Our history begins in 1852 when Frenchman Etienne Thée created one of California's earliest wineries. His granddaughter married Paul Masson who expanded the winery to its current Saratoga mountain top location and built our historic winery building over 100 years ago. Paul Masson's wines won worldwide recognition and later his protégé, Martin Ray, continued that tradition. Our vineyards are planted with the same varietals that Paul Masson brought over from his native Burgundy; Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Mountain Winery's unique micro climate and well drained soils are once again producing premium wine worthy of international acclaim.

This year's release of Mountain Winery wines are some of the best ever produced at the winery. Our wines are only served and sold at The Mountain Winery due to the limited quantity produced to assure the wine maker's high quality standards.
