Amador Cellars is a proud sponsor of the

10th Annual Barbera Festival!

Celebrate National Barbera Day at Barbera Festival 2023!

The Amador Vintners Association is proud to announce the return of the Barbera Festival, now in its 10th year, to the historic Terra d’Oro winery September 9, 2023. Festival goers can taste Barbera wines from over 40 wineries across California in this beautiful outdoor setting nestled in the Sierra foothills. Along with the grand tasting, festival goers can enjoy gourmet food from top chefs, live music, local artists, and a new Premier Access area with limo and bus parking.

The festival highlights the popular Italian wine grape varietal, Barbera, which is a lesser-known varietal in the U.S., despite its popularity with Gold Country vintners like those in Amador County. Some of the oldest plantings of Barbera are in Amador County at Terra d’Oro winery, making it the perfect backdrop for this year’s event.

As one of the sponsors this year, we will have our own Amador Cellars tent!  Not only will we be pouring BOTH vintages of our Best of California Barbera, we will also be pouring some of our other award-winning Italian varietals! Additionally we will have our Fiano and Vermentino available for sale by the glass when you need some cold white wine to refresh your palate!
