- JjanVIPSacramento / Sacramento Valley •19 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoApres Village is a fun experience. The lights and decorations create a festive atmosphere, and the outdoor fireplace and space heaters keep you cozy when the sun goes down. I loved the idea of sharing dishes for the table and enjoyed the overall simplicity of choosing the food. We were a party of 4 and we tried everything we could. It was all delicious.
