Hillside Wines
Hillside Collection wines are quality, estate grown, varietal wines carefully crafted to compliment a wide variety of foods and perfect for everyday meals and casual occasions. Grapes come from our three El Dorado Appellation vineyards, whose mild climate and deep soils provide perfect growing conditions for the wide range of varieties that are the foundation for these wines.
Signature Wines
The Madroña Signature Collection features elegant wines that showcase the finest fruit from our three vineyard properties and are particularly successful expressions of varietal style, character and quality. Handcrafted and artistically blended, our Signature Collection Reserve wines profoundly express the unique characteristics of each varietal.
Single Vineyard Wines
Madroña Single Vineyard wines are small lot offerings sourcing distinctive fruit from each of our three vineyards – Madroña Vineyard, Enyé Vineyard and Sumu-Kaw Vineyard. Each highlights the unique varietal characteristics and terroir of the specific vineyard site from which the fruit is harvested. As we taste through the barrels before final blending, we invariably come across a barrel that is positively special. The character may be intense, subtle, unusually fruity or complex. It screams to be bottled separately to retain the unique aspects that show the exquisite nature of our diverse vineyards. Single vineyard lots, which are traditionally bottled unfined and unfiltered, exhibit a purity and a sense of place seldom seen in California wine.
Specialty Wines
From our Fiore to our popular Blanc de Blancs, Madroña Specialty wines are special bottlings of uncommon varietals, produced on a limited basis by our winemaker.
New-World Port
From one of the first wines Madrona ever made port-styled wines have become a mainstay of our portfolio. A blend of seven estate grown Portugese varieties, our New-World Port embodies both elegance and balance.

It was a small family outing and we love the Apple Hill area. The wine tasting at Madrona experience caught my eye so we reserved a time. The table was in a shady area under beautiful trees. The service was unobtrusive and helpful. We did not eat anything so reason for a lower rating in that category. I recommend the experience. We did buy a bottle to take home.

Madrona has excellent wines at affordable prices. The staff is proficient and fun! The tasting areas are great whether upstairs, outside or in the barrel room. A special feature is the ability to view short videos of the winemaker-Paul Bush- describing the wines you are drinking.

The wine maker is awesome! He spends time talking to you and helps one develop the understanding of wine making from a layman's perspective. The 2018 Barbera is delicious!

My group was new to wine tasting and were under the impression that somebody would help guide us through it. While the staff was nice, nobody actually talked to us about the wines, the history or anything really. We were just given the wines and left to our own devices. Perhaps that what a tasting is supposed to be like, but we would have definitely liked some guidance.

Madrona is one of the oldest wineries in Apple Hill, and one of our favorites! Besides Sprocket, the watch dog, Paul is Madona’s greatest asset. He wanders among the tables while we are wine tasting and provides insights of the wines and wine making process. Great time, great environment!

Just the greatest family run winery, we're long time members and go as often as we can. The winemaker Paul is simply great at what he does and the beautiful setting is lovely "icing on the cake". Events are usually well catered and we've been introduced to several other quality vendors in the area who are often included in Madroná events. They handled Covid very carefully and we felt totally safe visiting throughout all the various tier changes. Can't say that about some other wineries in the area and it's something we will always remember going forward.
