Excellent selection of wines from red, white, to sparkling! Definitely a fan of their rosé. They have a nice summer special going with their california sparkling and rosé. Atmosphere is quiet and peaceful read more

Didn't enjoy a wine I didn't like. Reds were amazing. Staff was nice. Enjoyed a picnic outside and was so impressed I became a wine club member. read more

Overall decent winery. The wines and good and the wine attendants and very friendly. There seems to be some nursery on the property as well. I liked the reds a lot more than the whites here. It is pet-friendly and you will have some pups to pat. Located right off Tesla and has plenty of parking. read more

Mitchell Katz Winery - Starting out the flight - Wineries Near Me - Livermore, California

I visited Mitchell Katz during the Livermore barrel tasting weekend and it was amazing! They have 4-5 areas of barrels where you could compare young wines that were just barreled and ones that were sitting for a year. IT was very educational (and tasty!) They also had a tawny port that was YUMMY, and i don't normally like ports as they're too sweet for my palate. There was a great live band (I'll update the name after I find their business card at the bottom of my purse), a great outdoor venue, and great staff. I am honestly planning to come back here for my birthday next month. In addition to the great staff and venue, the people this winery attracts are also amazing. We were welcomed by a family to share a bottle (50% off if you drink on site) and eat cheese. I, in turn, bought that bottle for my home collection. It is the JKatz blend if you are interested--named for the winemaker's son. Highly recommend! read more

I believe the wine will speak for itself! I have only ever had exceptional customer service during my visits and I absolutely love the property! read more

Was there for 4th of July. Excellent wine, friendly service, and there was a great band called The Party Mix.

On our way to Napa we stopped in Livermore to do a quick tasting at the Mitchell Katz winery. It was recommended by Michael the tasting room manager whom I met several months prior. I'm so glad that we did, it was a Saturday, and the place was packed with an enthusiastic crowd. We spent about an hour tasting the many offerings that they had. Michael and Larry were fantastic. I must say that the Sangiovese was easily our favorite with the Fat Boy coming in a close second. Thanks to Michael and Larry for a great time! read more

We came to their new location today. It has a cute outdoor seating area. For our pallet, the red wines were great and reasonably priced. Suzanne is wonderful, we enjoyed talking with her as she explained the wines. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Great ambiance, good wine, and great specials on a case of wine! Rachel kept the experience exciting and described the wines very well. Definitely planning to return! read more

We had a much better experience this time at Mitchell Katz and one that I'm sure is much more representative of what will happen when you go. Charming location. Two tasting menus, we had one of each. The Sangiovese was a standout. The Fat Boy cab didn't curl my toes quite the way it did when he was using McGrail fruit but was a highlight as well. The service was warm and attentive. Even though the room was bustling, there was a cheerful poor and a story about the wine. I'm always interested to know where the fruit is sourced and was happy that they were prepared to talk about that in detail It was fun and informative and a recommended stop on your Livermore wine journey. read more

We've been club members for a couple years now. We love the wine and the atmosphere. Everyone is friendly and they make it an enjoyable experience! read more

So, my wife and I was introduced to Mitchell Katz Winery about 2 years ago. We visited the winery many times before we became members. Over time we got to know the wonderful staff and fell in love with the wine. For the most part, every visit we purchased cases of wine and spent on average $1,000.00 + dollars. In addition, we introduced our friend to the winery and they are now members. My wife was turning 50 years old and I could think of no better place to take her for her birthday than to her favorite winery. I called and told the staff that I had rented a party bus with 35 of my wife best friends and I wanted to come to Mitchell Katz for her surprise birthday. I was told that it shouldn't be a problem but they needed to talk to the owner first to get permission. I was contacted three days later and was told that we could come to their winery, but I would have to pay 1,000.00 for 2 hours and that price did not include wine tasting for the guest. In other words, I had to pay 2,000.00 just to visit the winery. I respectfully declined. My friend told me about winery called Longevity Winery and recommend I contact them. They welcomed us with open arms and my wife had the best birthday ever and, we found a wonder winery which we became members of. This was great exposure for for Longevity and many our guest joined as well. In my most humble opinion, to charge one of your members $1,000.00 for 2 hours just to come visit your winery is insulting, offensive and the ultimate money grab. I will NEVER return to this winery and will be cancelling my membership Monday. However, I want to reiterate that the staff at Mitchell Katz are awesome and I'm sad to loose the relationships we have established there over the years. with th read more

Our Favorite winery so far.! Always felt welcomed, and very knowledgeable staff, every tasting was presented with a good amount of information about the selection. We have never felt rushed or unwelcome, and we even bring our dog. Air caution to the one star reviews as none of these reviews seem to reflect what is truly going on at this winery and I feel there is a personal vendetta going on. Mitchell has always spent the time to talk to us as well as many of the staff on various visits over our 6 year membership. read more

We really enjoyed our tasting last Monday. The new location is beautiful, with lots of room for social distancing. Suzanne took great care of us. The wines are delicious. We can't wait to go back and buy more wine! read more

It's tough to remark on the product when the service is so bad. We spent over an hour and a half to taste 6 wines. They just dump the wine in the glass and don't discuss the product. They don't know what wine you are tasting. We were late for our reservation despite letting them know about halfway that it was a bit long and we needed to move a little quicker. Wine members were there and quit their tasting because it took too long and just got their wine that was due. Very poor performance, I would not recommend and I wish we requested our money back. read more

This went from my favorite winery (for many years) to I don't believe I will Never go again. I love Carol and others but the changes just suck. The wine club use to be two bottles every quarter to a forced 3 bottle shipment. In the past when there is a wine I don't care for they would let me change to another. New management now says I can't do that. I will Never be forced to spend my money on something I don't want or like, therefore I am in search for my new fav.....I am a member of a few other wineries to choose from. Bye Mitch... I will enjoy my last bottle of Fat Boy...... read more

I've been to every location but today's experience was amazing. Rachel was the absolute best. Sparking rose is always necessary

We came to pick up our wine Club Pick up and Melissa greeted us with a GREAT BIG SMILE and escorted us to our first tasting which was delicious!! Melissa has a FANTASTIC personality and made sure we NEVER had an empty glass ! Then Cindy finished our tasting with Fatboy Cabernet and Made sure we got the cases of wine we wanted to take with us before we left! Had an over The top time!! Completely recommend Mitchell Katz! read more

My favorite winery in Livermore. I don't know what's better, the wine or the staff. I have been a member here for about 4 years now. They treat you so well just as if you were family. Their wines are great. Very good membership perks. And an awesome new location that has a lot of potential and is going to look amazing once it's all done. 10/10 recommend them. read more

It is always a great time visiting this winery. If you are looking for a big tasting rooms like wente or concannon, this is not it. Great views, nice chill tasting patio and friendly staff. And the wines are wonderful. read more

My favorite was the Falling Star Cab. I recommend it. The pourers were very kind and approachable. Thank you for a great tasting experience. We shall return. Salute! read more

Carol was an incredible Sherpa to guide us through our experience. We will be back. 10/10 -- will return. read more

What's in the bottle that counts most, and the quality of the wines here is what keeps us coming back. This is the only winery all across California where we like most of the wines, this list includes the several hundred we have visited across Napa, Sonoma, Livermore, Lodi, Murphy's, and Paso Robles. We give Mitchell Katz Wines our highest recommendation That said, there are a few facility upgrades I would like to see, especially with the porta-potty situation. Maybe the landlord can flex a bit to help. read more

Stellar service and great wines. Our lovely server, Michael, gave us an extra wine in our tasting and took the time to really get to know us and make us feel at home. The wines are wonderful and refreshing. Their tastings are only $10 a person for ~7 wines! Please note that they don't have full bathrooms - they offer port-a-potties, but they are the absolutely nicest port-a-potties you'll ever use! Can't recommend this stop enough for any trip to Livermore. read more

Mitchell Katz Winery is the first winery I have ever been to. The place is so beautiful. The love and passion for wine can be easily seen with the way they explain their wines.

Used to love it, don't really care for their newer location. Also, with Covid-19 going on they seem to be over reacting to every little thing, kindof rude about it. read more

My number one winery in the Livermore Valley. Fat boy, Cracker Box Sangio, and Syrah to name a few favorites. Friendliest tasting room staff and always happy to pour more. read more

3.5 Stars Livermore's bad boy Mitchell Katz still producing wines that relate to Livermore consumers.

I think the best review I can give for Mitchell Katz is that I signed up for my first ever wine club here before I left. It was that good and that enjoyable. I had an absolutely fantastic, unexpected experience here at Mitchell Katz. This was only my second time to the Livermore wineries and I had some a bit of research prior to coming this time but I wasn't set on which winery to come do a tasting at. I am so, so glad I stumbled upon MK as it was hands down one of the best tasting experiences I have had, including those in Napa, Sonoma, Santa Barbara, etc. Thom was the best and really hooked us up while providing the perfect amount of education and background into the wines and wineries. We even met Mitchell himself who was casually bouncing around the 2 tasting rooms sampling and mingling with the guests. The tasting itself is very affordable at either $10 or $15 depending on the flight. All of the reds we tried were fantastic, with our favorites being the I Love You sangiovese, the zinfandel and the primativo. They are delicious right out of the bottle and still have structure to them to support a meal. I cannot wait to start receiving my shipments and start coming for the release parties! read more

Walked in, spent 5-7 minutes... without a hello or acknowledgment. We are locals, we know what a tasting/wine purchase cost... Definitely not reinforcing their poor customer service with my money. read more

This might be the alcohol or awesome wine talking, but I am in love with this place! We love it so much that we even signed up for their wine club. I mean, that is dedication! My friends and I came here randomly when we went wine tasting and I am so happy we did! It was a little over 100 degrees outside, but it was nice and air conditioned. We were greeted by some very nice ladies and they got us all set up really quickly, which was great. There is also a lot of seating both inside and outside when you get tired and want to enjoy a glass of wine. Even if you want to bring your pups, they even have space for them too! We came here a 2nd time for their barrel opening and it was super fun. It was a little crowded, but they also had extra staff, wine ice cream, and a food truck. Our whole experience was awesome! Can't wait to go back! read more

All you need to know is go here on a Monday afternoon and see Carol. She is the most amazing pourer We've had, including Napa, Livermore, and Lodi!!!! read more

We live near the Napa Valley but lately have been discovering great wineries in Livermore Ca and came across this gem called Mitchell Katz. Their wine is spectacular Fat Boy, Speechless, I love you and Syrah are some of my favorites.
