The Remote Winery In Northern California That’s Picture Perfect For A Day Trip
This region of the country is known all over the world for its remarkable Mediterranean climate that produces some of the best wines around. And while we love the wineries closer to the coast, the remote foothill wineries of the Sierra Nevada are unparalleled and off the beaten path. Madroña is a scenic winery in the Apple Hill region that you will fall in love with.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate
You won't get tired of the view at the family owned and operated Madroña Vineyards.
It was started in 1973 by Dick and Leslie Bush, pioneers in the grape growing phenomenon of El Dorado County. The next generation of the Bush family runs the show now.
Located at 3,000 feet in elevation, this foothill region of the Sierra Nevada is known for distinct vintages and has a growing reputation as one of Northern California's celebrated wine regions.
Stop on by during the upcoming Passport Weekends, which offers an intimate and up close experience at all the El Dorado Wineries. The event is happening this weekend (April 22-23) as well as next (April 29-30).
If you can't get enough of the wide range of Rhône and Bordeaux varietals that keep visitors coming back again and again, you can join their wine club and have access to exclusive deals.
