El Dorado County Wine Region is centered on the old gold mining town of Placerville on historic U.S. Highway 50. The wineries in this region are spread out through the hills and mountains on narrow country roads. Some are rather remote and an accurate map is necessary. El Dorado County wineries are usually small and family owned. It is an old wine region, for California, but is only recently being discovered by most tasters.
Wine tasting here is a real adventure in wayfinding and diverse experiences. Visitor services are very limited in most areas except for the quaint Gold Rush town of Placerville. Be sure to include in your plans the huge fruit markets in Camino with their fresh apples and apple pies, along with other treats. Many wineries are in the Fairplay area. There is a nice restuarant in tiny Fairplay that is open on Friday and weekends but no other food opportunities.

This event typically sells out each year, so you will want to line up your friends and make reservations to stay for the weekend now!
