Your driver opens doors, takes photos, carries your wine, picks up lunch, and keeps you on schedule — all the details handled so you can focus on the wine.
Plymouth and Amador County are known for bold Zinfandels, old-vine Barbera, and Petite Sirah grown in the Sierra Foothills. With El Dorado's Apple Hill corridor and Lodi's sprawling estates nearby, this is one of California's most underrated wine regions.

Home to California's most celebrated old-vine Zinfandel, plus Cabernet, Grenache, and Rhône varietals. Michael David Winery, Oak Farm, and Klinker Brick are just the beginning of a region with over 80 wineries and some of the state's most distinctive terroir.
