Murphys is a Gold Rush town established in the late 1840’s and so much has changed, yet so much has stayed the same.
Over the past 20-years, Murphys has become a wine connoisseur destination and the town is very reminiscent of what Sonoma must have been like in the early 1970’s merged with the design aesthetic of a historic Gold Rush town of the late 1800’s.
Murphys probably has the greatest concentration of wine tasting rooms, 25 representing 31 labels all within walking distance of each other, compared to anywhere else in California, possibly the country. In addition, there are 21 food and dining establishments, and some really awesome retail shopping.
Therefore, Murphys is a pretty popular day-tripper or romantic weekend getaway destination.
What has changed is the greater influx of tourists over the years, because of the Internet and the businesses have evolved, while the infrastructure has remained pretty much the same from… well, the late 1800’s, especially vehicle parking accommodations.
But there are a few parking lots, listed below with easy clickable Google Map links, but, in the end, you just have to be diligent about looking for parking if the lots are full.
Please note:
The first tip is to get here early.
There is street parking throughout the area on Main Street and side streets, but keep in mind, many of our side streets are really narrow still from the days when horses and horse-drawn carriages were the only modes of transportation that made their way along these thoroughfares.
Please be respectful of our residents and don’t block business and private driveways, fireplugs, intersections, etc.
If the business or church parking lot has a sign that states, 'No Parking,' it means, 'No Parking.'
You may have to park farther away from Main Street for the Murphys Witch Walk, but… that’s why you have a broom to ride, right?
