Pull out all the stops!

This weekend is the beginning of Passport, El Dorado Winery Associations, annual event where they give you a passport for tasting and sampling yummy goodies, listening to music and enjoying a lovely weekend in beautiful El Dorado County.  And this is just the first weekend...they do it again in a week!

If you are looking for a great time, great wine, come visit us in Placerville this weekend.

Oh yeah, we still have one room left for this first weekend...the others have been sold out for months.

G is for Geocaching...and David Girard Vineyards

Yep, they really do go together....as one of my passions is geocaching and the other is wine, I have been guilty of mixing the two at this winery....yes there is a cache there, but the real find is the wine.

Our favorite is the
2006 COEUR ROUGE
El Dorado-Estate Vineyard

This blend creates an elegant impression of fruit. A very lush and velvety mouthfeel seamlessly delivers big fruit. Framed by granitic tannis that expand with a never ending finish. Over time this wine expresess many nuances of spice and meat. Aged in 2 & 3 year old French oak for 18 months.

Enjoy the wine tasting year round at David Girard Vineyards

11:00am - 5:00pm Open daily!
