Wining in the Sierra Foothills

Murphys is a wine taster’s dream come true. The charming town boasts close to two dozen wineries, many located on a stretch of Main Street that’s a short stroll from the historic Murphy’s Hotel.

Established in 1978, Stevenot is one of the original wineries in Calaveras County. And yes, this is the region that inspired Mark Twain’s short story “The Jumping Frog of Calaveras County.”

 

At Allegorie, you can shop for art while you taste wine. 

 

If you like big red, don’t miss my Murphys’  favorite.

 

Need a little food to soak up all that vino? Whether you’re in the mood for seared ahi or a burger, you can’t do much better than V Restaurant, Bistro & Bar in the Victorian Inn.
