My wife and myself just stopped by for a rainy day visit. What an excellent hidden gem! Awesome wine! I like how there is wine there I've never heard of before. The owner and woman working there were really nice and very informative. We really enjoyed talking to them and look forward to our next visit.

Very nice small winery with a very friendly and knowledgeable owner. Many wines you can't find anywhere else.

I learned more about wines at this wine tasting than any other winery I've ever been to. On Black Friday his entire staff called in sick for a wine tasting event that he has been promoting. The wines were exceptional and extremely rare. I highly recommend you check out this winery if you like wine or interested in learning about Italian wines. Very educational, super friendly, generously poured all his wines to try. Recently appeared in Forbes and Washington Post!

My fiancé and I recently went here, we had a Groupon for wine tasting and we had never been before. It was such a beautiful drive to the winery. About 40 minutes from Roseville. Rachel was our wine hostess and SO sweet, she was so on top of explaining the wines and just being so kind to us. I think we sampled 6 wines? All were delicious, it was fun to learn the dad (wine maker) made a special wine for his wedding! His daughter is Rachel, it was truly a family owned winery. We had beautiful views at golden hour as we sampled. At the end, our Groupon allowed for 4 bottles of wine and two engraved glasses. So amazing. It was such a good experience. Thank you Montoliva!

I was with my mother who uses a walker. We had to pull the walker up a hill on unlevel ground. No side walk. I was not impressed.

Great place. Wonderful people, and tasty wine. We sat on the patio looking over the vineyards. We had a nice tasting and bought a few bottles to take home. Lots of nature and very peaceful.

This place has so many great wines to taste! The owner sat down & talked with us & shared the history of the place as well as his history! Very interesting & informative! The views were awesome too. A must visit!

This spot was perfect and for sure a local gem! Visiting from Phoenix and it was great start to my day. We came for wine tasting and the lady who poured us our wine was so sweet and knowledgeable! The wine tasting is free but I walked out two bottles because they were too good to pass up!

A local gem. Beautiful vineyards and fantastic wines. This boutique winery is perfect for an afternoon stop to taste local wines and purchase bottles or cases for later. Their Wine Club gets you access to limited releases and special events!
A hidden gem! Or maybe not Everyone seems to love this place according to its 5 stars and I AGREE! Loved almost all their reds and the Owner, Mark, is so thoughtful with his wines. They all have meaning and creative names. Will definitely make this a regular place to visit

Always great wine and great hosts!Update: brought friends to the February 2023 club release and Mark & Rachael were gracious, fun hosts. All bought some new favorite wines!

We found this winery through Groupon and we are so thankful! First of all the website of this family owned winery says the tasting room is really just a table in a corner of a warehouse, but it's so much more and totally worth the drive. The drive from Sacramento is pretty beautiful so that is a plus. We did our visit on a Saturday and it was beginning to feel like spring in February, but not all the way there yet and we weren't sure what to expect for the weather. We entered the parking lot (which we drove by at first) and there were signs pointing toward the back of a house above the lot to follow to the winery. We passed the cutest patio seating overlooking the vineyard a bay/garage door - around an unassuming corner and found a door marked 'Entrance' so we knew we were in the right place. We walked in, not knowing what to expect at all, like was there just the one table? Did they really want guests? But once we opened the door, we were warmly greeted and given tasting glasses and a menu. The staff knows just about everything about wine and what makes each bottle unique - they should because they're family who work together to make it!We learned that their wine focuses on the Italian varietals so I had not heard of the names of each bottle so it was pretty much my first wine tasting ever at this point LOL. But now after tasting everything, I am going to start planning my Italian wine vacation right after publishing this post. We knew we were going to be buying a bottle and I could NOT choose my favorite. I basically would be great buying any thing and everything there. I could have just thrown a dart at the tasting menu and been 100% happy with whatever I ended up with. Their bathroom was very clean and they supplied high quality toilet paper so this is also how you know they care about their patrons. We love this place and highly recommend anyone who is interested in wine tasting great wine in Grass Valley. 5 stars are not enough.

We randomly stumbled upon this beautiful hidden gem. Can we talk about the amazing red wine selection this place has?? And the ambiance/view?! Great services and great wines, we loved it and will definitely be back!!
