Madroña Vineyards - Established in 1973, Madroña Vineyards expresses the essence of farming and winemaking as it has always been in El Dorado County - honest and rewarding. It is a place where time slows to the rhythm of nature and where the traditions of grape growing and winemaking are yours to discover. We embrace the balance that our high elevation vineyards express, specializing in Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Riesling and Zinfandel. Our exceptional wines are a reflection of this special place and are meant to be enjoyed at table with family and friends.
