Shop, dine, slumber, stroll, wine taste, and enjoy the quaint atmosphere of Sutter Creek … the Gold Country’s most walkable town with B&Bs, restaurants, wine tasting rooms and shops along the main street.
Sutter Creek, the jewel of the Mother Lode, is steeped in history being born of the California Gold Rush and nurtured by the deep rock gold mines of the 19th & 20th centuries. It is also the perfect hub to explore the Sierra Foothill Wine regions including Amador’s own Shenandoah Valley, El Dorado County’s Fairplay region and Calaveras County’s wine region.
Sutter Creek also attracts travelers from San Francisco, Sacramento … people en route to Tahoe and Yosemite! The town’s proximity to Highway 88 into Kirkwood and Highway 49 through the Gold Rush country makes Sutter Creek an ideal stopover for local to International travelers. (Check the weather.)
