It really is a destination location. The beautiful setting with great highway exposure is proximal to a number of lodging options and is reminiscent of Vacaville’s road stop icon: the Nut Tree.
Satiety is also a favorite stop for hand pies and a sweet fermenting grape juice, created by the owner and dubbed “Ambrosia”.
The property has a prime location with visibility off of an active freeway. Chaykin hopes the future owner will continue to leave their door open to welcome travelers and neighbors alike. “The ideas [for this property] can continue to grow as you sit in your chair and think about it,” said Chaykin.
The building has a kitchen, tasting room, and a small dining area on the second level. There is an outdoor patio, picnic space and parking spaces for up to 38 vehicles.
Having made the most of all this available space, Chaykin offers a word to the wise: incorporate retail into your day-to-day operations for a greater return on your investment. Those popular hand pies were a great food pairing for the wine tastings he held on the property, guests loved taking them home and popping them in the freezer to enjoy at a later date.
The property is currently planted with 24 beautiful acres of five wine grape varieties, and 4 acres of 17 different table grape varieties. While producing wine was his bread and butter, Chaykin also sold the table grapes at local farmers markets. The availability of 17 unique varieties of table grapes are an additional popular attraction that bring customers to visit . No matter what you choose to grow and sell there’s a large surrounding consumer base waiting to indulge.
The current facility has the capacity to produce 16,000 gallons of wine, and the existing Use Permit allows up to 100,000 gallons of wine production. If you’re new to winemaking, have no fear – you can learn the ropes on this property (assuming you’re ready to put in some hard work). If you’re already an experienced winemaker, you can unlock your inner négociant and further customize your signature fine wine blend by purchasing additional grapes from other growers.
Whether maintaining the winery on the property or heading in a different direction, the possibilities are endless. “You can do virtually whatever you want with an agricultural permit,” said Chaykin. A brewery, or event venue are some of the opportunities to consider, you may have to apply for additional permitting. Rustic special event or wedding spaces are in high demand, and with a few updates, the future owner can easily create the perfect backdrop for life’s most celebrated occasions.
“The whole thing has been a great adventure,” Chaykin said. Now, it’s time for him to pass the torch and allow the new owner to pursue his or her own adventure with the property.
Now, you have an opportunity to own a piece of land with more potential than you can imagine. The property is listed by Sheffield Real Estate for $2.7 million. While that might be considered an investment for some, the memories you can make while following your passionsare priceless.

Satiety Winery and Cafe is one of California’s little-known treasures with a past as charming as its spot in greater Sacramento. Nestled among a cluster of robust cities including Davis and Woodland, the property that has been the passion project for the current owner is now on the market awaiting a buyer with a penchant for following their passions – or discovering new ones.
Sterling Chaykin began the winery in 1977 as a means to take him beyond his 35 year career as a biochemistry professor at UC Davis. Now 91, he’s ready to retire from the winemaking business and pass the dream to a new owner with aspirations to make their own memories (and maybe wine as well). The potential opportunities this plot of land offers extend far beyond winemaking.
Situated just off State Route 113, the parcel is set apart from the hustle and bustle of nearby cities yet remains cloaked in a relaxed rural ambiance, while still remaining only 20 minutes from nearby Sacramento International Airport. The owner reminisced about the good times he’s had on the property and remains optimistic for its new owner to uphold the warmth of the gathering spaces. “It is a destination location – a place for people that want to taste wine, entertain, and relax,” he said.
