Long known for their world class Zinfandels, the 30 odd wineries
of Amador County also produce outstanding Syrahs, Barberas and
Chenin Blancs. Best of all, the closest of these wineries are
located less than an hours drive from mid-town Sacramento.Some of our favorite wineries include:
Story. This winery has two tasting rooms –
one for direct barrel tasting and another smaller room for regular
sales. The property also features a large picnic area with outstanding
views of the Cosumnes River Canyon. The best buys here are found
in the Futures – which are definitely worth waiting for their
December releases.
Montevina. One of the most commercially successful
wineries in Amador County, Montevina features some very reasonably
priced Zins and a wonderful Chenin Blanc. The fact that they allow
all members of a tour group to aggregate their individual purchases
for computing the amount of the volume discount makes this a great
stop for large groups.
Villa Toscano. Without a doubt, along with
its sister property, Bella Piazza, are two of the nicest properties
in the Amador Region and are great places to hold special events.
As an added bonus, Villa Toscano also features a very nice selection
of prepared foods, and as such, is a great stopping place for
lunch. If you do, we suggest trying a bottle of their Barbara
as a perfect compliment to almost any of their food selections.
If you like their wines as much as we do, we would also suggest
that you join their Wine Club and receive substantial savings
on your purchases.
Amador Foothill Winery. In the words of one
of our regulars, “their Rosato is the bomb!”. This winery also
features a seminar entitled “A Barrel of Fun and Information”
– In this daily seminar you can learn about the “differences between
French and American oak, from the forest to the barrel” and even
taste how the age or type of wood affects a wine.
Cooper Vineyards. The Cooper family's passion for growing superior grapes reflects their belief that winemaking begins in the vineyard. The family's grape-growing acumen is manifested in their exciting portfolio of award-winning wines.
Renwood. Surrounded by some of America’s oldest
Zinfandel vineyards in Amador County, this winery produces world-class,
award winning Zinfandels. For the dessert wine drinkers, try the
“Amador Ice Zinfandel” – the only zinfandel wine that is produced
in the cryo-extraction process. For a more traditional Zinfandel,
try the Grandpere, Grandmere, or Old Vine.
