Casino Mine Ranch

Casino Mine Ranch is truly a hidden gem. Their wines are consistently excellent across the board — from the crisp, refreshing whites (the Vermentino is my personal favorite) to the beautifully balanced Reserve Rosé that’s perfect on a warm summer day, and of course, the incredible reds that pair just as well with a meal as they do enjoyed on their own. The Simone and Grenache Noir are standouts and have quickly become my go-tos. Beyond the wine, the experience of visiting is equally special. The winery sits on stunning grounds with sweeping views that make you want to linger, and the tasting room strikes the perfect balance of modern design and welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re a casual wine drinker or a true enthusiast, Casino Mine Ranch is absolutely worth the visit.

I cannot say enough about our experience at this winery. The wine, the food, and the staff were amazing. I highly recommend their charcuterie boards. We were given a small tour of their expansion to the tasting room areas which were beautiful.

I recently celebrated my birthday at Casino Mine Ranch and it was such a unique, memorable experience. We hosted an intimate wine tasting in their private cave, and the setting was absolutely stunning — cozy, secluded, and with a beautiful ambiance. Having our own cave while enjoying their amazing wines and charcuterie boards made the celebration feel truly special. The staff was fantastic from start to finish. They were incredibly helpful during the planning process and made sure everything ran smoothly the day of the event. As hosts, they were warm, attentive, and made our group feel welcomed and completely taken care of. If you’re looking for a unique and elegant venue for a private event, I can’t recommend CMR enough! And as a wine club member, I’ve consistently enjoyed their exceptional wines, inviting tasting room, and all the great member events they host throughout the year.

CMR’s attention to detail, genuine hospitality, and excellent wine make it my favorite winery and place to visit! Their wines are layered, distinct, and delicious. I especially like their Granche Noir and make sure to always have at least a couple bottles on hand at home, it pairs well with everything, but isn’t a pushover. As for the venue, the architecture, design choices, layout, landscaping, and vibe all communicate luxe without pretentious (which is a hard needle to thread!). They have multiple areas to taste or enjoy a bottle/glass on site, which means no matter your group size or composition, there’s likely an arrangement that’ll be what you’re looking for. I like propping my feet up, leaning back, and overlooking the water. About their hospitality: Their team is warm, aware (follows your lead on how much engagement or communication you may want), and informative. I love visiting because, in my experience, their team is just some of the best folks… and it makes it such a lovely experience every time. On food: they have the you-pick charcuterie which they plate in a gorgeous way, but more interesting perhaps is that they experiment across seasons with their offerings. From hot, artisanal pizzas in their custom pizza oven, to insanely delicious sandwiches, to members-only events with grilled meats and entrees from scratch. Finally, I followed their progress online and visited CMR’s tasting room on opening weekend years ago. I can confirm that what I’ve said is true across seasons, staff, wine releases, etc. Anytime I’m hosting guests, I make sure we build in time for a CMR visit because Im proud to share it with them and because I know they’ll be well cared for and have a wonderful, relaxing and enjoyable experience.

We arrived around 3 pm to a beautiful property and were hoping to enjoy a tasting outside since there was plenty of open seating. However, because we didn’t have a reservation, we were told we could only sit at the bar or a high-top table. When we asked about the many empty outdoor tables, we were told those were for reservations only. It was surprising to see so many open seats that guests weren’t allowed to use. Tastings are also $20 per person, which is about double the cost of most wineries in the area. Between the rigid seating policy and the high tasting price, the overall vibe felt pretty snooty and not nearly as welcoming as the other wineries nearby. Beautiful property, but the hospitality didn’t match.

Today was our first visit to the winery and Kelley was a fantastic host! The grounds were beautiful and the wines were incredible.

As locals, Casino Mine Ranch has become one of our absolute favorite spots, and every time we have friends or family visiting, it's at the top of our list to share with them. It's the kind of place that makes you proud to bring guests. The quality of the wine is outstanding. Each tasting is thoughtful and beautifully balanced, reflecting both the land and the care that goes into the winemaking. What really sets Casino Mine apart is the hospitality. Every visit feels warm and personal. Servers make you feel known and welcome, sharing the rich history and stories of the ranch in such an engaging way. It never feels rushed, just genuinely inviting. The tasting room and grounds are stunning, with an inviting atmosphere that encourages you to slow down and savor the moment with family and friends. We can't recommend it highly enough.

Casino Mine Ranch is one of my favorite wineries in the area! The staff.. Maddie..Matt..are truly wonderful — warm, welcoming, and so fun to chat with. The tasting room is incredibly gorgeous and chic, so thoughtfully designed — it has this gorgeous, European feel that makes you want to stay all afternoon. It’s perfect for small groups, with plenty of cozy spots to relax and take in the scenery. And I have to say, their Zinfandel is one of my favorites — it’s so well-balanced and delicious. Overall, such a beautiful, fresh, and inspiring place — one of the best fresh tasting rooms in the region!

Absolutely!!! Come enjoy a beautiful venue with a wine selection that is very smooth. Can't wait to come back. Very modern/comfortable aesthetic feel to it. The staff were very personal and want to make a connection and have a conversation with you. Miguel was amazing with all his knowledge on wine and how personal our experience was with him! Come check it out and ask for Miguel! You will not be disappointed! They also account for dietary restrictions!

Meghan was an amazing server and who wouldn't be the wine was amazing. Favorite whites I've had today.

We absolutely love this place and all the friendly welcoming people that make it our go to with family and friends! casino Mine Ranch is a must stop winery in Amador, the wines are fantastic- we love the Grenache Noir and the Vermentino!

We've been members for five years and it is unquestionably one of the best wineries in Northern California. The servers, especially Madison, are genuine and amazing. The wines are exceptional: our favorite is the vermenito, which we first drank at French Laundry and then joined the club immediately afterwards. The reds are also great.

Another great evening ! Picked up our member wines and brought some friends We indulged in some wood fired pizzas paired with some wines with the Simone stealing the show with the nicest most educational servers! Sunset is stunning here and the whole atmosphere calming and inviting.

I have been a member here for over a year and really enjoy our time at this lovely winery. For some reason I have been slow to post my review, maybe I wanted to keep this beautiful new winery tasting room a secret! This newer tasting room has been open for a few years. It is just east of the town of Plymouth in the county of Amador. There are several tasting areas but only one inside area. The inside area has a bar, some tables and picnic tables. There is a patio with misters just outside the check in and inside area. There is a brand new tasting area just past the pizza oven. Then to the left of the tasting room is picnic and grassy area where you can sit with the younger crowd(under 21). We have enjoyed very attentive service here and love bringing our out of town friends. The rolling hills of oak trees and small pond in front make for a nice atmosphere. The wines are good and there is an option on the weekends to get sandwiches and pizza.

Extraordinary doesn't even begin to explain the grounds, the friendly staff, the delicious wine and the overall wonderful experience. This is a top-notch winery that you don't want to miss and is definitely worth the visit! The Tasting Room has a cool modern vibe that is so welcoming and plenty of outdoor seating options. They also have amazing events year-round and can host your private event too. Check it out!

We LOVE Casino Mine Ranch! On our first visit we were greeted by the most friendly guy, Matthew, and he made our experience so wonderful that we became members that day. Every visit we have had so far, Matthew has gone above and beyond to make it memorable. We love bringing friends and family here, and they always leave saying the same great things.

This place is well worth a visit! Chris is your go to guy! Beautiful and the wines are awesome! Lovely setting and food is awesome too!

Some of the best wines in the area to match the beautiful property and architecture! Great space both inside and out.

This winery is amazing! Vino Noceto referred us and they were so so good. The wines are all delicious, distinct, and unique. The venue is beautiful, and they had complimentary pizza with the tastings, which was heavenly.

While the grounds at this vineyard are absolutely stunning, I found the service to be a bit lackluster. It was our first time visiting and the hostess put us in a corner and never came back to explain any of their wines. After the first wine was poured we were mostly ignored, so we paid the tasting fee and left. The one white wine we tasted was nice, but it would have been nice to have had a flavor profile and information about the wine offered. Perhaps it was an off day; not sure we'll go back. Ambiance was modern and sterile.

Great wine, service and beautiful winery and grounds. We were able to a couple glasses with our husky and walk around the grounds. It was a foggy Monday so it was slow but I can imagine this place in spring and summer.

Such a great place! Our first time here and they were all amazing! Pet friendly which is a bonus. Service was great too! They were so patient and attentive. We will be back!

Amazing winery and great atmosphere. Miguel and Meghan helped us and were so accommodating! We stopped by a couple wineries and this was our favorite. A must see if you come to the area. The appetizers and wine were to die for. Will be back!!!!

We did a wine tasting at this property and we were looking for great wine, a beautiful ambiance and maybe a snack. Casino mine ranch delivered on all fronts . Miguel was extremely insightful about the tasting notes and the wine was delicious! Watching the sunset over the pond while we tasted was the ultimate ending to a great wine tasting experience. Will definitely be back!

Zin was fantastic. Blanc was great as well and staff was very friendly. Ambiance is great and spacious as well as generally quiet.

The grounds are stunning you don't want to leave. We were so fortunate to visit this vineyard in the summer because we had amazing weather.. the pictures on the website focus on the experience, but they don't show much of the grounds which is part of the incredible experience. The wine tasting was reasonably priced at $25 ++. We had a charcuterie board and picked our own meats and cheese, and the staff added some garnishes like chocolate and dried fruit fruits. I'm not even going to describe the wines because there were too many, but I will say that they were all good flavor and we had an assortment of balanced and complex, medium body, white, and red. There is definitely a variety and there's something for everyone. We did purchase a bottle of red 2020 Legacy, and it was far better when we got home. We chilled it overnight and when we opened it up, we let it sit in the glass to breathe and when we drank it, it was absolutely delicious. It was a lighter red with fair complexity, a little sweeter, but easy to drink. This definitely is a place to visit if you are nearby in El Dorado Hills or the Folsom area the drive out there is spectacular as well as you pass many other vineyards it's just trying to find which one suits you or the mood you're in. I was in a Northern California relaxing redwood cool kind of day mood. That's what I got.

Mathew Moreno was so nice and very informative. I was surprised at how much he knew about the winery and the origin of the varietals. He was very interested in the process. He is definitely on his way.

A beautiful tasting room with big windows and plenty of outdoor seating makes for the perfect place to enjoy a bottle or two of their wines. The food pairings they are able to put together are absolutely delicious and inventive! It really shows the pride the staff have in their wine and how much they care to have a quality experience that keeps you coming back. The members event truly blew me away!

The attention to detail at Casino Mine Ranch is remarkable! We really enjoy every visit to this lovely tasting room .

Candace and Maddison and team do a great job and made our guests feel special. The beautiful patio was great too! And the wine and charcuterie made it a memorable visit!

Amazing wine and incredible venue --and what a friendly team they have! All around a must stop! Loved the Vermintino and the Zin. And, the history/story behind the winery is so cool. Love it and can't wait to join their events.

Great experience at Casino Mine. Chris was awesome. Friendly and knowledgeable. Casino mine has a beautiful modern tasting room and plenty of outdoor space with views. Enjoyable wines throughout the tasting menu. Will definitely be back.

Went to Casino Mine Ranch a year ago and did not have a good experience. Matt reached out to me and invited us back since they made some changes. We went there this past weekend and they definitely have changed! Last time we couldn't find 1 bottle to purchase but this time we wanted to buy all of them! Service was super polite and very welcoming. What a huge difference and we will be back! I encourage others who had a bad experience to go back and give them a try and I don't think you'll be disappointed!

The best place to go for wonderful wine, delicious food and excellent service! We celebrated my husbands birthday and they made his day very special. Thank you Casino Mine Ranch!

Huge shout out to Casino Mine Ranch for coordinating our after celebration event last weekend. The food, wine and ambiance were perfect for a relaxing afternoon among our family and friends. This winery is our favorite place due to the excellent service. Thank you to the staff for helping us celebrate this special event!

Casino Mine Ranch is such a standout in Amador County . The wines here are top notch--seriously some of the best you'll find anywhere. Their new spot isn't your typical tasting room either; it's a fresh experience that feels unique compared to most wineries around here. Rich and Jim have built what feels like the country club of wine clubs--it's welcoming, relaxed, and elevated all at once. I love that they're pouring varietals you don't usually see in Amador, which makes the tastings fun and different. And their Verminto? Absolute favorite--it's a must try. Huge shout out to Matt, who always makes us feel like royalty every time we visit. Between the wines, the vibe, and the people, Casino Mine Ranch has quickly become our go-to spot.

Reserved well in advance for an amazing afternoon wine tasting. The team was inviting and the space is the best around. I highly recommend Casino Mine Ranch when visiting Sutter Creek and surrounding areas. Beautiful property, great wines and excellent staff. We will be back.

truly cannot say enough about this winery and their outstanding team. What began as a casual, spur-of-the-moment stop quickly turned into one of the most memorable and delightful experiences I've had at any winery. The setting was beautiful, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and every detail made me feel like more than just a guest--it felt like I was part of something special. The wines themselves were exceptional, each glass offering its own character and charm. I went in expecting just a quick tasting and instead found myself walking out with a case of wine and a brand-new wine club membership that I couldn't resist. A huge part of what made the experience so unforgettable was my server, Ali. She was absolutely wonderful--warm, approachable, and overflowing with knowledge. Ali had that rare gift of being able to explain everything with both expertise and genuine enthusiasm, making me feel completely at ease. Her kindness, charm, and passion for the wines turned what could have been just another tasting into an experience I'll be talking about for years. This winery is a true gem, and I'm already counting down the days until my next visit.

People talked up this spot but I was kind of disappointed. The wine was fine and the service pretty mid. Sadly, they don't allow you to eat your own food but they're vegetarian offerings seemed sparse/less than appealing.

A friend of ours recommended this place and we decided to visit. No reservation, but they were easily able to accommodate us. Kelly, who was helping us out, was so knowledgeable and excellent in her description of the wines. Everything we tried was delicious and we ended up leaving with several bottles. Highly recommend you visit. A beautiful and relaxing venue. Oh, you must have the manchego cheese potato chips!

We love everything about CMR! Their wines are delicious with a very good variety to suit anyone's tastes and their venue is fabulous! There are so many options in the tasting area - you can be indoors, outdoors, relaxing in low chairs looking out over the pond or in 'proper' chairs, depending on your comfort. They also have a nice array of snacks to enjoy while wine tasting. I also personally like the fact they are an over 21 tasting facility so there aren't a lot of kids running around as I've experienced in some other vineyards - again, personal choice. I highly recommend stopping in CMR to enjoy the wines and beautiful venue!

WOW this place is gorgeous. Definitely the place to stop by for a tasting. $20 per tasting or the tasting is waived with the purchase of two bottles. The scenery is gorgeous and we love that it was dog friendly. They do tastings both inside and outside and they pizzas looked delicious! We'll be back to try them. Brittany helped us out and she was so nice and diligent in explaining the different wines we tasted. We will definitely be back for the next rotation :)

Absolute best staff and service, support local and regional businesses and gorgeous location!

The location is probably one of my favorites, from the winery's I have visited In Sacramento. Had a girls weekend, and this was one of our stops. I did not like the white wines but the reds were amazing. The BUBBLY was one of the best I have ever had. It was so delicious. We got a charcuterie board. The goat cheese was my favorite thing. Very pretty. The figs were also delicious

Visited during the week and it was very quiet, which was delightful. The facility is absolutely beautiful. The service was stellar. They offer charcuterie boards and/or individual cheese, crackers and other snacks. Wine is good and refined, but not my style preference. Also the wine and tasting fees are quite pricey. That said, I would still recommend to anyone to have the experience of a visit.

The '24 Vermentino is great and should go well with Thanksgiving dinner. The online order service was superb, fast and easy.

I have been a member since before the tasting room was built and continue to love CMR and the people that run it! I tell everyone it is rare to find a winery where you enjoy all of their wines-of course I have my favorites- but I find them all to be great for sipping and with food. Visit the tasting room and stay a while!

We always have an amazing experience at Casino Mine Ranch. Matt and Candace take great care of us to ensure we are well taken care of. The wine, snacks, and property are a great escape and ensure a day of relaxation.

Delicious. Megan did a fantastic job showing the wine. It all taste great! I enjoyed meeting her at the Palladio.

This is a place that serves fantastic wine with amazing and clean vibes paired with the kind of service you should expect from any high end tasting room or vineyard. Staff knowledge of wine was impressive and the food options available did not disappoint either.

Excellent wine and even better service! Best Tempranillo in the area! Gorgeous tasting room/patio and beautiful garden area for buying a bottle and enjoying the weather.

Well, well, well...Casino Mine Ranch! What a pleasant surprise. Super nice grounds and fabulous wines. (Love the Vermentino.) Attentive and knowledgeable employees and yummy snacks available. Highly recommend you stop in here and linger a bit. The vibe is on point. It's my favorite in the area!

This beautiful winery is away from the others, about 3 miles further from the cluster of wineries on Shenandoah Road. As you enter the tasting room, it's like walking into someone's home. Well, later on we found out it is the owner's home. High ceilings with wood beams across. An open kitchen with counter space and a large dining table next to it. Floor to ceiling windows/french doors brings incredible light to the space. Sigh - I want to live here! There are also outdoor seating and throughout the property, but we decided to stay inside and enjoy the gorgeous space. We tasted several wines. They are all phenomenal! My top choices are 2018 Grenache Blanc and 2017 Tempranillo, and I bought a bottle of each to take home. This is my first-time tasting Grenache Blanc at any winery or even heard of it. It's rich, buttery with cinnamon finish. I prefer this over pinot grigio. Tempranillo tasted like a Sangiovese that I like at another winery. It's a red grape that's indigenous to Spain with a nice finish. Matt (Manager) did a fantastic job explaining the history of the winery and each wine. I highly recommend visiting Casino Mine Ranch when you are in Amador. You need to call or reserve on their website in advance unless you are a member. They are currently open on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Went to Casino Mine Ranch with my husband and had a great time. Lovely grounds, beautiful tasting room amazing patio with pond views! Easygoing vibe and genuinely friendly staff. We loved the Vermentino and Zinfandel, and the story behind "Simone" sold us on a bottle to take home. The sandwiches were delicious, fresh and super delicous. We'll be back with friends and planning on joining the wine club.

Came to visit with existing wine club members. Had a pleasant experience. I look forward to another visit to really get to experience more.

Had an absolutly delightful time at the Casino Mine Ranch. Madison was delightful and recommended the vermentino which was delicious!! The tasting room is beautiful and the outdoor seating area was relaxing and beautiful. Candice was so knowledgable and recommended their Grenache Noir - now my favorite red over cabernet. Absolutely worth the trip to Amador county!!!
