Just a few miles from the settlement of Plymouth is the resort-like setting of Young’s Vineyard. The winery property is a treat to explore, as is their wine list, which is filled with rich red Amador County wines.

The tasting room resides in an attractive redwood barn surrounded by lovely gardens, vineyards, ponds, picnic areas and lush lawns. Stroll around back and check out the Cabin Cruiser docked in the lagoon.

Once you enter the tasting “barn,” you realize that it is actually a very stylish space with flagstone floors, elegant chandeliers, a mahogany-topped tasting bar and wine-colored walls. Snacks of cheeses and crackers accompany the tasting experience.

Young’s produces an estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Syrah, Sangiovese, Barbera and the white Rhone wine Roussanne. The winery operation is a family affair. Nancy Steel makes the wine, while Jeannie Vodden paints the exquisite labels for the winery.

Limos with appointment.
