Convergence Vineyards - Such an amazing winery! The wine, view, and owner were all amazing. Definitely make the stop if you're in the area - Wineries Near Me - Plymouth, California

It's a shame it took me so long to review Convergence Vineyards. They are part of the fun and funky west side of Amador County wine country and are a great alternative to the stuffy and crowded options further up the hill. The tasting room has decent parking, but you will get some dust on that pristine truck or SUV. Convergence has a large selection of varietals from the region. Zinfandel has always been a classic Amador option, but Barbera and Primitivo have been slowly gaining traction. You can discuss this in person with the owner in their cozy tasting room with a spectacular view of the foothill vineyards. Make sure to pet the dogs! The wine is good to very good with lots of options for everyone. They refund the tasting fee with purchase and have glass and bottle options. You do need to go a little off the usual path to find the winery, but they are just off the highway. Convergence has always been a favorite in the area with a tough location. The winery is just cute with great views and better wine. Skip the crowds and have a fun time here instead. read more

Convergence Vineyards - Winery Exterior - Wineries Near Me - Plymouth, California

On a recent weekend trip with two of my best friends, we went wine tasting in Amador County. Convergence was definitely my favorite stop of the day. I was driving so I sampled a limited amount of what they have to offer but I did buy a bottle of their Sav Blanc and a bottle of their Barbara to enjoy at a later time, when I don't have to drive. Another highlight was their Mister Bubbles, a delightful, smooth bubbly that we sipped on back at the cabin. Family run, this winery is pleasant and inviting. We were greeted outside and then directed inside. The day we visited, one of the owners, who is also a cookbook author, was sharing three different appetizers. The appetizers were all delicious and paired nicely with their wines. There is a 10% discount coupon in a local guide but they were also offering a number of discounts on specific varietals and half and full cases. Most wines are between $15 - $30. The winery sits on beautiful land so this is also a nice place to capture some images of your trip through the area. read more

Mr. Bubbles is no longer for kids! If you don't get the reference, you're probably not an 80's kid that took bubble baths! Our first stop for our girls adventure! Our limo driver had stocked us with a bottle of Mr. Bubbles, sparking wine, to get our party started - which is exactly what it did. We all fell in love...the next thing you know, we arrive at our first stop...and its the Home of Mr. Bubbles :) The husband and wife duo were so sweet! The eight of us have a good time on our own and can be loud, but these two took us in with open arms. Not to mention, River, their handsome dog was super sweet too. Off the beaten path, this winery sits where 3 rivers meet...hence the name of the winery. A little educational tidbit they schooled us on. Their wines were delicious, but nothing topped the Mr. Bubbles for me. My pallet is not as refined as most boughie's would be, so I'm not hard to please. Every tasting I had was delicious, but I do remember really liking their Sav Blanc, which I normally am not a fan of - they've changed my ways! The give a 2% discount if you pay with cash & if you buy 6 bottles or more you also get a discount. I love the adult version of Mr. Bubbles... read more

We happened on this place. The owner was welcoming and informative, not pretentious at all. We learned more about winemaking than all previous winery visits before. The tasting room is rustic but the broader setting is beautiful. read more

I can't say enough good things about Convergence Vineyards! We passed it on our way in and made a note to be sure to try it sometime over the weekend. The tasting room is located in a lovely bucolic setting. I fell in love with the countryside but didn't have a clue that I'd do the same with the wines. We were lucky to have arrived when the tasting room was quiet on a holiday (Valentines) weekend; we had the warm and personable vintners all to ourselves. Steve and Jamie were excellent hosts and their beautiful Goldens were as friendly as their owners! We tasted their wines as they told us much about their history and the wine making process. It is rare that I enjoy all the wines when tasting, and even more rare that I buy more than a bottle or two, BUT we invested in half a case and wished for more. We went on to try a few of the other wineries in the area but Mr. S and I kept talking about how much we enjoyed our previous tasting experience. Finally we just shook our heads, turned the car around and headed back to Convergence. Jamie and Steve were busy with a crowd of tasters but smiled warmly as we returned, knowing we were back to do more than taste. Jamie making time for us, took us aside and we did a bit more tasting as we signed up to become "Groupies" and loaded a full case into the car next to our half a case. My Valentine knows what I like and he did a fine job of providing me with enough wine to keep me happy until our next shipment comes in! I look forward to enjoying these wines, along with the spices and recipes that are included with the club membership, for many years to come. read more

We loved this winery! There are new owners and they have taken over the business with enthusiasm and passion. The wines were some of the best we tasted in the area. Don't miss this one! read more

We were here for behind the cellar door weekend. Felt like we were an inconvenience. Poor service. Would have bought a bottle , but never got waited on. Only 2 other groups there Sunday at 3. Avoid this place. Many other great wineries in the area. read more

I found this lovely family run winery online and had to try it with some friends on a summer day. Good stuff we bought: Primitivo *(a fruitier version of Zinfandel and a perfect grape for this area). Ranger (GPM) - Grenache, Petite Syrah, Mourvedre - ya crazy and smart Tempranillo - his star attraction in my book, and yes they know that :) The Tempranillo if you are looking for that is the real winner. You might just walk out with a case. The wine is very ripe with lots of tannins which is common for the foothills. But the finish on the Tempranillo and with a big dish, will send you to another planet. The notable white was crisp and delicious, a Malvasia . ... which Tanis nearby also produces with a bit more complexity and fruit over there. This place is a lovely ~100 acre property and I don't think you can see a neighbor house anywhere. So awesome seclusion and the tasting room is surrounded by awesome blocks of vines. It has a few choice picnic tables under the oaks which are 5 star for sure. read more

Great little winery in Amador County! The winemakers, Stephen and Jamie, and extremely knowledgable and put great thought into their award-winning wines. Their Tempranillo is a Double-Gold and not to be missed. They also have a phenomenal Rhone Blend. Put this winery on your Amador rotation! It's a little bit removed from the crowds down the road, but worth the 5 minutes further to check it out. Cheers! read more

This was our first stop in our Amador wine tasting tour and one of the highlights. The winemakers were on vacation and the mom was taking care of the pets, garden, and wine. She was fantastic! She knew so much about the wine and was willing to share stories about the property. All the wines we tried were good. My girlfriend and I settled on the Petite Sirah 2008 Cooper Ranch, but wanted to buy many more. We highly recommend stopping here. read more

One of the winery gems in Amador Country. After wine tasting here, I have no need to go to Napa. They produce some wonderful reds; I purchased a $35 zinfandel port, and I'm usually a under $10 gal. Sure, Convergance was my fifth winery of the day, but it was delicious and I'm worth it! They also have a terrific raspberry zinfandel chocolate sauce. I think I'll pour myself a glass of that! read more

Stopped here on our way to Plymouth...he owners were both there with their beautiful golden retriever pups! We sampled all of their delicious wines and we were even encouraged to sample with pairings from ice cream to sherbert...we bought the port wine which was so smooth and delicious! Gonna entertain some friends when we get back home with this!!! They even recommended more stops along our way! So great full for the tips! Such nice people!!! read more

Convergence Vineyards - Ice cream and wine pairing Saturday & Sundays in August! - Wineries Near Me - Plymouth, California

We arrived here on Saturday, 12/19/15. Steve and his lovely wife were very welcoming. Steve is very knowledgeable about his wines and surrounding vineyards. We have become members because the wine is DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELICOUS! I must say, Maverick and River, their Gold Retrievers won my heart over. Especially when they fetched the cork when the champagne was popped open- wish I could post the video of it. Here I thought I got excited when a bottle of bubbly was popped, lol. Great place to come. We will be back. Thanks for the pretzels and chocolate deliciousness. read more

Wow! You've got to try this place. Not next door to other wineries, but well worth the stop. Loved every wine. Very unique wine club with ascending discounts. Very casual and welcoming. Delicious, fun, & pleasurable. Will be back! read more

This place is so warm and welcoming. Wines are amazing (tasted many) and the owners are the nicest people. No limos allowed and that makes it so nice to just drive in slow (going through vineyard so no dust on grapes) and plenty of parking. Clean restroom and just beautiful location. Go enjoy! read more

First time AND we are definitely coming back. Got to spend quality time with owners while enjoying GREAT wines.

We planned a quick trip to Plymouth last weekend and decided we'd make Convergence our first stop because we specifically wanted to taste their Mr. Bubbles champagne. To my happy surprise we were greeted by winery dogs Maverick and River, two beautiful and lovable golden retrievers (you know I love a winery dog/cat). This seemed like my kinda place for sure until I mentioned to Jamie, the owner/wife of the winemaker, we were eager to try their champagne. She proceeded to tell us she had a specific list of wines available to taste that particular Saturday (not mid-week mind you) and the champagne was not on the list and she was just not going to open it for us. She was happy to sell us the champagne but simply refused to open one for tasting. So disappointing. Next time I am in the mood for champagne "locally" it won't be Convergence that is on my list but rather McConnell in Elk Grove. read more

Lovely small vineyard with a nice variety of red wines. My favorites were the cabernet and the port. Owners are down to earth and friendly. Definitely worth a visit. read more

I cannot help but go out of my way to find an opportunity to visit Convergence. Not only is the wine exceptional, the owners are the most amazing people in this world! They always remember us, even though we only pass by 2 times a year. They are on the top of our list of best wineries to visit. They have some amazing red wines - and that port... licking my lips and begging for more. When you go, give those precious puppies hugs too! read more

2nd stop on our Amador wine trip. the wine descriptions alone would make me step in and try everything, but they had me at Mister Bubbles: not too dry, not too sweet, and goes down very easily. their Sauvignon Blanc was another flavorful wine that kept on giving even after the last drop. when you think it doesn't get any better, yes they have a port chocolate raspberry sauce perfect for anything you can cover with chocolate. not only did Jamie share their amazing award winning wines with us but happily told us the history of their winery name, details about each wine, and held a relaxed and super funny conversation. definitely another addition to the so far perfect Amador wine tour. read more

Thank you Convergence! Super friendly and my first Amador County stop of the weekend. Great wines, tasty oh-so-tasty port! Very friendly and willing to give some great suggestions of other local tasting rooms to go to. read more

Good wines, great owners and darling dogs! This was our best experience in Amador County! We will be back for sure!

Convergence is, in my opinion, the best winery in the Ione area. The whites, like the Sauvignon Blanc, are excellent, and the reds particularly delicious. I really enjoyed their Barbera and their Petit Sirah. The winemakers are friendly, knowledgable and generous. The prices are reasonable. Definitely worth the stop. read more

Beautiful vineyard, owner was manning the tasting room and was very knowledgeable of not only his wines but Californian wine history. I highly recommend for anyone venturing into the Plymouth wine country. read more

I was first introduced to the this winery at a small tasting room in Amador City. On first trip back, I decided to visit the place directly. It is clear that the owners love what they do. On the day I did go, HA, the owners were just finishing cleaning up a flat-skunk from the road in front of their place. Their wine still performed well and I left with a case of various vintages. I yet to drink them all yet so we will see. It has been a good start. read more

This place is awesome! We are on a two day wine tasting trip with some friends throughout Amador county. Out of the 5 wineries we have been to, this one is by far the best. My friends and I bought one of everything! Amazing nose to all of the wines, and it was a pleasure chatting with Jaime, the owner. read more

Wow. Wines speak for themselves But we loved talking to the winemakers. What a great experience. They won alot of awards. I bought the tempranillo and the zinrah. read more

Family owned and operated. Laid back tasting. Their Mr. Bubbles sparkling was my favorite that we tasted.

Convergence is a great little boutique winery located in Amador County. The wines consistently win awards at all of the California wine competitions. Several have won double gold, best in class and best of show awards. Steve and Jamie Concannon will make you feel welcome and will teach you a lot about wine and food pairing. They are only open Fridays through Sundays. check their web site for info on current pairings. They always do an ice cream and wine pairing in August. read more

What a treat! Has no idea there were so many wineries near Sutter Creek! This was a real find. Loved every bottle we tasted. Bought a case. The reds are all full flavored winners. Then we got to the port....oh, my! THE BEST port we have ever had at a winery!! The owners really know wine and happily share their knowledge with you. Not snooty! Who needs Napa?! Its no wonder they are medal winners! And River the dog....sweet! read more

Very good wine and a nice setting. They are off the beaten path a bit but well worth the visit. The owner/winemaker Steve is very knowledgeable and friendly. Wines across the board are very solid. Very close to giving it 5 stars... read more

For my birthday, 3 friends and I went to Amador county for a wine trip. We got a car service to take us around and the first stop we went to was Convergence Vineyards. We pulled up to the tasting room and the owner came out to talk to our driver. He said we couldn't be there and demanded we leave. The owner reached into the window of our vehicle and attempted to grab our driver. We tried to leave by backing up and making a three point turn but the owner stood behind our vehicle and blocked us. The owner's wife ran out and started yelling at us; chasing us down the road as we left. It was a horrifying first stop on our wine trip. I didn't understand what we did wrong or why the owner was so upset with us that he would result to violence. Their sign said they were open and they had nothing on their website saying we weren't allowed. I write this as a warning to others: do not go to this winery, these people are crazy! read more

I LOVE this place. We are from Connecticut and we were so impressed with the quality, taste and body of the wine that we joined their wine club. Now every May and November, Steve and Jamie ship us a case of assorted wines...its like Christmas for wine lovers...you never know what will be in the case and they are all wonderful wines! Jamie even includes a recipe and they are great too! What a find and not to be missed. Can't wait to go back..hmmmmmmmmmmm! read more
