About

Sierra FoodWineArt is a free, quarterly magazine that is a go-to publication for restaurants, wineries, arts and tourism in the Sierra Foothills, Tahoe/Truckee and outlying Sacramento region.

We also have a companion website called SierraCulture.com that promotes food, wine, art and tourism in the region. It includes an interactive events calendar, restaurant, lodging and performing arts directory, maps, videos, interactive tours, and all archived magazine content. We also have a smartphone web app at SierraCulture.com/mobile.

Visitors and locals alike find timely, magazine articles in our publication, as well as maps, directories and ads printed on high-quality paper stock in full color. For many in the outlying areas, a visit to the historic gold towns of the Sierra offer a welcome relief to the hot summer days in Sacramento or the snowy winter weekends in Reno. Our website is promoted by SacBee.com, and some of our articles are republished in the Bee’s print edition.

Editorial content is overseen by Jeff Pelline, whose award winning 30-year journalism career includes editing and management positions at the San Francisco Chronicle, CNET (since sold to CBS for $2 billion) and The Union in Grass Valley. Jeff’s work has also been published in the New York Times, Time magazine and the Chicago Tribune. CNET won a prestigious National Magazine Award when Jeff was Editor, among the first for an online publication.

We publish and distribute 15,000 copies to more than 300 locations each quarter, including Auburn, Nevada City, Grass Valley, Rocklin and Roseville, Folsom, Lincoln, the greater Sacramento area, Placerville, Marysville, Yuba City, Chico, Paradise, Colfax, Truckee, Tahoe City, South Lake Tahoe and Reno. We also distribute our magazine at California Welcome Centers in Northern California.

We seek high-demographic readers and provide restocking over the course of the three-month run of each issue. We also can customize distribution to fit advertiser’s specific needs, including the Bay Area markets.
