“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!“

“A must visit!! My boyfriend and I visited Rombauer in Saint Helena a few months ago and it was mentioned to us that there was another facility in Plymouth. We decided to make the trip over a holiday weekend and it did not disappoint! Ample parking, beautiful grounds, incredible staff, and great wine. Dawn led our tasting and she was incredible! She knew so much about the wine, the area, and made us feel at home. It was a bit chilly and she was so kind to allow us to change tables and even brought us multiple blankets. We picked up a few bottles and can't wait to visit again soon!“

“So good! Amazing sparkling wine location. About 5 to 7 to choose from, so a perfect tasting amount. The Almond Sparkling wine is iconic and worth the drive. The wine experts and venue is top notch. Add this place to your wine tasting itinerary asap!!“

“This is such a great place to spend.Maybe a dinner or actually a lunch with your loved ones very nice view, very good outdoors and overall nice waitresses, nice personnel, it's a great place to have a glass of good wine and actually have some very, very nice, Georgia food. You can expect to spend anywhere around hundred dollars per bottle of wine there.And for a good lunch, you can expect to spend there around fifty bucks per person.Maybe a little less depend on your hunger.“

“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.“

“We had the pleasure of having my daughter's wedding here recently and I cannot say enough good about not only the venue but the management and staff from well before the wedding date all the way through the most magical day went above and beyond!
Jordan and Maggie are simply the best and they care about your special day as if it were their own. It was phenomenal the amount of people that approached us asking how did you find this place??
From the wedding night/guesthouse to the beautiful lake to the massive grounds it is absolutely breathtaking and so well kept yet so comfortable to be in… Highly highly recommend!“

“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 loved it, great people !!“

“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.“

“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!!!“

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

“Greatest Halloween party ever“

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

“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.“
