Wine Trails of the Sierra Foothills <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We have four intriguing wine trails to highlight the wineries of the Sierra Foothills. The Sierra Foothills wine country ranges from1000 feet to just over 2000 feet in elevation. The elevation has many advantages to growing wine grapes. There are many excellent vineyards in these parts. Discover them! These four wine trails are less traveled than Napa and Sonoma Counties. For the most part, the Sierra Foothill wineries are small and family-owned. Fine exciting wines without the big price tags of other California wine regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the Shenandoah Valley, we come to El Dorado County and the fantastic Fair Play wine region. There are over 20 wineries in this region, but we select six excellent wineries to visit. We are at 2000 feet in Fair Play. There are several varieties of grapes to enjoy, but the Rhone wines are the best here. Wine Trail Details.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The quaint and historic gold mining town of Murphys is the center of this wine trail. Visit boutique wineries and take in the wonder of this small town with many attractions. We like the wineries a short distance from the center of Murphys. If you wish to visit just tasting rooms, there are so many good ones in the town center.
