Comments:

       At 25,000 cases per year, Lava Cap is certainly a major wine maker in El Dorado County.  Lava Cap has recently added the capacity for production of 50,000 cases.  The wines at Lava Cap always seem to exceed our expectations.  Whenever we leave Lava Cap, we find ourselves discussing our favorite wines of the county and Lava Cap wines are certainly among our favorites.  Lava Cap produces super premium wines and therefore, there are not any bargain basement prices.  However, if you want a guaranteed sierra foothills stand-out, fabulous wine, this is the place to go.  Lava Cap produces, Zinfandel, Petit Syrah, Merlot, Chardonnay, Semillon, Fume Blanc, just to name a few.  We enjoy visiting Lava Cap in the winter and warming up to the wood stove in the tasting room.  Lava Cap is also an excellent picnic location and it offers fabulous views of the Sierra Foothills.  All varieties tasted are consistently outstanding.  We would highly recommend Lava Cap wines and we always look forward to our next trip to this premium Sierra wine maker. 

The tasting room hours are as follows:
11-5 daily, except Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years Day and Easter Sunday.
