Ended up at this wine tasting room with some friends and was really looking forward to being there. The ambiance was strangely dark & cold on the day we were there and many of the display items were covered in dust and spider webs. The wines were nice, but the wine maker was a bit off-putting and made me feel like he didn't care if we purchased anything or not. I may go back one more time just in case he was having a bad day. If you're in this area with nothing to do, it's a nice stop to sit, rest and taste a little wine. read more

24 Brix has delicious wine and a quaint homey feel. Don't miss this little spot on your way thru Shenandoah wine country. Go see Ms. Lena for a delicious tasting of red and white wine ($15 - fee waived with bottle purchase) I loved the Chardonnay, Barbera and Zin personally. Definitely worth the stop in especially being pro Military and LEO, definitely my kind of establishment. Ms. Lena was knowledgeable and so pleasant to talk with. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. They also had dark chocolate Hershey kisses to try with your wines and heaters inside to keep you toasty! Would definitely go back! read more

If you want the best tasting experience in Shenandoah Valley this is the place to visit. The parking is right next to the tasting room. Inside is very inviting, the wine maker/owner was the person who waited on us. We asked the owner Paul many questions, he was very knowledgeable and fun to talk with. Ask him how he got the name of the winery, enjoyed the story. The wine was very tasty, bought three different wines and signed up for their wine club. My mother-in-law doesn't like red win but enjoyed tasting their wines. I will suggest to everyone I know who is visiting Pioneer to taste wine and take some home. read more

While checking in on family up in the Eldorado Mountains during the SIP during CoVID, we saw this place on the way in...so glad we stopped in on the way out. They were ready to close when we pulled in but the cool dude came up, said they were ready to close but we could go in and purchase. Hang out on patio with our bottle was allowed ---all at safe distances but we had to boogey. Dog friendly as we saw two pooches and was bummed as we had our pup with us but we just had a journey. Well I went in there and went to town...I got a 6 pack, a few bottles to drive home with...and was like...give me a full case to ship. Support the small wineries and even though I didn't get a chance to taste all the wines I bought, Paul was very informative along with his colleague...and I just trusted them in their opinions on what to get. Unfortunately no pictures but a really cool place to stop in. We did taste the Sauvignon Blanc and it was very crisp with a lingering apple finish. I dunno if it's Apple finish really but it would pair great with some spicy foods! Definitely can't wait to get home and try their wines!! They have wine keys with their names alongside with the 24 Brix hat but didn't see hats for sale...definitely need to find out about that. read more

We visited the tasting room on Valentines Day and had a great time. Walking in, the tasting room is on the smaller side, little lights twinkled above everywhere with inside heaters that set the romantic vibe. It was so nice and toasty inside since it was so cold outside. There is a bar and wine barrels that served as tables with bar stools for extra seating. I should have gotten the gentlemen's name that was holding down the fort solo but he did a great job!! While pouring and educating us on the wine we were tasting, he brought chocolate coveted strawberries for everyone and seranaded the crowd with singing some tunes and playing his guitar. He was an awesome, entertaining host and he's worth visiting again. Now the wine....we had 6 to taste, white and red and enjoyed 3 out of 6 and purchased two bottles that removed the $10 tasting fee per person. The Barbera was $31 and I believe the Chardonnay was $29 and both totally worth the price. We will be back for sure!! read more

We went up camping in Plymouth at the 49er recently, just 40 minutes from home, but enough to get away during these covid times. We decided to go to this winery that is very close. It's literally the first winery once you hit Plymouth on 49 and if you blink you will miss it, and now I know that missing it has been a travesty. We were luckily able to taste and we tasted with the owner Paul who takes such pride in his work. He has his wine list and he takes such care with each that it is noticeable and enjoyable. He will tell you all about them, and hang out with you, it's a nice respite in these darker days. Each wine is full bodied. No fluff, no filler, just like Paul. The distinct profile of each is enjoyable and as you go from one to the next you can see his tasting menu is as ingeniously crafted as his wine. While this is a business, it feels more than that, Paul has made this an art form truly. No mass production, no loss of quality. It's truly a gem and set apart from the other wineries not only by location, but by the heart put into it. Make sure when you head up that hill, not to miss this great one! read more

24 Brix Wines refers to the sugar content of the wine before fermentation. The owner and winemaker wants a consistent feel to his Wines and keeps them all to this brix in his new and unique winery on Highway 49 at the southern end of Plymouth. This winery features many varietals from throughout California including Lake County and Livermore Valley. The tasting room is in the barrel room making for a cool and dark experience. I found the wine to be typical of most wineries in the region, especially if you enjoy Syrah. This is more of a purist location lacking the frills and opulence of other Amador wineries. It is a convenient stop on your journey with the ability to sample atypical Amador wine. read more

What a great experience and delicious wines. Paul was awesome in explaining history, the making of and what the wines were all about. Answered numerous questions and offered so much more than just a tasting! We had a fairly large group of 13 and can be hard to reign in but Paul took command with ease and humor (because I was truly interested in learning about his wines). He made it so we were all engaged in the information and stories about his wines and others and what they mean. Great ambience, great people and best of all GREAT WINES! Don't miss out on the experience here. We will be back for sure. Thank you Paul from all of us. read more

If you have driven by 24 Brix time after time, as i did, STOP! I can't stress enough what a hidden gem 24 Brix is. We were recently in Plymouth to make our last pick up and cancel our membership from a winery that sold out to a major brand. And on the way out of town decided to stop since at 24 Brix had good reviews. The wines are vinted in old world style. No concentrates and wines able to stand the test of time. A true connoisseur's wine. The Vintner is a team of two individuals that truly understand what wine should be. Please, PLEASE stop and check it out for yourself. And ask to speak to Paul. A genuine individual that feels a person's experience with his wine is unique and personal. read more

The owners son was calling his employees out very loudly about pours, or lord knows what. He clearly drunk and continued to pour himself several glasses of wine. Long story short, I felt very uncomfortable and on edge. There are better options places with better vibes and wines. Wish we could leave a better review but there was very few redeeming qualities with this place. Will not be going back and wouldn't recommend this place.

This sweet little tasting room opened in February 2016. Located along Highway 49, it is easily accessible. The owner/winemaker Paul is very welcoming and friendly. $10 tasting fee, which is waived with purchase, but even if you don't buy some wine (highly unlikely), the fee is worth the taste. I loved each of the wines, all made with natural yeast. The Zinfandel was nice and light, a delightful change from other zins I've tasted recently. I left with a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc from sustainably farmed grapes that were aged in seasoned French oak barrels. More substantial than most sauvs, with a smooth finish, just perfectly balanced. This tasting room will go on my list of favorites. read more

In my opinion, they are doing so many things to enhance the wine tasting experience, it could blow away the competition. Examples are as follows: 1. Rebuilding, refinishing and updating the tasting room and facility. 2. Hiring the former Sous Chef from Taste restaurant to create food offerings/pairings and provide a small bite sample with wine tasting. 3. Display unique and unusual art in and around the property. (They have seven full size panels from the Berlin Wall adjacent to the tasting room.) 4. Staff is exceptionally friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. 5. The wine pricing is reasonable when compared to the quality. 6. Both the food and wine are excellent. That said, I think the one possible stumbling point could be their attempt to blend in their east coast sister wines and styles with this region. It might be an interesting idea, but I am uncertain people locally will appreciate or understand the effort. The Amador wine region is not Napa Valley, and I don't think it possesses the international appeal, notoriety or demographics that will support the concept of bi-coastal wines. In any event, we will return to further experience the ongoing evolution of this remarkable winery.

It is quite big and open. I think someone can host an outdoor concert or a wedding. We got to taste about five type of wines (Sauvignon Blanc and few blended red wine). They were all good. I particularly like the 2020 Interlude and purchased a bottle for my sister. We also got to sample from their gallery collection library club that's like 20+ years old ( I forgot the exact year) and that was special. They also have dumplings and spring rolls for purchase. I skip that because I wasn't sure if that would go with the wine. We bought some cheese with us and we had that with our wine. Of course, we asked for permission before bringing in our own cheese and crackers. The gentleman that served us was really nice and friendly. We didn't feel rushed and wine was poured at a good pace. I do want to mention that most winery at Amador will comp at least one tasting with purchase, but not at Di Arie. If you're not a member, be prepared to pay the full wine tasting fee per person.

The tastings come with complimentary snacks. We chatted with the owner quite a bit (mostly commiserating about the red tape and ridiculous regulations in the state for farmers). It was clear they are living out their dream and doing what they love. The wine wasn't our favorite to be honest, but the atmosphere and the owners were so much fun, wednesday come back for the experience!

We enjoyed a glass on the patio in back which was quite crowded on a Sunday, and loud. I do not understand why people need to be in a bunch and carry on in an annoyingly loud way with others around wanting to experience a quality tasting, yet not the business's fault. Undoubtedly the drinking doesn't help. Service was good and informative. This is a great little winery to taste some quality wine, the Sauvignon Blanc being a favorite here.

Save those tasty bites for the perfect duet. And let's talk about Candace. She's not just selling merchandise; she's practically a maestro of wine vibes. Engaging, cool, and armed with knowledge that'll make your head spin (in the best way). Trust me, if you're looking for more than just a sip, Wilderotter is where it's at. Cheers to sipping and learning!

Apparently, this is the related winery to Villa Toscano located nearby, which we had previously visited. Once again, I found myself a fan of this place also! It too, is surrounded by eye pleasing countryside views, with lovely ponds, fountains, flowers and comfortable seating areas along the outdoor patios. The entrance opens into a large room where the tasting counter is at the far end. But before getting there, you are tempted on the way over to browse the retail area which features home decor, artwork, designer accessories, and clever wine connoisseur gifts. The walls are decorated with assorted flags and a family style crest over the focal point of the wine tasting bar. The wines offered on the wine tasting list were similar to what we had tried before at Villa Toscano. But we ordered another $5.00 flight that included our favorites along with a few we hadn't tried yet. We enjoyed the flavor variations, but had a hard time deciding on what to purchase, so we went outside for a while to take in the scenery and discuss which ones we liked the best. Bella Piazza also offers a wine club membership that includes discounts on wine, other products and a free lunch buffet every weekend. This is another nice little winery to spend time with family and friends!

Super affordable!! The staff were always so attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. I loved that they did full service pours. It made the experience feel extra special. I've really been enjoying the 2023 wines lately. There are so many great ones from that year! Many options available here (as of November 2025). ※ My Favorites (as of Nov 2025): * 2023 Pinot Noir - absolutely my top pick. It pairs perfectly with the apricot! * 2022 Sangiovese - amazing with cheese. Even my husband, who normally prefers white wine, really enjoys the reds here.:)
