Candlelight Conversations: Amador County History & Wine
Featuring guest speaker Marcie Canale
Step into the shadows of Amador County’s past for an unforgettable evening of history, mystery, and wine.
Join us for Candlelight Conversations: Amador County History & Wine, featuring Marcie Canale—Deputy Clerk for the Amador County Recorder/Clerk’s Office, history enthusiast, artist, photographer, and seasoned paranormal investigator. Marcie is a longtime paranormal docent at Preston Castle and the Kennedy Gold Mine, where her work centers on historical research, preservation, and the thoughtful exploration of reported paranormal activity.
With a background in art and years of experience leading public investigations, Marcie weaves together history, creativity, and grounded storytelling—always with deep respect for the sites and their pasts. Her approach is firmly history-first, allowing research to guide every conversation.
Marcie has spoken at Sutter Creek Grammar School and volunteers with the Sutter Creek Community Benefit Foundation, helping protect and share Amador County’s rich heritage. She has also been featured on podcasts including What In The… and The Intriguing and the Unknown.
By candlelight, and with a glass of La Mesa Vineyards wine in hand, guests will explore lesser-known stories and reported encounters tied to some of Amador County’s most historic locations. History lovers, skeptics, and the paranormal-curious alike are warmly invited for an evening of intrigue, education, and lively conversation.
By candlelight…
