Mt. Vernon Winery - Auburn (CA)

1 /5 Melanie Sue: I don’t usually leave reviews, but my experience at Mt. Vernon Winery was so astoundingly bad, I feel obligated to warn others. From the moment I arrived, the place reeked of cheapness disguised as "rustic charm." The tasting room was overcrowded, understaffed, and questionably clean. Sticky counters, dusty wine bottles, and an overall lack of attention to hygiene made it feel more like a forgotten garage sale than a reputable winery. The wine? Insulting for the price. Ive had $10 grocery store bottles with more depth and character. Every glass tasted like someone had watered it down and thrown in a handful of pennies for flavor. And don’t even get me started on the outrageous prices. Its like theyre banking on tourists who don’t know any better. Sadly, some probably fall for it. Staff were either clueless or couldn’t be bothered to fake friendliness. Questions about the wine were met with blank stares or bored shrugs. At one point, I overheard a staff member mocking a guest behind their back. Classy. The worst part? There was a general feeling of neglect and disorganization that made the whole place feel…off. It didn’t feel welcoming or safe. Just uncomfortable. There are countless wineries that are warm, authentic, and worth every penny. Mt. Vernon Winery is not one of them. Save yourself the time, the money, and the bad taste in your mouth — literally and figuratively.

5 /5 Bill Ferrel: Nice place to stop and enjoy a variety of wines and ciders. Two different buildings on site to keep thing separate. Cant say I personally loved the wines, but that can be very individual. Go give it a try!

2 /5 jack morrison: While the winery is on beautiful property the wine and service were quite lack luster and left me disappointed in my choice to visit.

5 /5 Timmy Luo: Juicy and fruity are the two biggest charactristics of the wine made here. Especially the red blends are totally the most special ones. Also, the two lovely cats bring more fun to this place.

1 /5 Shannon McAllister: This place is absolutely disgusting. How they haven’t been shut down for cleanliness alone is astonishing. Not to mention the fact that they’re selling cheap crap product for overwhelming inflated costs. Twice I have almost harmed myself in this building due to wet floors and things like that unmarked. I’m very close with a previous coworker there and they told me that the filters that they even use for their wines are cheap and moldy. That same person also informed me that they were extremely abusive to one of their adopted family members from being a minor into adulthood. Absolutely disgusting. I would never support this business or these people.
