2025-2026 Wine Sponsor
Dobra Zemlja Winery
Founded in 1995 by Milan and Victoria Matulich, Dobra Zemlja Winery—which means “good earth” in Croatian—specializes in bold, unfiltered red wines known for their depth and character. True to their motto, “Big Amador Reds, No Lightweights,” the winery highlights the robust varietals that thrive in Amador County, including Viognier, Grenache, Sangiovese, Barbera, Syrah, and Zinfandel.
Winemaker and Owner Milan Matulich believes that the grape makes the wine. In keeping with this philosophy, Dobra Zemlja allows the native yeast present on the grape to control fermentation. All wines are unfiltered and unfined, allowing the true character of the grape and the unique terroir of Amador County to shine through. The winery follows a minimalist approach—minimally intruding in the process that is encoded in the ancestral heart of the grape.
Located beneath a historic barn, Dobra Zemlja opened its tasting room in August 1997 inside Amador County’s first wine cave. Guests are welcome daily—11am to 5pm (March–October) and 11am to 4:30pm (November–February)—to sample wines and relax on the tree-shaded picnic grounds. Bring a picnic or choose from a selection of deli items available on-site.
We are proud to honor Dobra Zemlja Winery as our Winer Sponsor of the Year, celebrating their commitment to exceptional wines and community partnership.
