Between the picturesque little towns, the wine tasting, the history and the rugged natural beauty…read morestretching from the Central Valley to the tips of the Sierras, Amador County is a mostly rural treasure just minutes from neighboring Sacramento - yet so many in Sacramento don't even know it exists. I lived here for many years before moving to the big city and I'm here to tell you, it's definitely worth a visit. The first introduction for most is the wine region, centered within the lush Shenandoah Valley outside Plymouth. Here you'll find an abundance of acclaimed wineries that rival or exceed anything you'll find in Napa and Sonoma. Even better, they rarely charge a tasting fee, are less crowded and much more accessible. Next you'll explore small gold mining towns like Sutter Creek and Amador City. Perfect places to window shop for antiques, grab a bite to eat or, yes, drink more wine. There's an abundance of history stemming from this being the birthplace of the California Gold Rush. The preserved and restored buildings take you back in time. There's plenty of activities for out-of-towners as well. Grab a room at a bed and breakfast then head up country to visit Plasse's Resort, raft down the Mokelumne river, enjoy a small town fair at the annual Italian Picnic Parade or watch the Parade of Lights every Christmas. The people are nice, too. Set aside the sometimes ass-backwards thinking of a loud vocal minority of hill folk and you have everything you could ask for in terms of hospitality. Things move slower here, so don't be surprised to get caught up in conversation with a random stranger on the street or meet a new friend. If this sounds like a tour guide brochure trying to sell you on the benefits of this largely unknown area, so be it. I unapologetically support what this county has to offer.

After a fun-filled day wine tasting in Amador County, my friends and I were in need for some…read morecomfort food to end our day. This takes me to the small community of Mokelumne Hill (which is in Calaveras County) where I got to check out "Renegade Winery". Don't let the word "winery" fool you as this place not only serves some delicious wine but is also a full-on restaurant that has some good old standard American food. Since I know this area quite well and have been to neighboring areas such as Jackson and San Andreas, finding this place wasn't too difficult. But for some, it might be a challenge. When arriving on Highway 49 (from Jackson), you have the option of making a left on Campo Seco Turnpike OR a left on Main Street. The business is directly at the corner of Main & Center St's while being across the street from the historic I.O.O.F. building which neighbors a blacksmith business. If you're into ancient structures, definitely check this place out. Going back to Renegade Winery, they offer a variety of red and whites from nearby Amador County. In addition to their wine selection, they also have beer and regular soft drinks for consumption. But the main reason why we came here was their food! This includes comfort classics such as bruschetta, a meat/cheese platter, and a few others. They also carry a nice selection of salads, wraps, sandwiches, burgers, and pizzas. Finally, I wanted to add that they even offer a brunch menu on the weekends including mimosas. My significant other and I split their pesto pasta w/garlic bread while our friends tried a quesadilla and Caesar salad. As far as the interior layout of this place, it almost has that old town saloon feel to it which is the perfect fit for the gold country. The amount of distressed wood is presented throughout while the large collection of wine bottles is quite impressive. The employees that work here definitely made us felt welcome as if we were in someone's home. I also wanted to add that the exterior seating area was equally impressive with an abundance of tables, hanging lights after the sun goes down, and even a small stage for live music. If it wasn't for the heat (it was around 100°F on 6/22/2024 at 3:45pm), we would probably eat outside. As far as our pasta, they give you huge portions and more than enough to feed 2 people comfortably. The pasta was cooked well while there was a nice amount of basil in the pesto. It wasn't over-the-top amazing that you'd find at an Italian restaurant in a big city but still quite delicious and affordable (at around $16). Even our friends' spicy quesadilla had 4 large slices that can be split between two. Considering that you get a mix of everything (winery, draft beer, and food), this place has you covered. All in all, "Renegade Winery" is a place that I highly recommend. Keep in mind that they are ONLY open for business Fri/Sat from 11:30am-8pm and Sun from 9am-4pm while being closed from Monday through Thursday. So if you're taking a trip up to Big Trees or maybe Twain Harte or even Yosemite National Park, this is a great stop with above average service and very decent prices. My rating, an above average four stars.
