Plymouth,
California
Elevation: 1086 feetLocated on Historic Highway 49, Plymouth is
in the heart of Gold Country and is the perfect place to stay when visiting the
beautiful Shenandoah Valley, Amador County's Wine Region.
Amador County is now home to over 30
wineries. Many are situated on scenic back roads in some of the most
picturesque rural terrain in California. Most Amador wineries are small
family operations.
You are likely to meet the owner and
unpretentious hospitality is the norm. While Amador County is justly famous
for its Zinfandel wines, new Mediterranean varieties native to Italy and
Southern France are beginning to make a fine showing and are becoming common
in area tasting rooms. The town of
Plymouth is at the north end of Amador County. In the 1850s Plymouth and nearby
Pokerville grew up side by side. The Plymouth Consolidated Mine produces over
$13 million in gold. Remaining today is the Empire building, once the mining
company's brick office.
North of Plymouth you'll find Nashville, once called Quartzburg, one of
California's earliest quartz-mining districts. The first stamp mill in the
Mother Lode operated in Nashville.
Plymouth is the site of the Amador County Fairgrounds and is now considered the
gateway to the many wineries in the Shenandoah Valley. Accommodations and
camping are available.
