8 Best Wineries near Penn Valley

“We had a fabulous day tasting wines at this little winery right in our own backyard. I can’t believe we haven’t come here before“

“Naggiar Vineyards is absolutely beautiful! Mary is amazing! They have amazing events, it is family friendly, and a good time is always had! If you have not been there yet you are definitely missing out! 🍷 ❤️“

“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!“

“Absolutely fantastic visit!! Gideon is nothing short of amazing, and the wines that he and his wife have crafted are true works of art. I've toured Napa and Sonoma Valley wineries several times over the years, but never knew how much I didn't know about wine. Gideon took us through his process, which is less of a "process" than it is his life, and gave us a thorough understanding of what wine can be, if given the opportunity. He and his wife farm, harvest, crush (manually using their feet), bottle, etc, all themselves (for the most part). That level of intimate knowledge shines through in the finished product, creating a truly unique taste and style that my words are inadequate to convey. This is how wine should be crafted.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Cheers to your good health“
