Overview
Ironstone is nestled in California’s Sierra Foothills’ charming gold rush town of Murphys. The seven-story premier winery and entertainment complex is surrounded by 14.5 acres of landscaped gardens.
The building is a modern replica of an 1859 Gold Stamp Mill complete with tasting room, gourmet delicatessen, aging cavern, conference facilities, and the Heritage Museum and Jewelry Shoppe which contains the world’s largest specimen of Crystalline Gold Leaf – a 44-pound treasure uncovered just a few miles from the winery.
During summer, the winery’s Ironstone Amphitheater plays host to a concert series with world-class artists from several types of music.

I can’t say enough kind words about the venue and staff at Ironstone. My husband and I got married at the winery in May, and everyone went above and beyond to make our day special. Especially Christina, who helped organize and facilitate our ceremony and reception.
I went to a winery for the first time and it was amazing, atleast they let people in who don't drink wine and I really appreciate that unlike wineries in Napa. The place is huge and amazing, very beautiful ❤️ The way they have designed it and maintained it is commendable. I took a tour too and the lady who gave us the tour was very nice and friendly. I can spend my whole day at this place. This place also host car shows n musical concerts from time to time. It's a must visit.
Had a great tasting with Jeff in the tasting room, and then took a tour with Conrad all over the property… What a wealth of information we received - such a spectacular property and the story of the Family that started It is amazing. Great wines as well. we’re taking a bunch Home! Definitely, I must see in this beautiful area, as well as the Great concerts They have at the amphitheater.
A wonderful wine tasting experience. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The tasting room is beautiful and tastefully decorated but extremely functional. I started with the Chardonnay Classic *****, followed by a Chenin Blanc ***, followed by Obsession Symphony *****, then the 2021 Pinot Noir ****, and three Cabernet Sauvignons, each better than the last. The best was the Kramer Ranch Cabernet. Not inexpensive, but worth every dollar. This visit was part of the Spring Wine Weekend which allows you taste wines from 20 wineries for a $65 weekend ticket or $55 for a single day ticket. Unbelievable. 👍👍❤️ I returned in 2025 for the Estate Tour as part of the Spring Wine Weekend. A three hour tour with Buck Reed. He is so knowledgeable and provided a wonderful tour of the entire winery. Five plus stars. 🙏
Was super surprised by the sheer size and scale of this place! Was expecting a tasting room with a cute flowery outdoor area but it was not that. I was warmly welcomed and told about the place then got a plastic cup to walk around with and got to explore the beautiful grounds. Will hopefully be back for live music!
