This was our first time here and were celebrating our 22nd anniversary. We had such a good time talking with Scott and his staff, tasting the wide variety of wines and eating some great food, that we stayed for a couple hours. We had an awesome experience! Thank you!

Cooper Vineyards is one of the best vineyards in Amador County, and their patriarch, Dick Cooper is famous in the area for his amazing grapes. This is a family-owned and operated place and it is likely you will run into someone from the Cooper family during your tasting. Their Italian and Rhone style wines are absolutely delicious, and their Dicembre port-style dessert wine is one of our favorites. They have great wines for every price range - if you want a real treat, splurge on the Sangiobello or Anniversary. Cooper also gives back to the community with lots of charity events and their wine club events are some of the most popular in the area.

Stop by and try fine wines from boutique Amador vintners in the relaxed atmosphere of Amador 360. Open until 6 PM.

While you're tasting, we'll help you discover which Amador wineries have just what you're looking for, answer questions about Amador wines and wine in general. Our expert staff loves to talk about wine appreciation, wine making, and the local wine scene. Join the conversation! Wine shipping is available on site.

We came down highway 88 from South Lake Tahoe for a day of wine tasting. This place is just to the south of the round-a-bout on Hwy. 49. Julie, our wine server, was full of good conversation and a wealth of information (with maps) to plot out our day. The business represents a number of excellent wineries that do not have their own tasting rooms. This is a nice place to start the day in a little known CA wine region.

7. Kirkwood Mountain Resort

This spectacular Sierra ski resort has a base elevation at 7,800 feet that is open for great skiing during the winter season, and great hiking trails in the summer.

While out of the way from South Lake Tahoe, would definitely recommend the trip for a full day of skiing on the weekend. Kirkwood is the most challenging out of the three on the Epic pass and is great for getting you out of your comfort zone. The terrain is definitely unique compared to Northstar and Heavenly. It is exposed, not a lot of trees or folds in the mountains, and so you can see people skiing from very far away, which makes the lifts more entertaining! Solitude lift gets crowded with intermediate skiiers as it only services blues, but the line is shorter on the Reut lift, and some of those blacks are pretty comparable to other blues on the mountain. On days when it’s not icy, my favorite run is Conestoga, off the Reut. Lower Monte Wolfe off Solitude is also not too crowded. Lifts opened with staggered times, so the back side can get crowded in the late mornings. There also are no single riders lines.

Quite possibly the nicest, cleanest, well-run parks I've ever seen. Tranquil forests and informative cultural exhibits - perfect. A special shout out to ranger Lee Eal! Knowledgeable and helpful - made our camping experience wonderful!

Historical winery, farm museum on site.
Reviewed By Starr53518 - Gardnerville, United States
Excellent wine selection. We visited on a Monday, if you have a chance it's a great day to visit. Lack of crowds, and time to enjoy the wine tasting without distractions. We happened to visit at the same time as new friends we met at our Inn so we were comparing notes. This was our first time at Sobon, but it won't be our last.
