The festival takes its name and inspiration from four iconic wine regions—France’s Rhône Valley, Italy, Spain, and Heritage California—each represented through thoughtfully paired cuisine and wines that reflect Amador County’s deep viticultural roots.

Guests will explore more than 100 wines, including reserve and limited-production pours, gold medal winners, and boutique selections from some of the area’s most respected producers.

Participating wineries include a robust lineup such as Amador Cellars, Helwig Vineyards & Winery, Jeff Runquist Wines, Dobra Zemlja Winery, Rombauer Vineyards, Vino Noceto, and many more representing the diversity and craftsmanship of Amador’s wine scene.

Beyond wine and food, the festival also features locally brewed beer, artisan goods, and handcrafted products ranging from gourmet sauces and olive oils to jewelry, candles, and fine art.

Artisan Vendors and Entertainment
