Cupcake was fun. That was our tasting host's nickname…read more It was Nevada Day weekend and every winery is swamped for three day. But Cupcake was a pouring genius and making everyone welcome. The tasting room and wine shop has a bit of an Italian villa vibe. The huge back lawn was beautiful. We chose to stay inside since outside service was limited that day. The bottle labels and wine names were entertaining in themselves. With an extensive list it was hard to choose a few to try. I started with three of their five sparkling wines. The Almond, the Peach, and the Strawberry. I have an office full of girls that enjoy their sweet bubbles. So they got some that day. For me, I like the reds. Julie Ann Barbera, Sienna Mourvedre, Morgan's Nebbiolo, and Naughty Bawdy. All great, but Naughty you have to try on label and name alone. Plenty of parking in the front.

We were in town for the weekend on a wine trip with friends and everywhere we went, we heard about…read moreCooper Vineyards. So of course we had to make a visit to their tasting room. It's a beautiful and large winery with lots of seating inside and outside. We were warmly greeted upon arrival and were seated in their enclosed back patio. And were told that their wine tasting was complimentary! Wow! Their marsanne white and barbera were excellent. The wine tasting was fun thanks to our hostess Jane. She kept us entertained. She told us all about their winery and it's production. Unfortunately this was our 3rd winery of the day and we were pretty wined out so we only ended up buying two of their barberas. We will have to do another trip and come back.

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.:)

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.
