We really enjoyed it. It was very low key, relaxing atmosphere. The food and music were great!

If you're looking for a breathtaking escape, look no further than Naggiar Vineyards. The drive in is an experience all its own, winding through stunning landscapes filled with grazing buffalo, cattle, and horses before reaching the vines. They offer a fantastic variety--every bottle we've tried has been well-made, perfectly balanced, and packed with flavor. Highly recommend! Thank you Naggiar Winery.

We saw the the Eagles Tribute Band at Naggiar Winery and had such a wonderful experience. The setting is beautiful, the wines are excellent, and the staff made everyone feel welcome and appreciated. The music was fantastic, creating a fun and relaxing atmosphere that had everyone singing and dancing along. It was the perfect combination of great wine, live entertainment, and a beautiful venue. Can't wait to return for another concert and wine tasting. Highly recommend this winery for anyone looking for a memorable day out. read more

Great wines! Staff is friendly. Pizza however is too small for $22 and $15 beer is quite expensive. I believe you can do better. The same beer is $7-10 everywhere else. You are not baseball stadium. read more

Recommend visiting for their concert series. Great place. Kind of strange that they won't allow water bottles when you are visiting. I like to have my water bottle when I am spending an evening somewhere. The concerts are fun and personal. Maybe someday they will change their water bottle policy and understand that most people are good and if you treat all your customers like the bad ones, you will lose them. read more

This winery and event location is absolutely spectacular. Sunset and moonrise over beautiful sweeping landscape. Good food, good wine and joyful dancing on the grass to wonderful music. The hosts and owners could not have been more gracious and welcoming. A great place to spend a summer evening. read more

I've been to Naggiar a couple of times for their summer concert events. The vineyard is gorgeous and the live music makes for a fun evening, but there are a few things I wish I had known in advance. The road leading in is unpaved and about a mile long, so drive slowly -- your car will get dusty, and in my case, a rock from the car ahead cracked my windshield. Tickets are on the pricey side and only cover admission; food and wine are extra. Arrive early or bring lawn chairs, since tables aren't guaranteed. The food truck lines can also be very long, so plan ahead. During one visit to celebrate my mom's birthday, I brought a small cake, not realizing outside food wasn't allowed. The owner asked us to put it back in the car and wouldn't let us sing or serve it, which felt unnecessarily strict considering how much we had already spent. Overall, it's a lovely spot and could be worth checking out, but I won't be going back after the birthday incident. Just sharing in case it helps others plan better. read more

We love this family friendly winery. It's nestled in a peaceful and scenic remote location. The owners are very friendly and make an effort to talk to their guests. The wine is fantastic. We brought our friends who are members at multiple wineries and they were so impressed that they ended up buying a few bottles. Some of our favorites are the black bear and viognier. They also have an electric concert lineup of events over the year. read more

Went for Mother's Day today. Because of their poor planning, it took 2 hours to get something to eat. They weren't prepared for the crowd, apparently. It is a beautiful setting, however. read more

This is my parents' current favorite winery local to them and they are always trying to get us to come here for one of Naggiar's weekend concerts. The time I visited previously was for a tasting (in rona times you'll need to make a tasting appointment), but this past Saturday I returned for CCsegeR with a group of family and friends. CCsegeR is a combo CCR and Bob Seger cover band, and they put on a great show. Tickets were $20 if purchased before the show, but they also had tickets available at the door for a bit more. We had made a tasting appointment for 4:15, hours before the show. Our carpool was late so this almost didn't happen, but the nice lady behind the counter let some of us taste a few different wines anyway. Bottles of wine continued to be available for concertgoers to purchase even after the tasting room closed. They also offered a handful of beers on tap during the event, including two local IPAs from Knee Deep and Crooked Lane. I liked the dry muscat, the rose, and the red blend I tried. I felt they did a good job as an event venue. It did get pretty busy around show start time, but there were enough staff to handle it. There were reserved tables and lots of additional space on the grass to set up camping chairs, which is what we did. My worry that there would not be shade turned out to be needless. Also in attendance were three food trucks: Bridge House, Fire Goddess Pizza, and Cousins Maine Lobster. The first two had vegetarian and vegan options, and Cousins Maine had red velvet whoopie pies in addition to various lobster filled things. I had a slice of cheese pizza from Fire Goddess Pizza and thought it was pretty good. I noticed they had vegan pizzas available, whole pie only. The whole pies were medium sized. I would probably come back here for a tasting or one of these concerts they do, if family or friends in the area wanted to join. The grounds and tasting room are beautiful. If you come for a show, come early for the shady grass spots and the good parking. It is not a reliable cell phone service area either, depending on who your carrier is. Check out their website for tasting appointments and the event schedule: https://naggiarvineyards.com/ read more

We love Naggiar winery. Beautiful grounds, delicious wines, wonderful entertainment and great food.

Yesterday (Friday) a group of us from my Camera Club went over Naggiar to do a photo shoot and wine tasting. Quite a few of people had never been to the winery, however, all of them were so glad we did this outing. Teena our wine server did an excellent job of describing the wines and answered all of their questions. Some did a regular tasting and some did the Reserve tasting. As I was the one who recommended the winery and outing, was really happy everyone enjoyed the wine tasting and the venue. Every one bought a couple bottles of wine and even one couple joined the wine club. I will be very honest, I am a wine club member and frequent the winery regularly during the music events in the summer. read more

Been going here for nearly 10 years! Naggiar is run by gracious and grateful owners; first Mike and Diane and now Sean and Mary. My mom first brought me here to taste "good wine" and man, this place set the bar. So spend the money, get the good wine! You won't be disappointed. Also, this is a great place to share with others! Bring a friend to a tribute band concert on a summer Saturday night! Everything from Beatles to Prince to Metallica to Garth Brooks... there's a concert for everyone! read more

Naggiar Vineyards and Winery - On the patio looking out at the pond and concert stage - Wineries Near Me - Grass Valley, California

Nestled between beautiful rolling hills and endless golden fields is Naggiar Vineyards and Winery, one of my favorite wineries to visit, located North East of Sacramento, Napa, and the San Francisco/Bay Area. I was pleasantly surprised at what a hidden gem this winery was and how close it was to where I live. The drive here is beautiful and if you're lucky enough, you'll see some farm animals on the way in and/or out. First off, as you turn on ROSEMARY LANE, be sure to maintain a SPEED LIMIT OF 10MPH OR LESS to prevent a dust bowl from forming on your way in. It also helps keep your car a little less dusty as well! There is plenty of parking available and it's a short little walk up the driveway. Since there's a pandemic (COVID-19) going on, California wineries and tasting rooms are closed, so call ahead to make reservations and/or check if their outside patio is available. There is an open grass area that overlooks a pond and sometimes food trucks on the weekends. Before the guidelines, they had live concerts with local bands every Friday, Saturday and Sunday through the end of summer. It was always so much fun and can't wait until everything settles down again. The staff is very nice and always very helpful when it comes to carrying your cases of wine to your car. Members get 3 shipments per year and also get to enjoy free tastings. For non-members, I believe they charge $5 or $10/person, which is absolutely very reasonable! My favorite at the moment is the 2017 MAMA MIA! Love, love, love! It's a white wine that's a bit on the sweeter side, but very crisp and refreshing for these hot summer nights! For all the other wines, you definitely won't go wrong with any others as the owner of the winery prides himself on having the best wines in the Auburn area! Overall, you will not regret coming to this beautiful winery. Bring some snacks and have a picnic or hang out on the outside patio! It's a gorgeous venue and the wine is absolutely amazing! read more

We joined Naggier when we moved to Grass Valley this summer. We love taking our friends there to wine taste and enjoy the wine and the views. We have also had fun at the summer events. The hills are so beautiful - it feels like we're in Tuscany. Of course, we wouldn't have joined if the wine wasn't really enjoyable! The staff was so kind when we celebrated my friend's 60th birthday "Diamond jubilee". We had a lovely picnic and all had so much fun! read more

We moved to Lake Wildwood four weeks ago from Livermore. We have spent many days wine tasting in Livermore, Sonoma and Napa. Had many concerns about Nevada County. After a few disappointing tastings including highly rated Yelp wineries we found Naggiar. These wines are extremely pleasing. Joined the wine club which we haven't done in years. Great wine, great concerts and amazing hospitality. DO NOT MISS THIS PLACE. read more

Amazing winery! Not only a great place with fantastic views but also comprised of a very welcoming/helpful staff. Their wine is VERY good as well and enough options to please your taste. They also have beer on tap and delicious food trucks that come around. The live music events are a must go if you like the outdoors ambiance! Overall Mary and Shawn make sure the place gives everyone who visits a wonderful experience! read more

I want to say I have been to naggiar winery many times, but last night the owners went above and beyond to accommodate to our party of people to be seated which I booked incorrectly .Thank you for graciousness and thank you for helping fix problem ,it was a wonderful night and that's largely in part to you guys , thanks again until we see you next time . read more

Love the service and concerts. Husband and I are members and we are so glad we joined the club.

Went to the Chad Bushnell concert last night and left totally disappointed. The sound crew (clarity sound) did a terrible job mixing it and did not make Chad sound good. It was incredibly frustrating! Please get a different sound company for next time!! Food truck and wine were great, luckily. read more

If this was a new vineyard, still trying to figure things out, I would be more understanding. While it is a nice place with a beautiful view, the service and wine tasting was a huge disappointment for us and our friends that we brought out there. They have a special spout on their wine bottles that dribbles two times into a huge wine glass. There was barely enough wine in the glass to taste it quite honestly. And being given these three glasses for $15, I was shocked. We had three tastings, so that is a total of nine glasses with no tray, no board to put them on to tell us what they were, and no offer of assistance to get them out to the table on the patio. They did write a number on our glasses, however, I had to take the wine listing paperwork in order to refer to that number to the paper. Huge disappointment. Will never go back. read more

A beautiful and picturesque scenery. It certainly is a nice change from other wineries in California. My sister & her husband- Gloria & John are frequent visitors. They are members as well. We are so lucky to be introduced to this lovely vineyard & winery. We always come back when we visit them. Thank you Mary for a beautiful afternoon. Thank you for recommending such lovely wines. read more

This winery has a nice setting and the wine was great. What wasn't so great is the way we were treated when we first approached the building. As we were approaching the building,some stressed out lady (I am assuming the owner by her self entitled actions) comes out of nowhere like a herding dog with a clip board. My guest and I got the same vibe that we were suspect and not to be trusted. We felt that she thought that we were trying to get by without paying $25 entry fee. It was the first time we had been there and I guarantee it will be the last. Rude just rude. read more

We're long time club members and have always had a wonderful experience. We always get a bottle and enjoy a picnic by the pond/lake. Today we were helped by Bella (I think that was her name) and she was very knowledgeable and helpful. We walked out with two cases after lunch. I cannot say enough good things about this winery. Mary is pretty special too read more

Once again Naggiar Winery brought out the best entertainment and hospitality anyone could ask for. Mary as always was a great hostess and the staff was fantastic. As for last weekend the food truck ran out of food early and Naggiar Winery bought 20 pizzas for all of us to enjoy. Once again going beyond what could have been expected. Well done to Mary and her staff. read more

Had an absolutely beautiful day here celebrating my mom's 60th birthday last weekend. Mary was wonderful to work with arranging an area with tables and chairs for the expected 30 to arrive. Sooo much space and fresh air to socialize with respects to social distancing. The wines are all absolutely devine. Bougie it up and bring a beautiful charcuterie and let Naggiar supply the wine and enjoy over their beautiful vineyards. This vineyard is such a gem. read more

We have been here several times and each time is awesome! Most definitely recommend visiting this place- either to enjoy the ambiance, the beauty of the winery, learn about the winery and practices, and also partake in the great wine tasting service and/or yearly events. It is truly a must to do winery visit with your family and friends! read more

Pours are very small. We also had to pay for the tastings as well as give a gratuity before service even started. How are you supposed to tip when you don't even know what kind of service you are going to get? We were with wine club members and usually servers ask if you want to revisit anything. We were not offered any extras. We were the only customers in the winery ... nobody went the extra mile. Wine was good but not in a rush to return! read more

This is one of the best vineyards we have ever gone too! We love the concerts, the assortments of wines and they have the friendliest staff!

Went to a concert last night at this winery for the first time! We loved it! The staff was so friendly, we loved Laura especially! She was so friendly! The backdrop of vines on the rolling hills was stunning. The rose was the best rose I've ever had! Will for sure be back ASAP! Thanks for the great time and the great concert! read more

I love the place. The venue is wonderful. The wines are delicious. The staff is courteous. It is always a fun time.

I came here with some friends for the food and wine pairing event that they have once a month and it was amazing! This winery is a bit of a drive out into the middle of nowhere but it is GORGEOUS! I felt like I was in a whole different world, not just 1.5 hours from Sacramento. The vineyard is on a hill and it was so picturesque! They have a small pond where you can bring a picnic and hang out, it was gorgeous like something out of a magazine. The food and wine pairing event was fabulous! The tickets are $45 and worth every penny. I thought it would just be small bites and wine samples but it was more like a high end dinner at a 4 star restaurant. The food was delicious! The first course was HUGE with cheese, fruit, nuts, and wine. The wine was probably a generous half glass pour. The entrees were small but after 5 courses, you are full and have had plenty of wine. The chef did a great job with the flavor pairings! Drinking the wine with the dishes was a revelation and made me think differently of ways to pair wine. The presenter was very informed about wine and personable. She was easy to listen to and I learned a lot. After the event, we opted to take the tour and I highly recommend this! We got to see the grounds and all the grapes. We got to taste grapes off the vine (even though it was the end of the season.) We learned all about different grapes and why they plant them in different areas. We got to see the GORGEOUS knoll where one day they'll have weddings. We got to go in the barrel room and learn about the aging process and we got to do a little barrel tasting. This was absolutely the best winery experience I've ever had! I can't wait to go back there! read more

We had the Most Fabulous time at Naggiar!! my friends and I visited the winery Sunday oct 17th 2021. we enjoyed the beautiful grounds, and the delicious varieties of wines (personally I loved the Rose) and had the Best service from Joanna and Teena. They were knowledgeable, patient, friendly, and so much fun!! As a service industry person myself, I can appreciate amazing customer service, and these 2 have it!! thank you for everything, we will definitely be returning! 110% recommend! read more

Gorgeous setting in the vineyard. My husband and I enjoyed our wine tasting along with a tasty lunch. I love that they have the bistro onsite as well with a full menu. We loved the Malbec and took home the Pinot Gris. read more

Yay what a fun winery experience! We had a nice evening tonight. We first tasted complimentary wine tasting then enjoyed some kick ass music until 9 p.m. for the summer concert series on the grass outside of the tasting room. Nothing better than good wine and good music, and both were GOOD! The service was great as well, we will go back for sure! And a shout out to Kathy for her excellent attentive service, thanks for making our first visit so special!!! read more

Wen there for the first time. Happened to be a release day. Had the opportunity to try some limited release wine and out of the barrel wine as well. What a great day. Sat outside enjoyed the view, cheese plate and a glass of wine. We'll be back. Oh, we joined the club and bought 5 bottles to bring home read more

So my girlfriends and I decided to come here on a Monday. We were unaware that wine tastings are usually open during the weekends, and closed during the weekdays (the Vegas girl in me is showing). We were suggested to come here by a worker from our original (closed) destination. Luckily enough, this was a happy accident! We absolutely loved this place! The drive up there was very scenic, filled with trees and large open grasslands. Of course, being from a desert, this was like a breath of fresh air. We stopped to take pictures with the vineyard before heading into the winery, and boy were they Instagram worthy! haha. When we came in, we were greeted by a nice lady, who said we would be able to wine taste even though we did not schedule an appointment ahead of time (score!). We tasted 7 complemental wines total, one of them even being a reserve wine (double score!). Another kind lady took over named Jane, and she was absolutely phenomenal. Super friendly and very knowledgable. She told us more about their winery like their upcoming events, and said some pretty interesting facts about wine. She made us feel very comfortable and even went as far as letting us try 3 more wines (triple score!). Did I mention that Jane was phenomenal? Out of the wines we tasted, the Petit Sirah and Cabernet Franc were my favorite - both of them are red wines. If you like very dark berry flavors with a light smokiness, you should definitely try them! My friend bought two bottles of Cabernet Franc! Overall, this place is beautiful, with amazing customer service. It was everything I expect a wine tasting experience should be. Would definitely come back here again! read more

My wife and I discovered Naggiar winery a few years ago and have been impressed ever since. The owners Mike and Diane have done an excellent job making great wine but also created a fun and relaxing ambience. The rolling foothills countryside offers a picturesque backdrop to an awesome tasting room. The staff are friendly, engaging and knowledgeable. With an on-site kitchen we always like to have a bistro lunch with a bottle of sangiovese. read more

My wife and I really enjoy Naggiar Vineyard wines, venue and service. We just had another reminder of why we joined the wine club years ago and continue that relationship today. Well here's the new experience. We changed our email address last year and didn't get the updated address associated with our membership. Yesterday we noticed the quarterly club transaction on our bank account and realized - we hadn't received our wine shipment since the email change. So we called their wine club number. Mary picked up on the first ring and listened to our story. She said she would do some quick checking and call back. An hour, and 3 calls, later the whole situation was resolved including a plan to get us reunited with our 2 missed deliveries! Outstanding service and another great interaction with Naggiar. read more
