Sierra Chapter Barbera Wine Festival

Tickets for the June 14, 2014 Barbera Festival in Amador County go on sale Saturday, March 1, 2014. You will be able to purchase tickets online at the Barbera Festival website. There is also additional information concerning the festival on the website, including a list of the wineries and other vendor information. De Sharp checked with the Shenandoah Inn for room availability for June 14, 2014 but because the Barbera Festival is a big event, Shenandoah requires, that you stay at least two nights. They have very few rooms left, so if you want to stay at the Shenandoah Inn for two nights, you should call now (209) 245-4491. Alternatively, De has blocked rooms at the Days Inn in Sutter Creek (http://www.daysinn.com/hotels/california/sutter-creek/days-inn-sutter-creek/hotel-overview) (209) 767-9177. When you call, ask for the Sierra BMW Club rooms. Sutter Creek is not far from Plymouth, and there are several restaurants there for dinner Saturday night. You can, of course, always drive back to Plymouth for breakfast at the Dead Fly Diner on Sunday. If you want to go to the Barbera Festival, be sure you buy your tickets on March 1st or soon thereafter as possible because last year the Festival sold out in 7 days. If you have any questions or would like to go, please email DeArmond at dsharp@rbsllaw.com. Travel plans will be provided to those who decide to go.
