Wine

Calaveras County is in the heart of Northern California Wine Country. If you’re looking for a California Wine Country vacation or getaway, look no further! Calaveras County features some of the best and most affordable California vineyards. Get a taste of California's Historic Gold Country, where vineyard tours are more intimate, uncrowded and the California wines—exceptional. The Gold Country is where California began its love affair with fine wine and the tradition continues with growing fervor in Calaveras County. Special yearly events hosted by the Calaveras Winegrape Alliance include President's Wine Weekend, Passport Weekend in June, the Murphy's Calaveras Grape Stomp in October and the Holiday Open House. You can call the Calaveras Winegrape Alliance at 866-806-9463 (WINE) for a free color brochure or visit www.calaveraswines.org and explore our unique Calaveras County wineries online.
