Mt Vernon is one of our favorite wineries in the area. So much so that we have been members for almost a year now! We don't care for white wine so whenever the releases come out they let us swap out any white wine for a red which a lot of places don't let you do. The staff is very nice and knowledgeable and the winery is DOG FRIENDLY!! So many wineries around the area aren't so we are very thankful for that, another reason why we love this place so much!

Mount Vernon Winery holds a special place in my heart, particularly because it served as the enchanting backdrop for one of my best friend's beautiful weddings. The venue itself is nothing short of amazing, creating a picturesque setting that adds a touch of magic to any celebration.During the wedding, the owner's exceptional hospitality stood out when they went above and beyond by personally assisting me in finding a warm place to prepare a baby bottle for a guest. This level of attentiveness and care left a lasting impression.One of the notable additions to the winery is the newly introduced wine island, a charming space where live music often sets the mood. The serene creek adds a delightful natural touch to the overall scenery, creating a perfect blend of ambiance and entertainment.Of course, the main highlight is the wine itself. Mount Vernon Winery boasts a selection of delicious wines, with two personal recommendations being the Mountain Red and the Girly Man. Each sip is a journey through rich flavors, and the variety offered caters to diverse palates.In summary, Mount Vernon Winery is more than just a winery; it's an experience. From the breathtaking venue to the warm hospitality, live music, and, of course, the delightful wines, it's a place that I wholeheartedly recommend for any celebration or a leisurely day of wine tasting.

This is a great family run business. Beautiful setting, a good selection of wines, and friendly staff. Definitely need to try one of Auburn's wineries.

I have been a member at Mount Vernon Winery for many years. I have always found the people to be wonderful! Very polite, knowledgeable, and fun! It is my favorite winery in the world literally and I have been to many! Their wine is fantastic and always has been. The ambiance is beautiful and they now have a gorgeous wine island where they have live music and dancing, and delicious catered food The owners are wonderful, hard-working people, and treat everyone as family.. I would recommend this as the best winery you could ever find on all fronts!

Great time and good wine on our visit !!

Julie was the greatest hostess! She was knowledgeable about the wines, and helped me with the wine cave dinner certificate I purchased for a friend. She made it all work out so easily!

We went into Mt Vernon Winery today as a group of six (sisters) and met Mark who was working the tasting room. We had a great experience there! He was very personable and knowledgeable about every wine he served us. The wine was very good and we ended up taking quite a few bottles home with us. We will certainly recommend this winery to all of our friends. Cheers!

My high school best friend and I got together again and decided to check out this winery. So glad we did! We went on a Thursday so it wasn't crowded, and Jewels was behind the bar. From the moment we walked in, she was bubbly and energetic, and so knowledgeable about the property, the history, the grapes, and each of the wines tasted. It was a beautiful setting, and a good number of wines to taste. Definitely one of my favorite wineries ever visited in California, and much of that had to do with Jewels our server. Highly recommend to others and take your time here. It's worth it.

Mark was our favorite! I only wished you weren't out of so many of your wines! Hubby and I had the best laugh over the "girly man". We both enjoy and appreciate the sport of bodybuilding, so seeing Arnold on these, we had to bring him home. There was another family tasting when we were in the room when we were there; they enhanced our experience. There are two other places outdoors that you're able to purchase wine and enjoy the scenery. They allow outside food, so pack a picnic and make a romantic day out of it. Check out their menu!To Mark thank you for the great service; we'll be back sooner than later for our next day date with you. Hoping you'll have more of your menu in stock, so we're able to try everything and bring more home.
Such a lovely outdoor area overlooking the vineyard. Loved all the blooming flowers as I sipped a lovely cab. .

Let's start off with saying how exceptional Stephanie was today!!! She is so personable, attentive, and charming. She made wine tasting here such a welcoming experience. A tasting is $15, if you buy a bottle they wave the cost. Which we did. Stephanie was on it too. Highly recommend just based on service. That being said, there are MANY great wine choices too!! The Cab Franc and Noir were my go too. Wine of course is a personal preference and all about your taste buds. Must try!

Great value, great venue, great wines! Thanks Lee for making our groups experience great.

The tasting room is small, so if busy you have to be patient. Julie in the tasting room was so friendly and very knowledgeable. She had a great personality and got as many people in as she could at one time. The wine selections were great. Their Rose and Red Port were my favorites. Their patio outside is quiet and peaceful. If you walk down the little dirt road on the property you can get to the Island where you can do cider tastings. The gentleman working was so funny. We really enjoyed visiting with him. The blackberry limoncello cider was phenomenal! Sitting down on the Island was so peaceful listening to the bubbling of the water running in they creek.

4/11 Update: Julie emailed my friend (who was in contact with her before the visit) and informed her that we were in fact on the reservation list and Mark did not look at it. She told us that the owner is aware and that she let Mark know. Julie apologized for our bad experience and encourages us to come back when she is working. I am happy that Mark was made aware of his error, but just like first impressions, it is difficult to come back from a bad first experience. Mark made our first experience at Mt. Vernon rememberable and not in the good way. He ruined this winery for me due to his rudeness and poor service. There are many other wineries in Auburn that I would prefer to go to and I encourage all of you Yelp reviewers to do the same and go to another winery!
