Wine Tasting

Besides the excellent wines, there are many other reasons why Calaveras County should be on the map for anyone who loves fine vintage. Stop in at any of the wineries for free wine tasting. Meet the winery owners and the winemakers to learn all about the wines they offer. Each of the wineries has its own personality and its own specialty wines.

Many of the wineries have tasting rooms in downtown Murphys, enabling you to walk from tasting room to tasting room, while strolling through gift and antique shops and dining at fine restaurants. Visit www.calaveraswines.org for more details.

  • Twisted Oak Winery produces award-winning wines made from grapes you have never heard of, grapes that grow really well in the foothills and taste pretty damn yummy. Grapes like Viognier, Tempranillo, Verdelho, Grenache, and Murgatroyd. We lied, that last one isn’t a grape …We have two locations (both strangely overrun with rubber chickens).  The winery is opened daily at 4280 Red Hill Road at Highway 4 in Vallecito (between Angels Camp and Murphys); and in Murphys at 350 Main Street, open Thursday through Sunday.
