Meet Franquette, a French-inspired wine bar and cafe brought to you by Brad Cecchi and Clay Nutting — the team behind Michelin-rated restaurant, Canon. Franquette's culinary program is led by Chef Elena Winks who studied at Ferrandi, Institute of French Gastronomy and worked at Verjus and Ellsworth in Paris, France. In Sacramento she worked at The Kitchen and was part of the opening team at Canon. Franquette's wine and coffee program is led by Elena's husband, Jack Winks, also of Canon (and a number of cool Parisian cocktail bars as well).

Franquette is situated in The Bridge District, the burgeoning riverfront neighborhood in West Sacramento, which offers views of the river, Downtown, and the Tower Bridge.
