Amador County is located 45 miles southeast of Sacramento, accessible from Hwy 50 & historic Highway 49. 60+ wineries grow more than 2,700 acres of grapes and produce some of the best Zinfandels in America. Amador's production of intensely flavored red wines can be attributed to its high percentage of old vines. About 600 acres of the county's vines are at least 60 years old. Several vineyards date to the 19th century. Views in the wineries encompass peaceful valleys, winding river canyons and the awesome Sierra Mountains. Savor the history, charm & hospitality of over 60 wineries.  Also enjoy boutique shops, galleries, farmers' markets & locally owned farm-to-fork restaurants. Hike, camp, bike, fish, boat, explore a cave, gold mine or flower farm - It's Your Amador Adventure!
