Sierra Foothills · Somerset, CA
The Tasting Room
We take walk-in guests as space allows — and reservations are encouraged for larger parties.
The Polynesian Girl tasting room sits at the Somerset four corners — intersection of Bucks Bar Road and Mt. Aukum Highway, right next to the Gold Vine Grill, in the heart of El Dorado County wine country. Pour by pour, we walk you through our estate-grown Cabernet, Malbec, and Petite Sirah, along with ourTahitian pearl jewelry on display behind the bar.
Pets welcome on the patio. Wine club members taste at no charge.
Estate Tasting — $10
Estate pours at the live-edge bar. Waived with any bottle purchase.
Pearls & Pours Reserve Flight — $20
Our reserve-tier pours over the Tahitian pearl cases, with the stories behind both.
Wine club members always taste free.
As the critics put it — our 92-point 2019 Estate Cabernet is “worth the extra couple of dollars.”
Friday 1:00pm – 5:00pm
Saturday 11:00am – 5:00pm
Sunday 11:00am – 5:00pm
Closed major holidays.
Getting Here
Finding us in Fair Play
We're an easy country drive — about 30 minutes from Placerville and an hour from Sacramento, in the Fair Play AVA corner of El Dorado County.
Head south from downtown on Cedar Ravine Road, join Pleasant Valley Road (E-16), then take Bucks Bar Road until it meets Mt. Aukum Road at the Somerset four corners. You'll find us right there, next to the Gold Vine Grill.
Take Highway 50 east toward Placerville, exit at Missouri Flat Road and head south, then follow Pleasant Valley Road (E-16) and Bucks Bar Road down to the Somerset four corners.

The Estate
Apetahi Vineyard
Nestled in the Fair Play AVA above 2,200 feet, Apetahi Vineyard is the home of Polynesian Girl Wine and the birthplace of every bottle. The vineyard itself is a private working estate — but you'll taste it in every pour at the tasting room.
