Andrae's Bakery

It's time to pack up for a picnic! A stop at this little shop in Amador City...just a couple of miles down the road...will fit the bill nicely. A great selection of artisan breads, desserts, and cheeses make this the best picnic provisioner around. There's also a nice selection of local wines, Belgian beers, and microbrews.

California produces some of the best wine in the world and Amador County makes some of best bold red wines in the state, especially zinfandel and sangiovese. Be sure to visit some of the many wineries here but make Story your destination. Starting off with a glass of champagne, proceed with a complimentary tasting of their wine...focus on the reds, white grapes are not grown here. Buy the best wine you tasted, head out behind the old miner's shack that is their tasting room, and have your quiet, romantic picnic in their spectacular picnic area overlooking the adjacent Consumnes River Canyon. Tasting is free, wines start around $8 a bottle.

Frightening goosebumps are a great way to make sure your love settles into your arms. What's better than walking through a haunted castle? This was actually an old reform school but the dilapidated building still sits menacingly overlooking the little town of Ione (5 miles west of Sutter Creek). It's supposed to be haunted by the ghosts of some of the boys who have died here over the years. The Preston Castle Foundation offers tours on the first and third Saturdays of the month, March through October. $10 for adults, $5 for kids.

J & D's Steak House

Right across the street from the inn is one of the best restaurants in the area. From pastas, to seafood and steaks, the food is delicious.

Right across the street from the inn is one of the best restaurants in the area. From pastas, to seafood and steaks, the food is delicious. The service is great, and...if you're early enough...you can get a $3 glass of specially selected local wine during their happy hour. If the weather's cool, try to get one of the window tables up front for a nice, romantic view of downtown Sutter Creek. About $20 per person.
