About Ione, California
Ione hums with Sierra Foothills grit. Gold seekers flooded these hills in 1849; now you climb Preston Castle's towers, a 1890 stone giant once housing wayward boys. Main Street brims with saloons turned cafes. Drive five miles to Jackson for Amador County's wine trail, where zinfandel vines climb sun-baked slopes. The Mokelumne River rushes nearby, carving canyons alive with eagles and trout.
