Ironstone Vineyards

Located in Murphys, California, within the Sierra Foothills appellation, Ironstone Vineyards is a premier destination winery showcasing award-winning wines from Northern California's Lodi and Sierra Foothills regions. The estate is committed to sustainable viticulture, conserving water, nurturing healthy soils, and protecting surrounding wildlife habitats. Visitors can explore the stunning grounds, enjoy seasonal activities, and savor a diverse selection of wines in the wine caves or at the tasting bar. Ironstone Vineyards offers wine tastings, estate tours, dining, concerts, weddings, corporate events, and a unique museum and jewelry shop featuring a 44-pound gold leaf specimen among its treasures. The winery's signature varietals include Meritage and Merlot, with limited releases like the "Light Harvest" White Blend and Red Blend also available. Founded by John and Gail Kautz in 1968, Ironstone Vineyards began as a family farm selling grapes to California wineries before transitioning into its own winery in 1989. The estate's name is inspired by the challenging rock formation discovered during construction, which was deemed "like iron." Today, Ironstone Vineyards continues to be a family-owned and operated business, offering wine club membership with exclusive benefits and events.
