Ironstone Vineyards

“We stopped here for a wine tasting and met Buck, who made our experience even better! The wines were delicious, and my favorites were the fruit-infused wines - I prefer sweeter wines. Really nice experience!!”

“Had a great time, great wings and fabulous onion rings. Did a tasting with my mom, so fun and tasty! Left with a couple of bottles of delicious wine!”

“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!”

“This place is a must-see destination if you're up in the Gold country california. They have really good food and many wines and the grounds are amazing. They have so many historical artifacts here and also the best selection of different wine options like slushies, dessert wines and also some really nice cabs and my favorite was reserved cab franc. There's a lot of history here that it takes multiple trips to sync everything in and next time we come we'll be doing the cave tour as well which is very exciting. Quinn was our wine server and she went well beyond our expectations.She is so friendly and knowledgeable about the wines and which one she recommends. We are very grateful for this experience and will be back soon.”

“I was concerned it's always been a five-star winery and restaurant and the gardens have always been beautiful. I don't know what's happened. I don't know if the gardener has retired and someone new is doing it. There were no bulbs planted in the barrels and bloom. The barrels look not very attractive. Normally they're gorgeous and I can't wait to take pictures of them. But this year not the case. I don't know why I was disappointed. I was looking forward to seeing them. I had lunch The salad was delicious, little difficult to eat with the shredded beets but so beautiful and absolutely delicious however my chicken was so dry. I had to ask for some sauce for it. my carrots were hard and my broccoli was burnt and unedible. The potatoes were delicious and the wine is always good, but it wasn't The experience I have grown to expect from them . This was not the wineries best showing on this trip. Think you'll be a while before I go back”
