Home to 40+ extraordinary wineries, Amador County showcases award-winning Zinfandels, Barberas, and Rhones. The Italians came early in the states history. Lured by the promise of gold and land, the early Italian pioneers of California came to stay. Here they could use the traditional skills of their cultural heritage to develop the land and the region. The Italian immigrants established themselves in the mining, cattle ranching, lumbering, construction and stone masonry, fruit and vegetable market gardening, orchard, grocery, olive oil, railroading, mercantile, banking, restaurant, hotel and boardinghouse, and the vineyard and the wine industries of the California Gold Country. Their descendants still carry on the traditions brought to early California by the people from Italy www.amadorgold.net/tours/italianlegacy/arrival/arrival.html
