About the Park Rock House imageIndian Grinding Rock State Historic Park (IGR) is located in the Sierra Nevada foothills 12 miles east of Jackson, CA. The park nestles in a little valley 2,400 feet above sea level with open meadows and large valley oaks that once provided the Native Americans of this area with an ample supply of acorns. The park was created in 1968 and preserves a great outcropping of marbleized limestone with some 1,185 mortar holes -- the largest collection of bedrock mortars in North America. www.parks.ca.gov

Amador Winery

Popular Amador Wineries
Beautiful winery for bringing a picnic. Summer concerts. “Spending a day at Helwig is just what the wine doctor ordered. Here, you’ll be tempted into staying beyond the hour wine tasting and indulge in the sweeping views of the lush vineyards. You can try the picnic Pavilion, visit the wine cave, explore the terraced concert amphitheater, or let the chef select wine and food pairings for you. If you gaze long enough, you can pretend you’re in Napa, the views are that good! The tastings are just $5 for 6 or 7 wines and the fee is waived if you purchase a bottle. The winery itself is more modern than those in the surrounding area. The winery is also perfect for corporate events and weddings, having designated areas and rooms just for those occasions. Shopping is also a must here as they have a wide variety of olive oil products that include lip balms, soaps, and even seasoned dips. Some of their most notable wines include their Gold Country Rosé, IditaRed red blend, East Block Zinfandel, and their Sparkling Rosé. This is definitely one of the best Amador County wineries to visit!” Californiawineadvisor.com

Beautiful Amador Winery “Next on our list of the best Amador County wineries is a beautiful French chateau-inspired winery features complimentary wine tasting. The wine is served by a friendly and knowledgeable staff. The tastings offered at Karmère include new and popular releases. They also let you taste future wine releases straight from the barrel. Want an insiders tip? Their pours are quite generous for a tasting. In addition to Reds, Karmère also offers Almond and Peach Sparkling Wines. The winery is run by women and all of their vineyards are named after the women in the family. The grounds are manicured. You would be forgiven for thinking you were back in the old country during your visit! What a perfect backdrop for watching the sunset with a glass of wine. There is also a winery cat named Grayson who lives on the property.” Californiawineadvisors.com

Popular Amador Winery for picnics and wine tasting “The winemaker here is focused on making balanced wines full of vibrant flavor. A visit to the tasting room means you’ll get to experience some of the robust flavors in their Zinfandel, Primitivo, Barbera, Sangiovese, Dolcetto, and Carbon. You’ll receive a complimentary cheese plate to pair with each of the wines, the wine tasting is also free.

“You get the feeling that Andis is the Tesla of wineries. Modern, sleek with a futuristic design. So it is no surprise the parking area offers electric vehicle charging stations. The state of the art winemaking facility was built with a "green" approach. This makes Andis stand out from the rest of the wineries in the area. The tasting room itself is quite spacious and offers panoramic views of Amador wine country. Even though the look is modern and sleek, the heart of the winery is fun and welcoming. It is clear they want you to come and hang out a while. You will find bocce ball courts, large picnic areas, and wines on tap to enhance your experience. Even with all these modern attributes, their wine tastings are only $5 for 6 wines. That feels like a throwback to the good old days of wine tasting! They also have events throughout the years like Redneck BBQs, Art Classes, and Harvest events where guests can stomp on grapes. Popular offerings include their crisp Sauvignon Blanc and their Cabernet Franc. They also have the oldest Zinfandel in the country, grapes harvested from a 100-year old vine. Love modern design and great wine? This is one of the best Amador County wineries for you!” Californiawineadvisors.com

The tasting room is housed in a charming restored Post Office. Not only is it a tasting room, but also a local hangout with a visitor’s center and an eatery. Guests can wine taste with bites like the charcuterie and cheese plate or even ice cream - Raspberry Zinfandel Chip, anyone? Their popular wines include Gold Digger Red Wine, Pay Dirt Zinfandel, and the Cooper Ranch Barbera. At Prospect you can munch on toasted panini sandwiches, pairing them with wine flights. They are also open later than most wineries in town, so it’s a great last stop to keep that wine buzz going.” Californiawineadvisors.com
