Iron Hub Winery

Iron Hub Winery is owned and operated by Tom and Beth Jones and their children. Tom was the founding winemaker of Lava Cap Winery in the Apple Hill area near Placerville, CA after completing his Master Degree (Viticulture & Enology) at University of California, Davis.
He developed Lava Cap Winery’s style of award-winning wines for almost 30 years and left mid-2013 to begin new endeavors.

Young’s Vineyard

The beautiful and historic Shenandoah Valley of Amador County is one of the oldest non-Spanish farming
communities in California. The easy gold found early during the Gold Rush soon was exhausted and the miners realized that their fortune would more likely be made in a more traditional manner – farming. Grapes were planted as early as the 1850sand the valley’s reputation for “liquid gold” has been growing since.
We invite you to visit Young’s, to taste our award winning wines. Enjoy a picnic and take a stroll around the gorgeous grounds. We are known for our stunning yet unpretentious gardens. It is a place where time stands still.

Shenandoah Vineyards

Shenandoah Vineyards in Plymouth, CA, was founded in 1977 by Shirley and Leon Sobon.
Leon and Shirley Sobon founded Shenandoah Vineyards in 1977. They were one of the first four wineries in Amador County’s now well known Shenandoah Valley appellation.
From the first offering of 1,200 cases, the winery has continued to thrive, adjusting the portfolio of wines over the years. It is now producing about 25,000 cases per year. Demand continues to grow as a result of skilled winemaking, marketing, and strong family commitments to quality and service. Today, we continue to use estate grown grapes from our sustainably-farmed vineyards.
