A six acre organic vineyard & natural winery on 21 acres awaits you at Gold Dust Vineyard. A working natural winery and cidery, come enjoy a glass, relax in the breezes at 2’700 feet. Decomposed granite soils and high elevation make for sweeping views and even better natural wine and cider! We welcome guests year round! Surrounded by nature, there is so much to do! Up in the Foothills, we experience all four seasons! Come relax☮️ March - May 🌸Don’t miss the wildflowers & babbling brooks, steams & rivers June - September 🏞Swimming in the Consumnes River or paddle boarding at Jenkinson Lake September - December 🍂🍁Fall foliage, wine harvest, apple picking and alpaca petting December - March ❄️⛷Snowy hikes, mushroom hunting and quick trips to South Lake Tahoe We accept reservations for wine and cider tastings and typically host guests between the hours of 11 am and 5 pm. Occasionally, during very hot and busy holiday weekends, we will host an evening tasting. We have running water on the side of the winery building. Please note, we are a mom and pop shop with just two of us and our young son running the show. We live on site in a tiny house and use the tasting area as our 'back yard' during off hours. We ask that guests please respect our area and off hours requests. We do not permit live fires or generators.

Mountain tent camping at a vineyard
Great site, beautiful sunsets, Aaron was a fantastic host and shared with us his amazing wines. Spent one day at Sly Park Recreation Area, about a 20min drive. Fun hikes and lake activities! Also stopped at the nearby river for a chilly dip. Highly recommend this host.

We were warmly welcomed by the host. He offered us a generous wine tasting and is very knowledgeable about his wines. I can't recommend this place enough!

Happy Campers on a Vineyard
We had such a wonderful experience at this space! The wine tasting we purchased with a view of the winery was spectacular and the host was kind, knowledgeable, and so friendly. The campsite itself is really pretty and close to the winery would 100% come back again! I would also highly recommend trying their ciders, I’m not usually a cider fan, but these ciders are out of this world!

Shaded RV Camping at a Vineyard
The value is the vineyard + river
Clean chemical toilets, the area is not really flat so there's some hazle there to find the best sleeping spot. There is a really nice river like 5 minutes driving distance where you can swim. The cool part is having the wine tasting outside your RV and we actually got to see a bit of how the wine is made, my favorite was the cider which is a sugar-free mix of wine plus apple cider. They rent a long lasting firepit and made the night very enjoyable, as we BBQed in a gas grill. Really quiet, really dark so you can see the stars perfectly. The sunset is nice as the vineyard glows.

Glamp at a winery and vineyard
The place is great. The views are awesome. I do think the owner should add some more description about the river and the lake and how far the are from the place. Also the only think I would suggest as to the place is maybe move the porta potty to a place a bit far from the tent. Sometimes the smell would feel really strong.

Amazing Campsite with Exceptional H
We recently stayed at this incredible campsite nestled in beautiful vineyard fields, and it was an unforgettable experience. Despite arriving late our host went above and beyond to ensure we found our site. He came out to guide us personally and provided detailed information to make our stay comfortable. The campsite itself is stunning, surrounded by picturesque vineyards, making it a perfect getaway. We will definitely be returning!
