INTERACTIVE WINERY GUIDE

Apple Hill/Camino/Gold Hill

- All styles

- Rhone Varieties

Introduction

One might argue that Rhone varieties are the best types of wines produced in the Sierra Foothills, and we would not put up an argument. Nearly all wineries in the region produce wines with Syrah, Grenache, and/or Mourvedre. Many also produce some more obscure varieties. They are all excellent!

Now, just answer one more question, and we will rank the wineries in this region in the order we think best matches your preferences.

When visiting a winery, which of the following is most important?

A. Wine (Quality, selection, etc.)

B. Facilities (Architecture, view, etc.)

C. Hospitality (Staff, food pairings, etc.)

D. All are equally important
