Tasting room open Friday to Sunday, 11 to 4 pm
We are located in the Sierra Foothills, in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, 45 Miles Southeast of Sacramento. Follow CA route 16 to Plymouth. Head east 3.5 miles on county route E-16 [ Shenandoah Road ] to Dickson Road. Turn left for one quarter mile until you see the winery on the right.
The winery began operation in the mid 1980s. This is a small family winery, but it produces two series of wines. The EASTON label features the more traditional California varietals, while the Terra Rouge label features their Rhone varietals. The winery is famous for its Syrah wines, producing four different labels. Try the Zinfandels, they are also excellent. The tasting room is new, having opened in the summer of 2002.
TERRE ROUGE and EASTON Wines is located in California on the West Slope of the Sierra Nevada in Amador County’s Shenandoah Valley. Our wines are made from vineyards in four Sierra Foothill counties: Placer, El Dorado, Amador, and Calaveras. We also source fruit from one vineyard site in the soon-to-be new Clements appellation.
The style of our wines emphasizes deep color, balanced flavors, full middle palate, and a long finish, with power and finesse. They gain complexity with age. Our goal has been to make the finest wines possible from our region – wines that transcend time and place and can be placed on the table with the best wines of the world. They are meant to be enjoyed with good food and friends.
Our winery and vineyards are at the biotic transition zone between the Foothill Oak Belt as characterized by the Sierra Foothill Woodland on the Terre Rouge label, and the Yellow Pine Belt as characterized by the Ponderosa Pine on the Easton label. We farm our vineyards sustainably and our winery derives most of its electrical power from solar panels located the roof of the main winery building.
