Madroña Vineyards, unique at its high elevation of 3000 feet, actually consists of three different vineyards, all owned by different branches of the Bush family. The tasting room and Madroña Vineyard are in the heart of the Apple Hill® agricultural region of El Dorado County. Two newer vineyards, Enyé and Sumu-Kaw, are located in the nearby Pleasant Valley area, ranging... More

It is rare that you find a winery with Red and White wines of equal quality. Though we can buy theses wines at the local market, it is more fun to visit the winery, talk to the tasting room staff and if Paul the winemaker/owner is around he is generous with his time and knowledge. Are favorites are the Dry... More

The Bush family not only makes superior wines but always makes their winery guests feel extra special. Their yearly events are well planned, well attended and very much enjoyed. It has been so easy for us to get to know the people who visit this wineries events. Paul is never hesitent to help you understand the harvest, wine making and... More

Another great foothill vineyard you've got to try. These small wineries have such charm and fantastic tasting goodies.

The tasting room's very cozy, nestled between the Christmas tree farm and High Hill Ranch. The main thing I don't like about this place is that, like many wineries in the area, they charge $5/person for the tastings. However, UNLIKE the other wineries, Madrona only refunds $3 if you buy wine. I know, $2 isn't much, but I'm less likely... More

Love having so many great wineries close to home - this is definitely one of them! Enjoyed the tasting immensely - all the wines were great: as good as wines you can get in Napa, but right in our own backyard.

Oh, Madrona. I've hit up this winery on two separate occasions and have loved my experiences there both times. The ladies that assisted us were so helpful and had some great tips for newbie wine drinkers. The Apple Hill area is a great place for a wine tasting excursion and Madrona is definitely a must if you're in the area.... More

This is not a review about a specific visit. We have been club members at Madrona for several years now and I wanted to write a review about them in general. Madrona has a large variety of wines of very good quality. They are very environmentally aware also. The last visit we made, they gave us the wine in reusable... More
