Amador Four Fires Wine Festival Tickets On Sale
Special Sutter Creek Ticket Release Party Scheduled Jan. 30-31
SUTTER CREEK, Calif. – Tickets for the highly anticipated Amador Four Fires wine event officially go on sale Feb.
1, but the Amador Four Fires Ticket Release Party at wineries in Sutter Creek and in Shenandoah Valley, Jan. 3031, is a great excuse to get up to the wine country and secure tickets early at deeply discounted prices.
The second annual Amador Four Fires festival, to be held May 7 at the historic Amador County Fairgrounds,
invites attendees to immerse all their senses in the region’s rich wine and food history dating back to the
California Gold Rush. Amador Four Fires is a unique outdoor festival focusing on the wine regions that give rise
to Amador’s award-winning varietals—Southern France, Italy, the Iberian Peninsula, and “Heritage California”—
paired with the culinary art of open-fire cooking. Additional offerings include three venues of seminars, cooking
demonstrations, live music, artisan crafts, locavore tastings of regional goods such as olive oils, handcrafted
candies, ciders or craft beers, and a sensory station featuring wine aromas, barrel toasts and soils.
The Ticket Release Party in the historic town of Sutter Creek and at several locations in the Shenandoah Valley
takes place Jan. 30 and 31 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. with Amador Four Fires discounted tickets available at
participating wineries. Known as Amador County’s most walkable town, Sutter Creek makes for a great weekend
getaway of wine tasting, fine dining, strolling, shopping and slumbering at historic inns.
Wineries participating in the Amador Four Fires Ticket Release Party include the following Wines on
49 association wineries: Yorba Wines, Miller Wine Works, Scott Harvey Wines, Bella Grace Vineyards, Le Moulet
Rouge, Baiocchi Wines & Vineyards, and Sera Fina Cellars. Additionally, four select wineries in Shenandoah
Valley will be participating, including Terra d’Oro Winery/Montevina Vineyards, Vino Noceto Winery & Vineyard,
Jeff Runquist Wines, and Renwood Winery.
Amador Four Fires ticket prices during the two-day Ticket Release Party are $70 (normally $85 at the door or $75
online); $120 for VIP (normally $155 at the door or $125 online), and $55 for the designated driver ticket
(normally $70 at the door or $60 online). For those who can’t make the Ticket Release Party, tickets will be
available at amadorfourfires.com starting Feb. 1.
The all-inclusive event includes over 200 wines from 37 wineries vetted by a distinguished panel of sommeliers
and judges, paired with traditional cuisine prepared over an open flame. From huge simmering pans of paella to
bistecca fiorenza, succulent birds on spits to whole tri tips, the food goes hand-in-hand with the region’s vibrant
wines.
