City of Winters Overview

Founded in 1898, the city is named after Theodore Winters, whose ranchlands make up half of the city’s acreage—and it’s still surrounded by farms, orchards and vineyards. This small town (population 7,540 as of 2022) is blessed with big flavors sits just off Highway 128, its well-preserved downtown peppered with local watering holes and restaurants where chefs serve up local renditions of farm-to-fork cuisine. Winters is also rich in nearby recreational areas, including Monticello Dam, Stebbins Canyon Natural Reserve, Putah Creek and Lake Berryessa.
