Twisted Oak Winery

We're a small family owned winery that specializes in wines made from Rhone and Spanish varieties. If you are looking for wines called The Spaniard, River of Skulls, and "Pottymouth", you have found the right place! And if you are looking for the Rubber Chicken National Forest, we've got it! While in Murphys, please visit our tasting room at 363 Main Street. Wine tasting, gift shopping, and a sweet rubber chicken nugget!

I’ve been to this winery a half dozen times and have always enjoyed it. The tasting is $10 but includes an average of 8 wines and is waived if you buy a bottle. The young man who poured our tastings was very nice and knew a lot about the winery. He was super friendly. I would definitely go back again as their wines were tasty and reasonably priced.

Moaning Caverns

Gold miners first explored Moaning Cavern in 1851, but Native Americans had revered the site for centuries because of the haunting, moaning sounds coming from the entrance. Today, visitors enter by descending a metal spiral staircase on our Spiral Tour. Or, make reservations for an exciting two-hour Expedition Tour. Above ground activities: gemstone mining, gold panning, ax throwing or free nature trail. School program available. Open 364 days a year, please see our website for details.

My kids and I really enjoyed this tour. The tour guide Shane was so informative and nice (even when my kids asked ~300 questions about the cavern). So many interesting facts on the caves history - amazing formations below and it was a fun trek down the 200 or so spiral steps. My kids still talking about it and want to go back again.
