Wineries near Nevada City

“Great wines! Friendly local vineyard and tasting room.“

“My friends and I came in and caught the end of a very lovely acoustic performance, which was so lovely. But the shining star of our night was be tended by Katey at the bar. She had the most excellent, and considerate presence. Her tenacity through a busy night was strong and delightful. She was gracious to let us enjoy our new favorite wine even though she was closing soon. We will surely be back again to see her!“

“Stumbled upon the winery with my girlfriend after seeing some road signs following a Yuba River hike.Such a charming property and proprietor. Want to impress your girlfriend (especially if she likes Italian wines)? Take her here for the tasting. Buy a case while you’re at it! I did.“

“What a fun experience!! If you love wine, especially Italian varietals, this is the place. Mark is quite a character and very knowledgeable in his craft. The wines are amazing and the view of some of his vineyards while you enjoy them is beautiful. Off the beaten path but worth it.“

“Great scenery and great wine.“

“My wife and I arrived at Mountain Ranch Winery after stopping in Grass Valley upon returning home (Bay Area) from Lake Tahoe. It was mid-afternoon and Bob was alone in the winery and immediately took us under his wing and walked us through the wine varietals he has produced. Bob's very knowledgeable about the wines themselves and the efforts to produce them, and he was a joy to chat with. This was a full tasting! Lots of excellent wines to enjoy and the difficulty is not buying too many bottles in one visit! Also noteworthy are the whimsical ceramic pieces produced by Bob's wife Lisa. We picked up some nice gifts for upcoming birthdays and look forward to picking up more on our next visit to the winery. Well worth the visit, check out Mountain Ranch Winery just south of Grass Valley.“

“Love Sierra Starr! Just opened a bottle of 2013 Barbera last night, so good!“

“This is a wonderful winery and tasting room! These are not your normal NorCal wines.Rob has used some amazing Italian grapes to create blends and varietals you won’t find anywhere else.My group did not have one taste we didn’t love! Totally inexpensive tasting fee, but that won’t matter because you are sure to buy a bottle or 6!“

“We had a really great time sipping good wine and enjoying live music. Staff is incredibly friendly, the place has a nice chill vibe. Bonus points to having a well tuned sound where we could enjoy the music without needing to sacrifice a conversation.“
