Established in 1994, David Girard Vineyards sits one-mile from the gold discovery site at Sutter's Mill in Coloma. Our Estate is primarily dedicated to the planting and cultivation of Rhone varieties. We make distinctive and elegant Rhone-inspired wines known for their balance and complexity, in small, handcrafted lots that aim to express the unique qualities of our terroir.
We believe that excellence in wine comes not from manipulation in the cellar but from rigor in the vineyard. We grow grapes that have a home in the greater Rhone Valley in France, including: Counoise, Grenache, Grenache Blanc, Marsanne, Mourvedre, Rolle, Roussanne, Syrah, and Voignier.
To provide a memorable wine-tasting experience, guests are invited to schedule a visit by calling our Tasting Room at 530-295-1833. Regular business hours are from 11 am to 5 pm, Thursday through Monday.
From Sacramento: Travel east on Hwy. 50 to Placerville and turn left onto Hwy. 49. Go approximately 8 miles to Cold Springs Rd. and turn left. The vineyard is approximately one mile on the left.
