About Crystal Basin Cellars
Crystal Basin is Placerville's barrel-room democracy: the Cold Springs Road winery built a loyal following on approachable award-winning reds, Sangiovese a favorite, hands-on barrel tastings in the working cellar, and an owner-led hospitality style that turns first visits into memberships.
Named for the high-Sierra Crystal Basin wilderness, it keeps El Dorado wine fun, affordable and unpretentious. Come for a flight, leave with a case.
Placerville's barrel-room welcome: owner-led tastings, favorite Sangiovese, Crystal Basin wilderness in the name.
