While on vacation in California, Aaron & Cherie Hill fell in love with the wines and the landscape of El Dorado County. After spending their entire lives in Alaska, they moved to California to pursue this dream of making some of the Sierra Foothills finest wines from the area’s best vineyards.

Please check winery website for days and hours of operation.
