    Wines were okay but grounds where beautiful complimentary brie with pesto and pine nuts was a hit with our group

    My boyfriend's parents are wine enthusiasts and wine club members at Young's, so they decided to take me here and two of their other favorite wineries in Amador county. It took us about 45 minutes to drive from Sacramento, and the country roads were quite bumpy to be honest. Young's was the first winery we stopped at during my Sacramento-area wine tasting trip and it was also the most scenic. The garden was filled with plants and was quite charming. The winery was huge, however, the testing room was quite small in comparison. Right now, the owner only allows 6 people inside at a time. They decided not to take Reservations because they don't want to rush people's wine tasting experience during the pandemic. My boyfriend's mom really enjoys their rosé, so I actually had some of it the night before to ... practice? The rosé very popular and often sells out quickly each year. According to the winery, It's a bit drier than other rosés and has a nice fruity nose. On a warm summer day, it tasted very refreshing! We also tried their reds as well, which surprisingly, they don't offer any whites. They are famous for their Barbera, which has rich, heavy notes of cherry. Young's wines were all very pleasant to drink and drink them we did. My boyfriend's parents bought a few bottles to go before we went off to our second winery of the day.

    Came for a tasting and was pleasantly surprised by the liveliness of the winery! They have a variety of outdoor places to sit. Wish they had more heaters though. They also had live music and a food truck. The wine was good, but didn't leave with any bottles.

    We didn't need a reservation here so came by after picking up a charcuterie tray (from Prospect) to taste and have lunch (confirm that they are not offering food onsite when you're planning to visit - no outside food allowed when they have a food truck visiting). The view from the outdoor tables was beautiful. There were 4 wines on the tasting list for a $10 fee. Wines were all pretty good but we didn't take any home from here.

    Yesterday's Options

    My fellow yelpers must be having a totally different experience than I've had, and it's really sad. I'm not doubting their experience, but it's just simply very different than mine. First, as you arrive you can not help but notice the attention to detail that goes in to maintaining this beautiful property. They have a plethora of amazing rose bushes and every one of them seems to be producing an abundance of great looking flowers, but it's not just about the roses. They have an amazing array of quality flowers, and I'm sure that the serious horticulturist will enjoy this. You truly do understand why every weekend is booked for the rest of this summer and all of next for marriages and receptions on the property. They were setting one up yesterday as we visited. Second, I'm just happy the place is open. For years we drove be and all we saw was the 'sold out' sign on the main gate. Third, these are some of the most attractive labels in the Amador El Dorado Wine region. They are little works of art, and you are encouraged to stop for a moment and appreciate them. Lastly, the wine is worth the visit. Please don't assume that the wine is not good based on the fact that it's fourth on the list, but this is where the visit really pays off. They have a spectrum of wines to taste, and their reds, like the entire region, are the strength of their line. We bought two bottles, and loved our visit. Here's the problem, and it's a bittersweet problem for them to have. They've got a great property, they demand for their wine far outstrips the supply, they take the time to produce a great looking bottle, and now the word has gotten out. People love it. How do you possibly have all of this happen without attracting crowds. Yesterday was the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, and the crowd was big and they were setting up for a wedding while we were having our taste. It almost reminded me of Rombauer on any Saturday afternoon. What's the answer? I don't know, I'm not in the industry, but most wineries in Napa charge for their tastings. Would that keep a few folks away and improve the experience for those that want to taste? Probably, but I, for one, don't want to see that happen. So, my suggestion would be for all of us to remember that crowds happen, patience gets short, and everybody wants to have a positive experience. Grab a glass of wine here, take a stroll, enjoy the property and great people you arrived with, and slow down a bit. You can try this, or maybe you can come and taste mid-week. Beyond this, it might be as simple as re-emphasizing good quality customer service for the employees. There is no simple answer. In closing, my hope is that my fellow yelpers experiences are considered by the folks at Young's and that they work on some of the very serious issues discussed, and that they work to make every customer matter. For me, I'll be back, and I'll continue to appreciate what they are doing so well.

    Nice seating area

    First stop on our Amador County winery visit. Wow what a beautiful venue. Gorgeous bright sitting area overlooks a view reminiscent Of an Italian villa. The watch out for snakes signs made me a little nervous but alas as we went on to others realized this is a common site. Inside the small tasting room we were greeted by friendly staff and an inviting plate of crackers and a a cream cheese pesto. Not being as fond of red wine as my friends I only tried 1 wine. But my friends fell in love with the Barbera and ended up buying a couple bottles. Definitely glad we stopped as being the first winery we saw could have easily driven past. Worth your time for sure.

    Very welcoming staff and lovely grounds. The wines were are excellent. I should have picked up the rose but I didn't want to buy the first wine I tasted. Oh well gives me a reason to go back. So many great areas outside to take pictures and again the wines were tasty too.

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.

I had to show them the email confirmation. It was fine and we were still able to sit down right away. The inside wine tasting room is kind of small but the outdoor patio and area makes up for it. 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.

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.
