What people are saying about The Mountain Winery…

"Microsoft held a dinner at Mountain Winery last Wednesday and it was a big success, due largely to the efforts of the sales manager Jeremy Rydza. What started as a dinner for 100 kept climbing and climbing as we got closer to the event; it's nice to have that kind of success but not when one is trying to nail down the number of dinners a few days in advance! On top of that, we had a last-minute request for a Kosher meal. Jeremy never missed a beat, even when I called on Monday to request 10 more dinners for Wednesday (we wound up with a total of 126 dinners needed) And what a great meal it was! My guests (and I) raved about the high-quality and tastiness of everything, from the salad to the ever-so-tender Tenderloin, and that melt-in-your-mouth chocolate cake. I wanted to take a doggie bag home and that RARELY happens at large banquets." – Therese, Microsoft Corporate Event 2009
 

"Just got home from your Winery. Rodrigo y Gabriela were perfectly wonderful. I had handicapped seating and treatment and the people were super friendly and helpful and accommodating. My applause to you and your staff for such a pleasant experience for me and my friends. Thanks again"- Maria, Concert 2009
 

"I must admit that even though I have attended several concerts each season at The Mountain Winery, I have never driven up on a weekend day for a simple wine tasting. But, when I noticed the Pups and Pinot note on the calendar I gathered a friend and her dog too and we drove right up! What a nice afternoon. Your staff was a joy in general but, they also had water bowls set out for the dogs and the little dog-treats were an unexpected bonus for our furry friends. Even the guests who did not know it was a special event seemed thrilled with the opportunity to see our dogs enjoying the winery along with everyone else" - Cathy, Wine Tasting, Summer 2009
 

"I want to thank The Mountain Winery for the wonderful day we had yesterday. We attended the Pinot and Pooches Wine Tasting Event and had such a great time enjoying the view, tasting the fantastic wines and chatting with all the other dog lovers. The host and staff were super friendly to us and our pooches (lots of treats and water for the dogs!) We brought a picnic lunch and stayed until closing. We didn't want to leave and spent the last hour planning our future visits to the winery for concerts and wine tasting." - Mary , Wine Tasting, Summer 2009
 

"My family and I were very impressed with your staff last night. We had a problem with a view obstruction and Lynn responded quickly and professionally. Your handicapped access and shuttle were especially beneficial for my mother" - Patrick, Concert 2009
 

"I have been to the Winery several times, but last night was the first night I had been since I had foot surgery. I called ahead to learn about your carts and also if I could bring my knee scooter. I cannot say enough about how kind and accommodating everyone on your staff was. I will admit I was anxious about the situation, but it all turned out so easy and fun." - Kathleen, Concert 2009
 

"It has been some time since I attended a concert at the venue and I was pleased to see all of the wonderful improvements you've made. You have done an absolutely fabulous expansion while keeping all of the character and intimacy of the original architecture and surrounding area." - Bret, Concert 2009
 

"My cousin and I drove in from the Sacramento area; we were glad to have found the place easily and appreciated the orderly way in which guests were guided into the parking area. Whether asking where the restrooms were located or where to buy a beverage, each representative of Mountain Winery was courteous and helpful. The amphitheater is GORGEOUS, and there didn't seem to be a "bad" seat in the place. After the concert, the parking crew did a great job directing traffic! We had a wonderful time last evening at The Mountain Winery, and will most certainly be visiting again soon!" - Cheryl, Concert 2009
"…we will try to make it up there more often, the little "Winery Treasure in the Hills" that probably gets ignored too often as everyone heads to The Napa Valley when the gold is in their back yard" - Hans, VM Ware Corporate Event 2009.
