El Dorado County is where the California Gold Rush began at Sutter's Mill in Coloma. Today the county spans from the charming foothill town of Placerville — known as 'Hangtown' — through Apple Hill's orchards and vineyards, up to the stunning shores of South Lake Tahoe. It's a county of remarkable geographic and cultural diversity.
