Brews and more in Rancho Cordova

By: DogTrekker Staff
A vibrant dog park bathed in sunlight features abundant greenery with mature trees, offering ample shade for leisurely outdoor activities. In the distance is a well-equipped playground that presents an additional activity area. An inviting picnic table spreads out nearby, ideal for enjoying meals al fresco or taking relaxing breaks from play. A neatly-placed trash bin aids in maintaining the park's cleanliness for everyone's enjoyment. Dominating the scene is a generously wide dirt path gracefully curving through the expanse of grass, promising exploratory walks and lively fetch games.

Rancho Cordova, a suburban community on Highway 50 about 15 miles east of downtown Sacramento, is a great jumping-off place for forays into the Sierra foothills, but it’s also a beer-lover’s destination in itself with dog-friendly craft breweries or taprooms and a tap-happy restaurant (Brookfield’s) with dog-friendly patio seating.

A great option for getting started: Fort Rock Brewing Co., located in the Nimbus Winery Village, where DogTrekking visitors can sample house-made beer and also order off appetizer and small-plate menus from the adjacent Old Spaghetti Warehouse and Cattlemen’s Steakhouse (alternatively, you can bring your own food to enjoy on the patio along with your brewski). It’s part of the up-and-coming Barrel District, which encompasses three distilleries as well as the six craft breweries.
