Join us Above the Rush
Calaveras County, Ca.
A place for dreamers to leave behind the rush of life; to look up at the stars through the Big Trees, reflect on the preciousness of life as the water cascades majestically down to the reservoir. Our vineyard is nestled at 2200 ft amongst rolling, golden hills, with the essence of the gold rush that made this region famous. Our family offers you our small craft, sustainably grown, meticulously made wine from our dreamy backyard. We are Calaveras County in a bottle.
Above the Rush Tasting Room NOW OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK offering a paired menu.

It all starts with the Vineyard
California Certified Sustainable Vineyard – Aloria Vineyards Calaveras County, Sierra Foothills AVA. Established 1996.
We source 100% of our grapes from our estate: Aloria Vineyards, a 52 acre vineyard on a 120 acre ranch overlooking New Melones Reservoir. We control the process from end to end – pruning, fertilizing, watering, harvesting – to provide the best possible grapes for our wines.
Featuring Spanish and Italian Wines from our Estate
We have a wide selection wines to satisfy every palate, but check out some of our award winning favorites and current special buys.
