Description
THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Join us on a special farm-to-fork bus tour of Apple Hill! This tour will feature local producers and wineries for an experience unique to El Dorado County.
We'll visit Rainbow Orchards in Camino to taste the warm cinnamon, sugary goodness of their apple doughnuts while enjoying the scenery under fruit laden trees. We will then continue on to Madrona Vineyards where oenophiles and new wine enthusiasts will be thrilled for the chance to blend wine with one of the most celebrated winemakers of the Sierra Foothills' AVA - Paul Bush! His family history of wine-making in this rugged and mountainous terroir is as revered as their wines. Bouquets, balanced textures and pleasing depths of flavor are among the discussion as Shiraz and Cabernet are blended into a bottle fulfilling each individual's taste.
Also included are snack trays from Smokey Ridge Charcuterie! Locally produced, many of their ingredients come from their Apple Hill gardens, fruit and nut orchards.
Pick ups will occur throughout town - please specify where you are located during registration.
