Comfortable and worn, a rucksack embodies our desire to discover life away from the ordinary. It is with this same spirit of discovery that we produce our wines, each an expression of the varied climate and soils of the Sierra Foothills appellation. Join us as we explore this exciting world of wine.

We are located at 3030 Carson Road and are open Thursday through Sunday, 12 - 4pm. Tasting Flights are $10 with $5 waived on a purchase of one bottle or more. Club members are complimentary.

Reservations are recommended and can be made by calling the winery at 530-644-5948 or booking on Open Table. Walk-ups are welcome. Should your plans change and you can not make it, please call or go back to Open Table to cancel your reservation. This will allow others to book your reserved time.

We here at Rucksack Cellars look forward to having you.

    We enjoyed a lovely afternoon at Rucksack. Our table sat under the beautiful Madrone tree. Our wine tasting was a nice selection from Chardonnay, Barbara Rose, Rucksack Zinfandel and Alvarelbao. This is one of our favorite wineries, we love the out door seating and friendly staff.

    What a perfect gem - hidden in plain sight! Rucksack has some of the best wines in the region and the location is just perfect, right off of Carson Road with orchards and farms just a stone's throw away. We have always done tastings outside at a picnic table and had such wonderful experiences with the staff and atmosphere. We seem to go home with way too much wine all too often - it is just that good! I highly recommend this spot!

    Rucksack cellars was the perfect spot for my friends and I to enjoy apple hill. The wines were great and we didn’t feel rushed at all. I will definitely be back to enjoy more tastings at rucksack cellars.
