Amador County, California
In the heart of California’s Gold Country, Amador County is a slice of history with a side of wine. The county was named after José María Amador, a wealthy rancher and miner.
Located in the Sierra Nevada foothills, it’s an easy drive from Sacramento via Highway 16. The town of Jackson serves as the county seat, holding onto its Gold Rush roots with pride.
Sutter Creek is a postcard-perfect spot with historic buildings. But it’s not just about the past. Amador is also known for its Zinfandel wine. Don’t miss the annual Amador County Fair because it’s a hoot.
