Wine country events certainly aren’t a new thing, but the four wineries of Pleasant Valley offer something unique. They celebrate one genre of wines at a festival showcasing the flavors, talent and diversity of Pleasant Valley and El Dorado County.

Festival attendees will visit each winery and taste gourmet foods prepared from local farms expertly paired with their wines. In addition, local artists are on display throughout the festival showcasing their talents.

A “Mountain of Wine” will be raffled off with all proceeds benefiting El Dorado County’s Ag in the Classroom.

It’s called the 7th annual Rocks & Rhones Festival.

It is May 29-30, 11am-4pm each day.

Tickets are $30 advance, $35 at the door.
