winter Wine Tasting Classes at Lake Forest Cafe!

Sometimes picking the right wine for your soirée can be a headache all on its own. If like us you need a few tips, don't miss the upcoming Wine Tasting Classes at Forest Lake Cafe.

Former Corti Brothers wine merchant and educator Donal Smith will continue his popular class that's built around the idea that the better wine taster is a better wine buyer (we are all for that!)

Select Corti Brothers, Total Wines and Beyond Napa wines will be tasted and evaluated - supported by Donal's fact-filled handouts (given to all students to use in the class and take home). Scheduled winemaker and trade guests will also make their appearance at this three-week wine tasting venture.

What do the wines (being sampled in the class) look like, smell like, taste like, feel like’ in your glass?

These are all questions you'll have answered!

Not to mention you won't be tasting on an empty stomach - appetizers will be served as well. A great Valentine's Day gift for the seasoned vino-lover or newbie!

The class is limited to just 40 students.

WHEN: March - 8, 15, 22 – Three Thursday evenings: 6:30 – 8:15 PM
WHERE: Lake Forest Café – 13409 Folsom Boulevards, Folsom, California
RSVP: Tariff - $89 (all inclusive) - Three nights - 916 203-4641
