Findleton Estate & Winery

Hours: Year Round

Findleton Estate Winery & Vineyard is a small, family owned boutique style winery. 

Voted "Best Kept Secret in El Dorado County" Findleton Estate Winery strives to produce high quality wines at affordable prices.

You can taste the award winning wines of Tom Findleton, at their charming tasting room located at 3500 Carson Road, Camino CA.  There you can taste a selection from over 18 varietals of wine while enjoying a "Fine Art Gallery" experience as the Tasting Room Showcases the work of Pamela Findleton.  Findleton Estate Winery produces approximately 2,500 cases of wine per year. Located at 3000 foot elevation, in the Sierra Foothills of El Dorado County, Findleton has a  unique vineyard site that provides a"micro-climate." Their Estate Pinot noir is grown creekside, with cool air flow from the mountains, and well drained, chalky soils.  This site, previously referred to as "Pneumonia Gulch" by the early settlers, has proven to be ideal for growing Pinot noir and the wine has qualities similar to the Pinot noir's found in Burgandy, France.

Findleton states,"We believe that wine is a product of the terroir, climate, vintage, and winemaking."  Aside from their Estate Pinot noir, Findleton purchases local fruit from viticulturists who share his philosophy, and maintain a high level of attention to detail. "Our focus is on producing small lots of wines of the highest quality possible, which reflect both the vineyard and the individuals behind  the winemaking."
