Wineries near Nevada City

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

“While traveling through California from Phoenix, our friends took us to Nevada City, where we stopped in to enjoy a wine tasting flight. This winery proudly advertises itself as the oldest operating winery in Nevada City, with wines crafted onsite using grapes sourced from local private vineyards. They also host a variety of events throughout the week, which are worth exploring.

The tasting room is inviting and thoughtfully designed, offering multiple seating areas where guests can relax and enjoy their wine. There is also a charming outdoor patio that adds to the overall experience.

As for the wine, I was pleasantly surprised. While I don’t typically favor red wines, I found their selection to be well-balanced and enjoyable, changing my expectations in the best way. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable.

I would highly recommend this winery to anyone looking to unwind, socialize with friends, or simply enjoy a quality wine tasting in a welcoming setting

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“
