About Us

The winery is located in Fiddletown, a picturesque and sleepy town, founded around 1849, during the Gold Rush. Fiddletown is one of California's smallest AVA and is located within the larger Sierra Foothills AVA. At an elevation of 1800 feet, the vineyards have the longest growing season in Amador Country, allowing for maximum flavor concentration and exceptional balance year in and year out.

Our  Philosophy
Good wine is like good magic; it always tells a story, paints a picture and creates memories. By balancing the art of winemaking with the science of the craft, our wines are delicious, substantial and memorable. Our wines are hand crafted, in extra small lots with extreme care given to every detail. By keeping every vineyard lot separate from vine to barrel, we are able to offer wines of distinction and character. With so many factors that go into the winemaking process, the question of paramount importance is, "How does it taste?" We invite you to decide for yourself.

Earth Friendly
Being Earth Friendly is easy to say, but it's much harder to do. The actual winery is an energy efficient ICF (insulated concrete form) structure. Our water comes from our own artisan well, with UV sterilization to replace chemical additives. Year round power is provided by a 10KW PV solar system and the only private wind turbine, in Amador County. We use pulp shippers rather than polystyrene foam cores. In addition, we strive to do business with Green Friendly companies and use our fruit from organic farmers. We recycle everything; from cardboard to sending the fruit pressings back to the vineyard for organic compost.
