About Cantiga Wineworks
Cantiga is Somerset's contrarian craftsman: the family winery on Meyers Lane makes deliberately old-school wines, food-first, structured, built against California's soft-and-ripe grain, and pours them with small-bite pairings in a handsome timber tasting hall where the winemaker himself often hosts. The devoted following treats it as El Dorado's best-kept conviction. Wines with spine, served with lunch logic.
You will find Cantiga Wineworks in Sierra Foothills / El Dorado County, part of the Sierra Foothills wine region. The tasting room address is P.O. Box 1232, Sierra Foothills / El Dorado County. Plan around the schedule: Fri-Sun 11am-5pm (by appointment). Required. Tasting fees run from $15. Dogs are welcome. Sources list wheelchair access at the tasting room; check with the winery about anything more specific. The surrounding Sierra Foothills region is known for Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite, which shapes what most tasting rooms here pour. Hours and tasting formats change with the season, so a quick call to (530) 622-6360 before you go is worth the minute.
