1. Windwalker Vineyards
Overall Ratings
5 based on 24 reviews
Offers wine tastings on weekends or by appointment.
Reviewed By KarenC327 - Lake City, Minnesota
After sharing a bottle of Windwalker Cab at our B and B, my husband and I could hardly wait to visit the Windwalker Vineyards. The host there was super friendly and knowledgeable and we enjoyed a leisurely visit and extensive sampling of their wines. When we departed, we took along another three bottles of 2011 Cabernet! This particular wine we found to be the best tasting we have consumed anywhere in the world! The vineyards of Fairplay, CA are fantastic and Windwalker is a "stand out " among many other great vineyards in the area!

If you like good wine and are traveling through the Sierra Foothills, make sure to stop at Cantiga Wineworks. Cantiga produces superb wines with much care. The folks there are very friendly and the atmosphere is wonderful. You'll taste some excellent wines paired with food...MoreThanks for the wonderful review, Brian!

A favorite winery for weddings, produces over 15 different varieties of wine.
Reviewed By JudgeSue - Henderson, Nevada
My husband and I initially visited Charles Mitchell Winery in November 2013. The attention we received then was outstanding, and we ended up buying 2 cases of futures (reserve pinot noir and petit syrah), after tasting from the barrels via thief. We were given 2 magnums of two other wines, one of which we opened for my family's Christmas celebration--it was outstanding. We learned, at that time, of the Friday night $10 "all you can eat pizza/pasta." We returned in March 2014 to pick up our first future (pinot noir), and enjoyed the Friday night pizza experience, which I would rate as a great value. Not only was the pizza, pasta and salad wonderful (served on paper plates), but also liters of their pizza wine at $15 each and lobster ($30) were available. We returned the next day to pick up our wine, and the tri tip mean was great, and other wine tastings, including more futures were available. Wine tastings were free. The winemaker was there, and he was interesting and gracious. We are coming back.

Open Every Day in Beautiful Apple Hill, We Pride Ourselves on Welcoming Visitors and Locals Alike with Fresh Offerings, Friendly Faces, and Gorgeous Views!
Reviewed By Lisa S - Roseville, California
Lovely farm with plenty of fresh produce, free samples and delicious pastries. We stopped by around Halloween time to pick out our pumpkins and to get some fresh jarred Apple pumpkin butter. They make their own pies and cider and prices are good. Definitely worth a stop either solo or with the whole family.
5. Mount Aukum Winery

Reviewed By JudgeSue - Henderson, Nevada
In November 2013, my husband and I visited Mount Aukum Winery given a recommendation. While the view was spectular with the winding road up and down, we were disappointed in the wines. Most were heavy and plummy--with that said, we did buy a bottle of the Mouvedre. With this great view, I would recommend bringing sandwiches and your own bottle of wine. There are tables and chairs available.
6. High Hill Ranch

Rides galore, and plenty of apple and wine based activities.
Reviewed By Steve R - Roseville, California
If you want a place to get all the feel, tastes and smells of Apple Hill, without a lot of driving, this is your place.
Located right off Hwy 50 ( although late on a busy weekend day traffic can be seriously busy) It's at the top of the hill.
It's got good pies and goodies of course but also, there's a kids trout fishing pond where a catch is almost a guarantee, a crafts fair with "stuff" for sale, but also attached is the Fudge Factory with an amazing and delicious array of fudge, candies, Caramel Apples and the hard to find and my personal favorite, real candied apples (with the red crackle candy outside)...wow good.
Then if you'd like to change it up, you can walk down a lane to Madrona winery for a taste. Good wines. And now if you'd like another taste of wine, across and down the street is Jodar Wines, which surprised me how good they are.
When time to go and want some apple butter, pies, nuts, syrups and bushels of fruit to bring home, just stop at Boa Vista on the way back down toward Placerville.
And there you have it, Apple Hill in a nutshell or a little slice of Apple....Hill.
7. Perry Creek Vineyards

Winery offering vintage cigars, automobiles and 14 varieties of wine
Reviewed By kirstie101 - Elk Grove, California
We visited this winery for the first time this weekend but I can say for certain that it will not be the last visit we make! Its a small winery with a very laid back feel. The tasting room is welcoming and everyone we met was friendly. We enjoyed every single wine we tasted and even joined their club. We had come to use a Groupon that included a tour which we enjoyed very much. We learned a bit and found a new favorite winery to include on our future trips! This was our first time tasting wine in Fair Play, usually we just stick to Amador County. But this winery was definitely worth the additional 15 minute drive from Amador County. We're already planning our next visit!

We were recommended to this winery by friends and ended up meeting the owner, John at a local restaurant. It is very small, but the wines are worth every penny. John, who is also the winemaker was wonderful. Although he planned on being closed on New Year's Eve day, he opened specifically for us.

The employees are very friendly and I really like the wine cave. The wine is fantastic and I don't miss a chance to buy more when I'm in the area.

We bought the inexpensive red blend (Sheriff) because we thought it was a value. The hostess was informative and patient making our tasting experience pleasant and lingering. If you are this far north, stop by and see what you like.
