Wine Tasting in Nevada CountyExplore Nevada Country WineriesNevada County vineyards benefit from air moving in from the Pacific Coast into the Sierra Nevada Mountains. These ocean breezes result in warm autumn days and cool nights. This gives grape growers more time to let the grapes ripen on the vine, allowing grapes to be full of rich, balanced, flavor by the time they are picked.
You are sure to enjoy tasting the mountain grown wines of Nevada County. You may want to stay an extra day or two to have time for activities such as gold panning, skiiing, whitewater rafting, fishing, boating, hiking, golfing, and horseback riding. We hope you can use the following list of wineries in Nevada County to help plan your next California wine tour.
