Get a Taste of the Madera Wine Trail

Visit friendly family wineries in the heart of California.

The family-run wineries of the Madera Wine Trail welcome guests to experience high-quality hand-crafted wines in intimate tasting rooms where the nice guy pouring your wine in is also the winemaker. That's friendly. In addition to wine-tasting throughout the year, a dozen wineries along the route hold special events that celebrate the harvest and the holidays. Most of the wineries are conveniently located along the State 99 corridor, and all ae within a few minutes' drive from one another. As with any wine-country experience, make sure you drive along this unique stretch of wineries responsibly and designate a driver.
