In Amador County, we celebrate the holidays the right way!

Food and drinks, live music and stage productions, flea markets, wine tastings and light shows, Santa sightings, and more. By avoiding those massive crowds of Napa or Sonoma Valley, visitors to Amador County can enjoy a more relaxed, authentic holiday experience.

And make sure you stop by for some special wine tastings and other unique events at Scott Harvey Wines.
