Visit Amador County

Golden discoveries. Discover the serenity of Amador County… where sounds of footsteps on the boardwalks echo off the overhanging balconies. Lean on a hitching post, where dirt once supported the hooves of horses. Imagine a time past, yet preserved, in the small communities that still dot these rolling hills. 

Adventure awaits! Elevations from 200 feet to 9,000 feet make Amador County an endless playground anytime of the year. Amador is an oasis of relaxation, history and fun.

Staying in style. Pitch your tent in a campground along a stream & pan for gold just as the first settlers did, or sweetly slumber in a historic home on a feather bed surrounded by modern luxuries.

Food for thought. A stroll though Amador's communities will lead you to locally owned restaurants and cafes, each with a unique flavor.

Sin with the Zin! The silenced mines of Amador County have been replaced with world-class wines of the Shenandoah Valley and Amador County.
