Since 2008, we have worked to bring the distillation industry in California on to the international scene. Aurum Sierra Inc, parent company of Amador & Dry Diggings Distillery, is proud to be a founding member of the California Artisanal Distillers Guild. As members, we are working to pass legislation to fix many laws established during Prohibition. Current legislation includes direct to consumer
shipping, if you'd like to support our effort visit CADistillers.org. At our distillery, we produce over 25 labels under our Amador, Engine 49, and Dry Diggings brands in addition to the private label work we do. Our expertise in distilling has brought us private label projects as well. Rocket Vodka, Corti Brothers spirits, one off whiskey projects and several brandies under various wine brands are all distilled here at Aurum Sierra. We are a distiller, blender and also do work for both the brewing and wine industry. We create spirits from beginning to end by working with local farmers, vintners, and brewers. However, we do also blend some of our whiskies, and our labels clearly state if that's the case. We do an awful lot of distilling, but the real flavor comes from our barrel aging process. Our warehouse is not temperature controlled, so the weather directly impacts our aging. This region lacks the humidity and tends to experience 30-45 degree temperature swings in a single day which allows our barrels to "breathe." If you'd like to learn & taste the difference, stop by the Tasting Room! Our Northern California location is close to wineries, the gold country, Apple Hill, and the Sierra Mountains. We are a couple of minutes off of Highway 50 between Sacramento and Placerville on the way to either San Francisco or Lake Tahoe. When you pull up, it will look like an unassuming office building, but upon entry, you’re transported back in time to the 1860’s. Visit to learn more about who we are & what we do.
