 VISIT
THE GOLD COUNTRY WINE COUNTRY
 In
Gold Country
Head to the wine region that has its roots in
precious treasure – Gold Country. At first
thought, this wine country may invoke images of
people heading west, panning and mining for gold,
and then striking it rich. However, with a mushrooming
winery community, Gold Country wines are now center
of attention.
Perfect for a day trip from Stockton or Sacramento,
Gold Country has a diverse collection of wineries
and tasting rooms in the Sierra Nevada foothills
along Highway 49. Savor the complexity and distinct
flavor of Zinfandel varietals. For the young at
heart, be adventurous and taste the Rhone and Tuscan
varietals such as Barbera, Sangiovese, and Syrah
that are also gaining popularity. Take advantage
of this golden opportunity to also explore the
charm of the many old mining towns, tour museums,
and stay at lodging places that offer hiking, kayaking,
mountain biking and fishing. So get in your car
and tour the rustic countryside of Gold Country – rich
with history and wine. |
