Description

An Italian oasis in the heart of Amador County is the best description of this destination winery a few miles outside the tiny berg of Plymouth. Amid lushly planted gardens, statues, patios, fountains and their Italian bistro is Villa Toscano’s ornately designed hospitality center.

The Tuscan-themed winery produces a wide range of California varietals,
Rhone-style wines and Italian favorites. Their specialty is their robust Zinfandel. They make five versions, including a late-harvest wine with five percent residual sugar. Their dessert wines include an Orange Muscat and a port.

Once past the garden patio, you enter the richly appointed tasting room adorned with wall tapestries, upscale gifts, wine accessories and a long elegant tasting bar. While you are tasting or browsing through the gift shop, the sound system serenades you with familiar compositions by Italian composers.

In a separate building is the Bistro Deli, serving gourmet salads, sandwiches and other specialties.

James, Berkeley
January, 2008

With Italian music playing you stroll past this great patio to the tasting room and gift shop. The gifts are first class and the wines were good. The winery though seems a bit out of place in the mountains but it was fun. We ended up having lunch there due to the very nice deli on site that made us a great sandwich and a fancy salad.
