“Mount Vernon Winery holds a special place in my heart, particularly because it served as the enchanting backdrop for one of my best friend's beautiful weddings. The venue itself is nothing short of amazing, creating a picturesque setting that adds a touch of magic to any celebration.During the wedding, the owner's exceptional hospitality stood out when they went above and beyond by personally assisting me in finding a warm place to prepare a baby bottle for a guest. This level of attentiveness and care left a lasting impression.One of the notable additions to the winery is the newly introduced wine island, a charming space where live music often sets the mood. The serene creek adds a delightful natural touch to the overall scenery, creating a perfect blend of ambiance and entertainment.Of course, the main highlight is the wine itself. Mount Vernon Winery boasts a selection of delicious wines, with two personal recommendations being the Mountain Red and the Girly Man. Each sip is a journey through rich flavors, and the variety offered caters to diverse palates.In summary, Mount Vernon Winery is more than just a winery; it's an experience. From the breathtaking venue to the warm hospitality, live music, and, of course, the delightful wines, it's a place that I wholeheartedly recommend for any celebration or a leisurely day of wine tasting.“
“My best friend from school and his wife are members of this place, I personally want to disclose that I don't like to have biases, but I liked the experience!!!!!!!! The staff is attentive and wonderful at educating and explaining wine and their process. The decor is lovely, the desert wine and a few others are a joy! Tasting was a bit overcrowded but I don't see it as an inconvenience, rather a sign that if the wine is good, people will come!“
“This is my favorite winery on the Placer Valley Wine Trail!! I went with a friend and we had the whole place to ourselves! We sat under the trees in Adirondack chairs overlooking the entire winery. It was simply perfect for a tasting! I really enjoyed the wine too and I appreciate learning about the different ways of how they age the wine, which greatly affects the flavor!“
“Loved this winery. Took some time getting to it as they had moved from their previous location but it was well worth it. Excellent service from start to finish. Fantastic recommendations which were spot on. Scenery was nice as well. Could use some additional signage but we found it easily enough. Would definitely go back.“
“Rappe Family Vineyards - Auburn We were on our way to another winery and passed the entrance to Rappe Family Vineyards. We decided to turn around and enter the vineyard after looking at the excellent ratings. We were not disappointed. We came to learn that the winery is fairly new to the area. Clearly it is nice addition to the Auburn area. Their tasting room is set up in a large tent during the winter months and outside next to the vineyard during the summer. The hosts were excellent. For such a young winery they offered excellent wines. It should not be surprising since the founder Tom Rappe has spent his career in the wine industry. Each individual tasting is free with the purchase of a bottle of wine. We had the same nice experience in Napa 25 years ago. We loved our tasting. Absolutely worth a visit.“
