Two rooms, one family.
Two tasting rooms in El Dorado County, both pouring the wines you have been hearing so much about.

Our two tasting rooms
Right on Highway 50.
About 45 minutes from Sacramento straight up Highway 50, about an hour down the hill from South Lake Tahoe, and around two and a half hours from the Bay Area. Take the Camino exit and look for our sign.
