If you are looking for a unique wine tasting vacation, look no further than El Dorado County. This lesser-known wine region is home to some amazing Rhone varietals, is a bit closer than Napa (if flying into Sacramento) and far cheaper than the Napa Valley estates!

While there aren’t a ton of vacation rentals in the Placerville area, the ones you’ll find are almost always unique and reasonably cost effective!

Check out the review on the hidden gem we recently stayed at. With a beautiful wrap-around porch and easy river access, this home hidden among the oaks and pines was a very cool find!
