Yorba Wines

Great reds available for tasting. Excellent tannins and fruit with spectacular finishes. This is a must when tasting here in town.

Enjoyed beautiful wines here with two of my favorite friends. We did the 6-​pour tasting and brought home a few bottles to share with friends over the holidays. The warm atmosphere, coupled with the lovely, informative ladies, is terrific. Be sure to check out the art and hear the winery’s story. This is the perfect place to start or finish your day in Sutter. They are also happy to hold your purchases while you tour the town.

While we were not able to visit the Yorba Tasting Room in Sutter Creek, we did enjoy one of their zins on two occasions at the Hanford House Inn. It made our «happy hour» happier. Will look for this wine in the future.

Yorba makes some of the finest wines in the foothills, comparable to anything from the Napa and Sonoma Valleys at a fraction of the price. The winery is the brainchild of Ann Kraemer, who worked as a vineyard manager for some of the top wineries in the Napa Valley before establishing a vineyard of her own, just up Shake Ridge Rd. from where the tasting room is located in Sutter Creek.
She grows grapes for some of the most prestigious wineries in California, but keeps some of the harvest for her own wines. There’s a spectacular 2009 Zinfandel, a delicious Tempranillo, a great Barbera, and a Syrah that has to be tasted to be believed. They also make some delicious blends. The tasting room is in a lovely old remodeled house, and the whole operation is staffed by members of Ann’s extended family, who are friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable about the wines. A definite must on any trip to Sutter Creek. (And one of Yorba’s blends is the house wine of the excellent restaurant, Element, next door!)

Fantastic wines and very friendly people! This is a must stop when visiting sutter creek. We loved the Tempranillo.

Very boutique wines — all of their wines are amazing — great tasting room — loved the ambience ! My favorite was the saddle back red blend– easy drinking.

We were in town for my girlfriend’s birthday and decided to do some wine tasting in Sitter Creek. There must be a dozen and a half tasting rooms in the center of this cute quaint little mining town. We very much enjoyed the Yorba tasting room as it was very inviting and it’s employee extremely nice and knowledgable. She had so much extra information to offer apart from the basic wine info given at so many tasting rooms. All of the wines that were offered were fantastic and all worth buying. If you’re in town for only a short time and want to do some wine tasting, I highly recommend Yorba and Bella Grace.

On the way home from Shenandoah Valley my mother and I stopped off at Yorba in Sutter Creek on a friends recommendation. I am very glad that we did. Kristin was pouring the wine and we had a very enjoyable visit. The wines were just great. Mine and my mothers personal favorite was the Barbera. The tastings are $ 5 which is beyond fair, and they waive the cost if you buy a bottle. The day was hot, the tasting room was cool, the wine tasty and Kristin was so knowledgeable. This is a must visit while in Sutter Creek.

Stopped here on an Amador county wine-​tasting adventure with some friends. Inviting space with a gorgeous bar. The Barbera is a crowd-​pleaser, but being a Zin lover my favorite was the elegant Zinfandel. Haven’t tried many Tempranillos, but if Yorba is any indication I’m going to start seeking them out. There were so many nice nooks to sit, we ended up sipping a glass and snacking on a cheese platter. Yum!

Awesome! This place was great very friendly and easy going. The tasting room is very clean and has nice seating available. Their wines are very nice, the Barbera is exceptional.
