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.

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.

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.

We found this place by accident and it was a great fine by accident, happy we did. They have the best view in Amador Wine Country and their wines are great as well. We got to taste all of their wines, not in one visit but several visits. You will feel as your in a different state, it takes your mind of your stressful week. We love going to Iron Hub Winery because of the wine, view, and staff. If your on a wine tour make sure you add Iron Hub Winery to your list and make it your last stop. As they say, "save the best for last".
8. Borjon Winery
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 25 reviews
Borjón Winery produces premium wines from some of the state's most renowned vineyards. Providing the valley with labor services since 1991, the Borjón's had always enjoyed the taste of wine and had always dreamt of having a winery of their own. Seeing first hand the tremendous growth in the valley, and the addition of so many wineries only added to the desire of one day being winery owners.

Tucked away as you pass through the Amador wine region, you will find Borjon, which houses some exceptional wines, from a high end cab to varying levels of Barbera. The wines are authentic and typically there is one wine at each winery I may not care for; however here, it’s a struggle to not find something enjoyable. They were sold out of a couple of wines, which is not quite a bad problem to have at all. Highly recommend!!!!

My wife and I had visited Deaver Vineyards Winery back in 2015, and if you look you will find an older review posted (unless TripAdvisor has removed it or lost it). We find it impossible to still objectively taste the wines if we visit more than three wineries in a day, and our preference is to only visit two in a day. As a result, even when we like a winery, it can take us a while to revisit it. Many of the things that were written several years ago remain true. There are just a few things to update and add. The thing we enjoyed the most about our visit was tasting a variety of ports. Unfortunately the variety of port that we liked the most in our previous visit was sold out, but there were several others that we enjoyed and bought bottles of. We also bought some bottles of their red wine blend, and of the old vine Zinfandel. When we visited previously, there seemed to be many more Zin options than on this visit. We also enjoyed having a picnic outside at a shaded table overlooking the pond. It would have been an even more pleasant experience had they not been mowing the lawn, which detracted from an otherwise serene setting. Just seems poor planning to mow on a Friday. I would certainly expect fewer visitors on a Monday or Tuesday. Ideally, your timing will be better than ours in this regard. The other comment I will make is that I have been to the Port Institute in Lisbon, and have sampled ports there. It is a place that is very serious about port. I don't know who at Deaver thought the port glasses with the "straw" were a cute idea. It reminded me of too many commercials for failed products that appear on television, the ones with the "but wait, if you order now we'll send you two. Just pay additional shipping and handling." Yes, those types of items. The next time I visit I will forego the souvenir glass, and ask for port to be poured into a more normal glass. Certainly worth a visit, and in another few years, we will probably return. Perhaps I will call in advance to see if they have the Merlot-based port, and when they will be mowing the lawn. :-))
10. Jeff Runquist Wines
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 104 reviews
Hand Selected Vineyards, Award Winning Wines Jeff travels throughout California to find just the right grapes for his vineyard designated wines. The winery produces 22 different red varietals from 9 appellations. We produce balanced wines that can be enjoyed in their youth, but will also age and become more complex with time. Our wines share a theme of fresh fruit reflective of the varietal flavors inherent in the grape.

Dog lover’s review: Set in a modern rustic building right off the main road. Parking is plentiful and easy. The wine is pretty good and you get quite a few tastings of both whites and reds for free with a small cheese and bread plate included. It was definitely worth the stop. We bought their Cabernet Franc for $26. The place was very dog friendly, even to our pitbull. There were three other dogs there while we were tasting and all were welcome. The place was very popular and crowded. However, they managed the pouring pace very well.
