Local Vineyards

One thing that has been on my to do list is visiting local wineries.

If you can believe it, I have never been to one.

I did a little research, and the following are wineries I think would be nice to visit.

And to be totally upfront, I took the pictures

and information directly from the winery/vineyard websites (they are not my pics).

Lava Cap Winery
located in Camino, CA

Lava Cap is a family-owned winery in Placerville, California.  The family of geologists specifically selected this location for its prime volcanic soil that is particularly well suited to growing fine wine grapes, and named their business after this unique "lava cap," where their grapes flourish in the volcanic soil.  Lava Cap continues to win a steady stream of medals and awards from across the country each year.

Madrona Vineyards
located in Camino, CA

Located in the high sierra foothills, Madrona is situated at 3,000 feet. and is located in Apple Hill.  Madrona serves a wide range of bordeaux and rhone.

So have you ever visited any of these wineries?  Have you ever been to a winery?  Any suggestions?
