Beautiful setting and will go back for sure. The place is pristinely laid out with the most beautiful and unique pieces from around the world. The wines were great and we bought 3 bottles. I liked the Vermentino! The staff was friendly and knowledgeable and greeted us with enthusiasm. It's a bit out of the way of road and worth it. It's so quiet there and you can get away from technology! read more

Dessert wines are very sweet. This was the group's last tasting on our way home from El Dorado area on a Monday. Future note to self- visit on a different day. The experience was nice but there is more available Friday to Sunday, like food. We were also just ahead of a snow storm and were not able to enjoy the fabulous patio due to the cold wind. The winery was founded in 1998 with mostly Syrah and Zinfandel vines. Now there are 16 different grape varietals. The tasting room / building really gives an Italian feel. The large stone building is like a large hall inside complete with huge timbers in the ceiling, a large heavy bar area, a beautiful stone floor, and magnificent fireplace. We opted for a room off to the side were we could side down and leisurely enjoy our tastings. My flight was from the sweet wines - Tawny, Viognier Ice Wine Miraflores, Estate Viognier Ice Wine, Gabriel, Angelica Miraflores, and Black Muscat. They had flights for every wine enthusiast- the reds, whites, and rosés. The tasting fee was waved on our bottle purchases. read more

We enjoyed going to Mira Flores's for their wine pairing luncheons. We love chef Carl Williams. He always has a nice presentation and his food is really tasty. read more

Best winery experience that I've had in the greater, Sacramento area! Miraflores is tucked away deep in Placerville, but it is so worth the drive. I had a seamless, professional, and personable experience from start to finish. I came on Sunday morning for the last day of the summer, food and wine pairing series. Ashlee helped me book my reservation two weeks in advance, and she was very kind and accommodating when I called about running late the day of. I appreciated that staff waited for my party to arrive before kicking off lunch. For lunch, we enjoyed Burmese and Asian inspired bites paired with various wines. I love Burmese cuisine and everything was well executed. My favorite wine pairing was the pork and pineapple fried rice with Miraflores 2023 Estate Viogner. This wine was so unique and pitched as the white wine for red wine lovers. I'd describe the taste as creamy, floral, and carrying subtle hints of banana. The experience was hosted outdoors, and I appreciated the opportunity to learn more about the surrounding environment and dine next to the vineyards that the grapes are sourced from. The views were incredible too. I can't say enough good things about the place, people, and pairing! read more

We have been wine club members for a couple of years now, and we absolutely love Mira Flores for many reasons. The staff is always welcoming and personable. They are kind to our daughters, so much so that they look forward to our stops at "the winery". The grounds are absolutely stunning and serene, whatever time of year! And the wine is our absolute favorite! My mother did a wine tasting excursion in Venice, Italy, brought me back a dessert wine, and I was able to sample it beside Mira Flores' dessert wine (NV Black Muscat), and I could honestly say Mira Flores' was better! read more

Miraflores Winery - Wine tasting outside near the wisteria in bloom - Wineries Near Me - Placerville, California

Came here on a Friday afternoon with friends who are members. It almost feels like you're hidden out in the forest. There was barely anyone there so it was super quiet although we did make a reservation in advance. We ordered the full cheeseboard and then the four of us each selected our own tasting. There's 4 different options - an all white, a mix, and 2 all reds. I wanted the all whites with 1 red, the 1851 and they were easily able to adjust my tasting! After the tastings we felt like we didn't have enough so we ordered a bottle of the 1851. It's a chilled red and perfect for the hot summer if you're hoping for something cool but don't want white. There's a tasting bar inside and then a large patio out back with views of the vines. We are looking forward to going back again soon! read more

This winery gets best in show award on this trip to Amador County for our annual Nevada day wine tasting excursion!! Their architecture brings you to the old wine country with huge beams, deep windows and beautiful art. The tasting here is generous with a pick of five wines off their list. We enjoyed them all, hard to choose which to purchase! Tastings for Nevadans were free with wine purchase and 30% off this weekend. Pretty nice deal! Beautiful gardens and ponds graced the outdoors and tasting is available inside or out. Water and crackers are provided for customers. Definitely will put this on next years rotation! read more

Discovered this via the Passport to Wine as part of the Legends of Wine event. Miraflores participated in this event and, loving the wines, I thought I would venture out for myself to check them out. A little off the beaten path, the drive here is through El Dorado County and not too far from Placerville. Google maps may get you a little lost, so pay attention to where to turn instead of the actual street signs. Driving up, you will pass up the old tasting room and find the newer one with its historical and antique accoutrements. Loved the ancient stone sink as well as the metal doors which date back to the Gold Rush era. The affable pouring staff make the experience more enjoyable and tastings are only $5. Honestly I can't recall which wine stood out to me, as I found the majority of them to be to my liking, but they do waive tasting fees if you purchase a bottle. Fantastic little outdoors patio and I heard they do events here as well. Loved the winery cat. read more

Miraflores has a beautiful tasting rooms with old wood beams collected from Oakland and an inspiring open air patio with umbrellas that beckon you to rest awhile with some wine. Honestly, we felt that we came to the right place when we first walked in. Luckily, we had 10 minutes with the place all to ourselves. I wish I could say the rest of our experience was as stellar as our first impression. We ordered 3 flights with nary a description from the staff about the wines that we were drinking. That was first. I've visited many a winery up and down the state and across the world, but this was the first time the staff didn't even offer a word about what were drinking. No matter. We were seated under the arbor so we laughed it off and settled in. The wines were ok. We didn't find any that particularly caught our attention. The tasting is $20/pp, which did raise some eyebrows - we aren't talking about Napa. 2 bottles will cancel one tasting. We grabbed two bottles as a memento, both of which were priced $5-$10 more than what I'd expect to pay for a bottle of the same caliber. It's a lovely winery and may be worth a visit if you're tasting in the area, but as others have noted, there are some other worthwhile wineries that may offer more in terms of value and variety that may suit your tastes. read more

Coming in at number 2 overall for our wine and food adventure was beautiful Miraflores winery.

One of the best wineries in the area for atmosphere, warm staff, and excellent wines. The tasting room is beautiful with an elegant Mediterranean vibe overlooking pine forests, rolling hills, and grape vines. There's a large patio as well. Staff is super friendly and welcoming. Very laid back place. Wines are great. Good variety of reds and whites. They have bubbles too! I really liked their Cabernet Sauvignon and the Zinfandel. But everything we had was great. Hill was particularly wonderful! read more

Such a lovely setting and we discovered some really good wines. It would have been nice however, to have a follow-up visit from the server after she brought the tasting flights and charcuterie plate to our patio table. We might have been able to chat more about the wines and sometimes, we are even offered additional wines to try once the server establishes our interests. Instead, we were just left alone. I see this as a lost opportunity for both the winery and customer to possibly enjoy additional purchases. read more

It was the first time my husband and I had been to Miraflores Winery.The grounds are pretty, the inside is gorgeous, and the patio is really awesome! We got two flights and sat on the patio. The wines are really flavorful and the service was extraordinary! Shout out to Debbie, as she took good care of me and my husband! We signed up for the wine club, and we are looking forward to returning for some of the upcoming events. We strongly recommend this winery experience! read more

Excellent wines, absolutely wonderful staff! And the property is gorgeous, many varietals grown onsite in view.

We are long time wine enthusiasts and members of several other wineries in the region. Our recent experience aligns with the other one star review. It was in stark comparison to our experience at Rehnquist and Holly Hill just prior to our visit at Mira Flores. We have been there several times and it feels as though the management and attitude towards customers has changed drastically. We were excited to have time in our day to make it out there as our previous visits were very positive. Now it feels as though it's like every other winery albeit in Napa. Be prepared to pay to taste and pay for cheese but don't ask for bread! Lol. Quite a stark comparison to Rehnquist. We did taste and purchase some wine and were greatly disappointed that some items we paid for were missing such as the $8 small wedge of cheese. I echo the sentiment of the other one star review in that an email lured us out there and the offerings were inconsistent with the promise. read more

Miraflores Winery - Great friends, food and wine, Life doesn't get much better than this - Wineries Near Me - Placerville, California

Beware of the wine club, they have no loyalty to their customers. They don't ship wine in summer, so they raided our shipment and gave the best bottle away to another customer even though we already paid for it. I'm very disappointed, I guess their club shipments are just a grab bag and if they have a really good vintage don't expect to get it. We've never experienced this at ANY other winery. read more

I stopped by today at Miraflores to buy their on sale wines however; the guy in the tasting room told me I can't buy either one of the on sale wines because I'm not a club member. I informed him, I am on the mailing list and they emailed me that the wines are on sale, it wasn't specified on the email that only club members can buy the on sale wines. I drove over one hour, but I wasted my time, money gas etc and whatever the miscommunication was at the end of the day, its their big loss to turn away a good potential customer. Customer service in this winery was very poor and substandard. Folks, DO Not go to this winery, you'll get disappointed and will ruin your day. There are lots of good wineries in the area e.g Madrona, Boegel etc. and their customer service was pretty impressive. I will never go back to Miraflores, it was the worst winery I've ever been!!! read more

We entered the tasting room at Miraflores Winery there was only a few people. We noticed a sign stating Reservations only. A woman came up to us and asked if we had a reservation. We replied that we did not. The woman snarled, "All wineries in the El Dorado County require a reservation!" We politely told her we have been at several wineries in El Dorado County without a reservation. She responded," They are not as popular as Miraflores!" We told her we drove 30 miles from home, but the woman responded, "Miraflores Winery is the most popular winery in El Dorado County, so you will have to come back after you make a reservation!" As we headed to our vehicle a young man ran out to the parking lot and told us that he overheard the conversation and he could seat us for a tasting. He apologized for the woman's behavior and told us "We have received complaints about her. " I thanked the young man for coming out to talk to us and explained to him that we could not enjoy a wine tasting at Miraflores Winery after being treated that way. The young man said he understood. read more

First time visiting this winery, and they have a lovely patio area ideal for wine tasting. Great selection of wine flights and purchased their 2016 Estate Reserve Trilegato wine that was a hit with friends back in the Bay Area. read more

It is exciting to see such a finely built winery grow into something that portrays the grapes of the region, which are mostly Rhone based. The wines here have matured and definitely improved over the years. I purchased the 2014 Mourvedre and the 2013 Zinfandel on my recent visit as these were both excellent wines. The 2014 Reserve Zinfandel was the real killer wine. But at $50 a pop it is just a bit pricey for most wallets. Beautiful patio, great dessert wines and an amazing ambience in the wine room with friendly servers. If you get to come out for one of their Vertical Syrah tastings you'll be in heaven. read more

We had an amazing time at Miraflores. The staff were so friendly and we loved the options of the different flights to choose from! Everyone in our group was able to get something different as we all have very different palates and wine preferences. The wine was delicious and I was so excited to try their Mission as it is something I've never had before, and don't see it often. The Primitivo was also another favorite of ours, as well as the 2018 Viognier, the Tintoretto, and the dessert wines were all delicious! The property was gorgeous, I could've sat there for hours listening to the fountain on the patio and soaking up the scenery. So relaxing and enjoyable. We will definitely be back soon! read more

This winery is so beautiful and friendly. The huge stone patio and fountain are breathtaking. There is a lovely covered area off to the side. It is perfect for picnics or receptions. They have a full line of well crafted Zins and a wonderful Barbera. The Black Muscat is delectably sweet and velvety. The bottle is one you will want to display. I was here for a special event and won 20% off for answering a trivia question. I put that discount to good use! read more

Whatever you do, do not buy the Miraflores Picnic Basket for $23.00. It's a huge waste of money. Awful dry crackers, a wedge of cheese in a vacuumed sealed wrap that you cannot open, salami, raw walnuts, a small container of honey, and 4 apricots. It menu said honey walnuts, but apparently you simply dip them in honey yourself which was a mess. You could not cut the cheese wedge with the plastic fork they give you so had to break it apart with your bare hands. Then you are forced to try to stack a small cracker with a piece of salami that is three times larger than the cracker, and put a chunk of cheese that you had to break off with your fingers. Honestly it was ridiculous. My suggestion would be a soft spreadable cheese to use with the plastic tableware, better crackers, smaller salami, more fruit and skip the 5 walnuts in the dixie cup. read more

Breathtaking winery and exceptional customer service with a wide-ranging lineup. There is always something exciting happening on the weekends like their Summer Pairings with local chefs, Soup Sundays in the winter and they even have outdoor painting classes and feature different artists in their tasting room each month. Highly recommend! read more

Hats off to Miraflores, the wife & I have been club members here since long before she was the wife. A lot has changed along the way, they've built a new tasting room with a kitchen and a gorgeous patio. One thing that hasn't changed... The quality of the wine. I encourage you to stop by. The staff is always warm, friendly, helpful & knowledgeable. Give yourself a few minutes on the patio, you'll forget you're in pleasant valley and think you're in Tuscany. My favorite has always been the methode ancienne or the black muscat dessert wine. read more

Miraflores Winery - Wineries Near Me - Placerville, California

This is a lovely gem in EDC. My mom and I stumbled upon this winery around 5 years ago and we have been hooked ever since! We signed up as club members that day. They do amazing events throughout the year - such as soup Sunday's during the cool season, featuring a variety of soups and chefs - so there is something for everyone. One time I went in for a tasting and to pick up a shipment and they were having a Mad Hatter Tea party themed event. It was decorated immaculately and those attending were having a great time! The employees all participated dressing up as different characters and it was a wonderful event! I have also attended a wine and food pairing event which was phenomenal as well as a chocolate truffle making class that was fun! The outdoor area boasts plenty of outdoor seating, both in the sun and shaded, which makes it a great place to bring snacks and/or a picnic meal and hang out relaxing with friends. The winery tasting room and outdoor area sit up on a hill with gorgeous views of the vines and pine trees in the near distance. This place is the perfect combination for those looking for a winery feel in a forest setting. I have brought friends multiple times, all of whom enjoyed the scenery and the wines. As a person who is very picky about wines I drink, I can honestly say this winery has ZERO unsatisfactory wines. I personally always prefer red, however the whites, rosé wines, and the dessert wines here are incredible. I highly recommend the Pinot Grigio for a white and the Black Muscat Rosé. All of the reds are worth trying (and buying!), but personally I do recommend the 1853 Mission, the Reserve Zinfandel, and the Tempranillo. And it doesn't stop there. I admit I do not often enjoy dessert or sweet wines, but the Viogner Ice Wine is definitely worth having on hand at home - it is light enough to enjoy anytime of the year. Also, the Botricelli is to die for!! BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT!!!! Finally, I recommend the Black Muscat NV for a dessert wine. It is something to have on hand for a holiday or special occasion. Quite delicious!! Stop by and try the wines and hang out for a while. You won't regret it!! read more

We have brought many friends from out of the area here because the wines are exceptional and service is friendly. They have top-notch events (although staff is a little harried during those) which are a lot of fun. Ashlee is especially friendly and a wealth of information. You can tell she loves what she does. Also, props to the guys who do the barrel tastings. I always learn a lot about tasting and varietals from them. read more

Our favorite winery for two reasons: exceptional wines AND amazing staff! The wine club is great too.

If I could give a zero I would. This winery went from a five to a zero. My girlfriend and I were wineclub members for over ten years. Years before the new tasting room was even built. We spent 1,000s of dollars on their wine. Went in recently and have never been treated more rudely by someone in my life than the lady working behind the bar. Julie used to welcome is with open arms, it felt like family. Marco the wine maker used to offer us grapes from his vineyards to make wine, we absolutely loved the experience. Met the owners many times. Now, in 2022, this lady behind the bar said Miraflores is cooperate now and is not a mom and pop operation any more. Don't ever expect anyone to know you anymore. She wouldn't even let me pick up the four quarters I had paid for with my creditcard because my other half was not with me and her name was the primary. That is the exact reason I don't visit the big names in Napa anymore. There are plenty of much better wineries in the area that still treat you like a human. Needless to say I cancelled our membership on the spot. I'll never spend another dollar on Miraflores after how I was treated as a very loyal wineclub member. Not to mention charging for only five tastings only now. Next will be $40 for three one ounce pours. Don't try and be Napa, it is a huge turn off in the foothills. read more

Miraflores is our favorite winery! We've been coming here for a few years now and it never disappoints. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, willing to share their expertise, and always happy to serve you the award-winning, superb wines they produce in El Dorado County.

Fantastic winery! Great selection of reds that include Rhone (Grenache, Syrah, etc), Spanish varietals (Tempranillo) and of course Zinfandel. Decent selection of whites...with my favorite being the Viognier. Definitely worth the drive. Pack a picnic, and enjoy the terrace! read more
