El Dorado Wine Tour 

Many of you know of the splendor of the Napa Valley and Sonoma wine country but El Dorado County is a place not to be overlooked, in fact, it is referred to as the "Other" wine country. 

With acres of vineyards and dozens of tasting rooms for your pleasure, you will certainly be able to wile away a most pleasant weekend visiting these award winning wineries. 

There is Fitzpatrick's that produces organic wines.  There is also Perry Creek, Windwalker, Boeger and Oakstone just to name a few. 

By the end of the day you'll want to save your appetite for one of the best meals in the county at Zachary Jacques near Placerville.  And, thanks to your advance research that day, you should have no problem choosing a wine to accompany your meal.  

The El Dorado wine region is located just one hour from Sacramento and Stockton off Highway 49 in the foothills.
