The castle itself is historic with some insanely horrific history to it. I'm not going to say much more it's a great experience. The castle does all different types of events throughout the year, they're most popular is the haunt during Halloween season or throughout October. I went one year it was pretty amazing. My family has gone a few times and loved it. Look forward to this year!! Get your tickets quick because it sells out fast.

Came here for the haunted house event about a week ago and I'm not sure if I would come back again…read more Tickets were $35 each (purchased online) and you have to park and walk about 10-15 minutes to the castle or you can take the little van that drives you there which also takes the same amount of time. We took the van to the castle but they don't drop you off directly in front of the castle so you still have to walk down through security and then to the castle. Porte potty's are available right before security and once you walk up the hill to wait in line to enter the castle. There were a couple food trucks when we went, we were expecting a few based on what was said online but not sure if it depends on the time. We waited over an hour in line to enter the haunted house and if you do really believe in ghosts this place is pretty haunted. The event itself wasn't scary, the actors aren't able to touch you but there's obviously loud screaming and they may be a bit too close for comfort to get a reaction out of you. You do have to climb up and down quite a few stairs and then there's a second part lead outside and back in the castle (barely any lighting and it's a dirt road so you have to carefully walk). Many strobing lights as well so do avoid if you are triggered by that. The energy throughout the castle was not pleasant or welcoming, I was very excited for it to be over as the haunted house itself was not very good and I was mostly tired from all the walking. There's a merch truck outside at the end of the castle as well. We also decided to walk back instead of waiting for the shuttle but there absolutely no lighting and many ditches with uneven flooring so you have to be very careful. Overall experience was not my favorite and I wouldn't come back again.

They have some that are particular to Amador County and sets them apart from its neighboring counties fairs. They are the Demolition Derby, steam powered old time sawmill, working old time gold mine trommel, Miwok Village exhibit hosted by Sierra Native American Tribal Council, tractor parade of late 1800s and early 1900s tractors, and live demo of 19th century blacksmith. The fair grounds is mostly on packed dirt including the parking lot. I attended on the last day of the fair. I did not know until I got there that it was was Demolition Derby night. I didn't stay to watch that but definitely bookmarked for next time. I'm a history nerd, so I did go to all the live demos and displays even though I was nearly going to pass out from heat exhaustion. I had to duck into the various air conditioned buildings to cool down. They had several buildings for vendors selling their wares, children's arts n play area, potted flora and plant fair entries, and arts and crafts fair entries.

Great venue! I enjoy…read morewatching plays and musicals and have been fortunate to visit and watch some good productions on stage from large to small, modern to historic theaters. Volcano, so far, has been the smallest venue I've walked into. I love it! It's waaaaaay off Broadway, historic and there's not a bad seat in the house! It's one of the little gems in the Gold Country. Last month I was lucky to attend and watch a special showing for our group at the historic Cobblestone Theatre. We met some of the Board of Director members and we listened and heard the enthusiasm from their stories as each shared a little about the theatre. I can't recall the others who spoke but can remember Bob, the Business Manager. VTC has been performing live theatrical productions since 1974. The Cobblestone Theatre was built in 1856. I believe there are only 50 seats in the house and they do fill up. During our visit we watched, or rather listened to, "Voices" as five women shared their life stories... each a separate experience and yet not alone. We would love to experience more productions here and watch local talent when we come back, perhaps in the summer, at their outdoor theater where I understand the venue is much bigger and can hold a lot more people.

She was beyond accommodating and made it a stress-free experience. Everything was perfect and almost every guest (there were about 60 of us) was raving about how beautiful the venue and landscape are, on top of asking me how the heck I found the venue. They have a really nice bridal suite as well that I was able to get ready in which was incredibly helpful and appreciated. If you're looking to have a wedding, baby shower, birthday celebration or just a relaxing place to taste wine among beautiful scenery; I highly recommend Domenico. They treated us like family from the moment I made the 1st call to the owner and we wouldn't hesitate to return. 10/10 recommend Domenico Winery in Amador County!
