17 Best Wineries near Shingle Springs

“I just had the best tasting experience at this winery. The tasting manager, Sean, is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about what he does. I learned so much about myself and my tastes that I’ve never been able to put my finger on and now have the words to describe. I’ve never been sold on wine memberships before, but couldn’t help but sign up here. Wonderful experience! Their membership is totally reasonable, too. Such a fun day!“

“Franklin is a real gold-country gem. He is so knowledgeable and fun, I wish he was at every tasting room I visit. The vine was devine. The 04 Carneros Chard was a real surprise. If you ever wanted a white that taste like a red, this is the one. Don't skip this adorable spot, unless its Frank's day off“

“We absolutely loved coming to Cappelli’s. Everyone was very welcoming and the wine was amazing!!! Great wine and a great price!! We bought 5 bottles to go.

For accessibility, I brought the wheelchair in there and it was great.“

“We have been long-time fans of this winery, but our most recent visit for our anniversary (it's been over a decade since we've been!) was so, so lovely. Hayley was so engaging and generous, the newer wines in our tasting were INCREDIBLE (hello, white Barbera!), and the grounds, as always, were beautiful. Go get you some wine here. It's iconic!“

“What an experience today at Story! David and Joey gave us a phenomenal experience from the moment my family and I walked in the door to the moment we left and not only did we experience amazing and unique wines but we were blown away by the food! Teleported to Georgia and were given a taste of the history and background of their home and the culture . 10/10 recommend and cannot wait to be back! The views were breathtaking and we love their dog , Simba! Thank you for making us fall in love with an experience, David and Joey! You two are an incredible Father/Son duo . We will be back on Thursday“

“Beautiful Vinyard 😍 Dewey is the best, he allowed me to go on the private land to see the most beautiful Sunset I've ever seen.“

“I don’t know where to begin writing this, we could not recommend Saureel Vineyards and their staff more! We had our wedding here and there are dozens of reasons why we chose this venue, and I could think of a million more reasons I would choose it again if I had to do it all over. The scenery is unmatched, there isn’t a corner that doesn’t have the perfect backdrop. You get to stay at the property two nights, and ability to extend your stay like we did… which is a small fraction of the cost if you were to book hotels/airbnbs elsewhere for your wedding weekend. We stayed for 4 nights and I can’t tell you how at ease and stress free we were able to remain because of that. That was priceless. Jordan and her staff are incredible, they stepped right in when error occurred and solved problems within an instant. There was never a moment where I was worried if the day was under control. They also answered all of my questions promptly throughout the entire process and were truly more than day of coordinators. The Lakehouse is the best place to host your closest people as you celebrate marrying your best friend. Plenty equipped to host, stay, and enjoy your wedding weekend at the very same place where all the festivities take place. Which is so so special. If I could give one piece of advice to future couples, it is to choose a venue that you can stay at for two or more days, and Saureel is the best place to do it! The value of this venue is immeasurable, and we can’t wait to stay at the Lakehouse VRBO in the future and reminisce our favorite day!!!“

“We just checked out their new location/tasting room for their grand opening and it was a hit! Love the covered patio and tons of seating out on the ground too. Excellent idea to combine with Amador flower farm!

Of course, we come for the wine and their Sparkling wines and Ports are some of the best! The peach mango sparkling wine was delicious!! A++“

“We were recommended this tasting room by a friend at TDO, which is closing. Tom the wine maker was in the tasting room. Him and his were very cordial. Nice tasting room and even a tent outside. We arrived 30 mins before they closed, but said it was no problem. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced. We will be back in October and probably join their club.“

“It was great I was helped by the third generation son who is very knowledgeable about his products and what paired with what was very helpful actually probably a little too helpful I've got one wine now to taste with just about anything I'd want to eat which is okay. It's expanding my knowledge about good food and drink definitely worth the stop Shenandoah Vineyards part of the sabon family.“

“We have been TKC club members about ten years. We have upgraded our membership more than once, and their club prices are so good we still order a LOT more wine than comes with our membership. I adore Amador wineries and TKC is the first one I go to.“

“Love sitting on this dog friendly patio gazing at the Sierra Nevada foothills listening to fun bands drinking outstanding wines. Life is good!!!“

“Greatest Halloween party ever“

“Downtown Placerville tasting room is very convenient. Great service and they even had Monday Night Football on the tv“

“Beautiful venue, offering exceptional service, and a once in a lifetime experience for our guests. Breathtaking photo's with a romantic, intimate and elegance.“

“If I could give 10 stars I would. These people know liquor.

This is hands down THE hidden gem of your drive toward Placerville. 5 mins off hwy 50 in El Dorado Hills, in an unassuming business district, lies some of the best spirits produced in all of California. (That’s not just my opinion, they have won multiple awards for their liquors.)
If you think you don’t like a type of libation before going, I dare you to tell the person on the other side of their absolutely gorgeous bar, I love how knowledgeable, welcoming, and focused they are in creating some of the best liquors your mouth will ever have the pleasure of touching. “You’re welcome mouth”, is what you will be saying.

As the secret continues to get out, don’t you want to be the one who tells your friends about the best damn whiskey, gin, vodka, rum, brandy, and more, that you found and are now sharing with them? Because, if you go and do a flight, I would be astounded if you don’t coming back again. Buy a bottle, heck buy 2, as everything is small batch, it means everything is very limited before the next run, so you can taste the love that goes into each bottle.“

“Honesty, Gold Hill Winery probably not the best one among the area, but it won’t be a bad one, cause there are many different types of the wine for tasting. Also, the owner, which is an old lady seems like a fun person, she waived my tasting fee since I went there on a Thursday. If one thing I not feel quite good, that might be the deposited ashes of the grape left in the glass. To leave the customer a better tasting experience, they could add a cap with filter on the top of the bottle of the wines, so those ashes of the grapes will not fall into the glass with the fluid.“
