“I was fortunate to teach several yoga classes and workshops at the beautiful and elegant Mount Brow Vineyards. It was a joy working with Jessica and Brandon and will keep them in mind for holding future events. Thanks so much!! -Kim Brodie“

“An extremely wonderful place. Truth is, I have a hard time sometimes feeling comfortable new places due to being socially awkward . I’ve been yearning for something more inter-sanctum had exactly what I was looking for, and the comfortability as well that I was searching for. I’ve been wanting to be at a place with a little more class as well was looking for somewhere with a charcuterie, board and wine. I’m so happy to find it here. Wonderful people, wonderful products, as well as drinks and food and beautiful setting . Looking forward to spending more time here as well as sharing it with others.“

“Had very pleasant experience. At this location they poor school street wines, for Hatcher wines you will need to go to downtown. Wine was nice, conversation with the owner was incredible, we had lots of fun.

Nice air conditioned room, nice ground, nice all around.

True their 2009 ice wine. Honey.“

“I had rather accidently visited Ironstone Vineyards with my family years before, vowing to come back one day and give it the time it deserved. So I was thrilled when my couple booked me to photograph their wedding at Ironstone!

I would never have expected to find such a large venue in the charming but small community of Murphys. And yet this winery has emerged there as a concert venue, garden, tasting room--and quite importantly for my clients--a wedding venue.

Ironstone's varied spaces and lush gardens made the perfect spot for this intimate fall wedding. The bride and groom each had ready rooms that made it easy to relax and dress for the celebration. Meanwhile, a lengthy walkway covered by a trellis was a beautiful and unique choice for staging the wedding itself. And there were so many great opportunities for newlywed portraits in wooded areas, manicured park spaces along a pond, and even a covered bridge!

One particularly unique aspect of the wedding was hosting the reception in the barrel room: one part cavern, one part high ceilinged event space. The look was dim and romantic, the sound was wonderful, and the feel unforgettable.

The staff were also super helpful. They offered alternatives for where to host the ceremony when it appeared some rain might begin to fall. And another staffer shuttled the couple around on a golf cart to make life easier, allowing us to visit some of the more far-flung spaces on the grounds. It was clear they were invested in making this wedding a delight.

All that to say, as a I highly recommend Ironstone Vineyards for an entirely unique and picturesque wedding venue in Amador Wine Country!“
