For an easier, less harrowing route use Lotus Rd. From Hwy 50, take the Ponderosa exit (north) onto North Shingle Rd.  Continue north, toward Lotus 11.1 miles to the road's end at Hwy 49.  Turn left onto Hwy 49 (north-west), crossing the American River, 3.6 miles to the winery on your right.

The winery is located along the north side of the highway, at 5821 State Highway 49.
