The concept is simple: come in before 5 p.m. any day Carpe Vino is open, and we’ll pour you one ounce each of any five wines we have open for just $5.

We have been making some changes at Carpe Vino and one of the biggest is the addition of our new Placer and Beyond Tasting Room. We now have more than 50 wines from 11 different wineries from Placer, Nevada and El Dorado counties.

The idea is simple…we want our customers to have easy access to some of the best wineries right here in our own backyard. Each day we are open throughout all hours, we’ll pour one ounce of any five wines from our Placer and Beyond tasting menu for just $5.

After a long-anticipated second visit to Carpe Vino, the Sacramento Bee’s veteran restaurant, wine and food editor, Mike Dunne, has spoken. “Classy and civil” Carpe Vino earns four stars, the only restaurant in Placer County currently distinguished with the newspaper’s highest rating.

We’ve been in business for more than six years now—two and one half of that engaged in fine dining—and Dunne’s distinction is the culmination of untold hours of labor coupled with a financial and personal investment that I dare not calculate. To characterize as a “struggle” all of the effort that went into building Carpe Vino would be an understatement.
