    The ambiance was incredible and the wine was fantastic, if you also appreciate a tasty red Pinot and great views of the mountain you'll love it here. Certainly worth checking out! Also Heidi gave us an impromptu tour which was wonderful learning about the history and seeing a bit more of the property. Can't wait to return.

    Jesse and Heidi made our visit unforgettable. The wine was incredible, but what stood out just as much was the level of care, hospitality, and passion they brought to the experience. Learning about the history of the property made the visit even more special, and it's such a unique venue with so much character. We left already talking about coming back to enjoy one of the shows they have lined up!

    My family and I came here for the first time this past Friday for the Andy Grammar concert. I've grown up in the Bay Area and I honestly had no idea this venue existed until a few years ago. This venue is located off Highway 9 and the scenery is stunning. Especially on a cool summer evening. We purchased Box seats for the event and it came with a VIP parking pass. VIP parking is $50 which is steep. This came in handy post-concert and made for an easy exit out of the venue. Special shoutout to Phuong Nguyen who was directing traffic that day. He was extremely personable and offered to take a group photo for us. He whipped out a microfiber cloth out of nowhere to ensure a picture perfect memory. We had access to Club Masson which we were told includes free food and drink. It ended up just being light appetizers and a cash bar. I grabbed a bag of Ms. Vickie chips to snack on and didn't realize that they were expired until I was done with the bag. SMH. For as much as we paid for the Box seats, they should've at the very least ensured that none of the food served was expired. Concessions are pricey here. Club Masson was underwhelming so we ended up going back to the ground level to purchase food and drinks. The two ladies that worked behind the concessions stand could not have been more unpleasant. Minus 1 star for their terrible attitudes. None of them wear name tags otherwise I would have singled them both out. Throughout the evening, we ordered the following: - Mountain Winery Pinot Noir ($23) - 3/5 stars - Double Moscow Mule ($36) - 4/5 stars - Double Margarita ($36) - 4/5 stars - 3 event special cocktails - Honey, I'm Good ($18.50 each). We were not aware that these were batch made, served from a water dispenser... - 3.5/5 stars - 3 Local Motion Strawberry Seltzers ($14 each) - 4/5 stars - 4 bottles of Saratoga Water ($9 each) - 1 Fries ($12) - 5/5 stars - 1 Mozzarella Sticks ($14) - 1/5 stars. Nonexistent cheese pull.

    Attended an event here on behalf of my school and it was absolutely incredible. From picturesque views to beautiful structures and an amazing amphitheater --this place took my words away. Not only are you dropped into the most magical spot, but there's also wine and music....doesn't get much better than that. Staff is incredibly kind and clearly love where they work...I mean how could you not. Overall, 10/10 must go back to this spot.

    Common Kings were off the chart great! As were thei opening band High Watah! Service is phenomenal here! You won't find a better venue! Views, grape vines, beautiful buildings, trees & more! Drinks are good too!

    Look at the service price vs ticket price. It's almost a 35% charge ridiculous
    dave m.

    Don't Charge 35% service charge on tickets. Stop charging $35 car for your ridiculous fucked up parking lot

    Our company's sales kick off event was held here and it was beautiful! The drive up was a bit daunting and the talk of the night but overall I had a wonderful time. I would love to come back for a concert. Staff were friendly and showed us to the venue. Food was also great and very tasty. I really enjoyed the spicy pasta, baked cauliflower, short rib.

    Had the chance to attend 2 concerts here about a week apart this month, and they did not disappoint! The last time I was here was 2017 so it had been a minute! If you're not prepared ahead of time, the first thing that might surprise you is that parking is $25 when you arrive. Thankfully I'd pre-purchased online and my hubby and I arrived early so parking was easy. Once we went through security and the entrance, where you're already delightfully smacked in the face with gorgeous views of the winery, the valley and the super cool music venue, we were also greeted left and right by the friendliest, nicest employees and staff ever! Everyone seemed so happy to be working there, it truly was a breath of fresh air! We even had some fun conversations with a couple of the seat ushers too! A big thank you to everyone that was working the One Republic and Common Kings shows (10/3/24 & 10/12/24)! We heard/read that food and drinks here are extra pricey, and if you take a peek at the drink menu photo I added to this review, that'll give you an idea of just how pricey things really are. No outside food is allowed in of course. Glad to see that there were a few vegan options onsite, but we ate before arriving so we didn't try any of their f&b. Leaving a show here can be very tricky since there's just 1 narrow & very windy road in & out of this place, so either leave a little early or practice immense patience lol! Overall, we had an awesome time at both shows and would definitely recommend Mountain Winery for concerts! Great acoustics too and just a really cool, intimate live music experience! Just be prepared to potentially fork over a lot of $$ on top of what you paid for the concert ticket themselves...

    Best Concert Venue!!! This review is solely about the concert venue at Mountain Winery. I have not tried their wine so cannot speak on that. I have been to several concerts here and it doesn't get old. It's magical coming here in the evenings when the sun is setting and the music starts playing. My only issue with this place is the parking and concert drink prices are very expensive. Parking is simple and easy, checking in is a breeze, and everywhere you look there are beautiful views of the Bay Area. Everyone who works there is helpful during concert nights. If you haven't been to a concert here you MUST go to one and experience how amazing it is.

    Came here for a concert and thought the venue is nice. The stars are just for the performers I've watched and the view you get while up there. Pricing for food, drinks, and parking have become astronomically high. Definitely can deter people from coming.

    We went to watch Russell Peters here before, but never seen a concert. Air Supply was coming to town so we hop on it right away! The place was packed, but with premium tickets was able to park near the entrance. You can eat or drink here before the event begins. The building architecture and lights delivered a romantic vibe. Air Supply put on an amazing concert. The sound quality and the outdoor scenic view made a great atmosphere. The security or staff members did a great job helping locating our seats and providing directions to exit the parking lot.

    It's a beautiful place with great views. We went for Trevor Noah's show. The ride is a windy narrow road up the hill. Last time it took us 30 mins with traffic inching forward as everyone came in just at the show time. So we went early this time. And also to eat something before the show. We had to buy separate parking tickets. The staff is very friendly. And we learnt you cannot take big bags unless it is clear. The food and drink service was quick. Nothing gourmet, slightly expensive. The seating has good views to the stage even though we were way back. However it was cold . Do carry warm clothing , gloves, caps and socks as it can get quite windy after 8PM. Last time we had a better experience as the weather was warmer. A nice place to enjoy your favorite artiste.

    Awaiting another great concert...
    Heidi F.

    I have so many amazing memories here, and what ambience! It will always be a favorite place to see a concert. The venue and views are gorgeous, and it is so great to see my favorite artists up close. Many venues feel so clautrophobic, crowded, and so forth, but I have been to approx. 20 concerts/shows at Mountain Winery, and it is has always been a good experience. The wine is ONLY Mountain Winery, and the drinks are expensive! Also, the ride up and down the mountain on a windy dark road can be a little scary, but it is a short drive to downtown Saratoga, CA.

    Ask the Community - The Mountain Winery

    What are the arrival & departure drop-off protocols for rideshare (i.e. Uber/Lyft) for concerts? Pro's & Cons of this method vs. driving in? Estimated costs to/from points just outside the venue zone (for those that've used this option)?

    Never used it. But from what I've experienced going there I don't think it would be a problem but leaving might be as it maybe harder for them to get up to venue. When the concert is over seems to be one way.

    If an attendee has a regular ticket, is the parking fee waived for handicapped drivers with a hanging g blue tag?

    No, you still have to pay for parking. The Concord pavilion is a hit and miss regarding free disabled parking.

    Best seats to buy if you wanna stand up and dance for the entire show?

    I dont recall seeing any dance floor when I was there. Dancing in the aisle and stairs might be your only option. I dont know if it changes from show to show. I dont think so.

    I was transferred tickets, and supposedly they have VIP Area/Club/Lounge access. What does that mean? Should we get to the show early?

    There is a VIP lounge with a couple of bars and food that you can go to. It's located behind the stage. It also has a patio area with small tables so you can watch the concert from there. It is at the left side of the stage (if you're looking at the… Read more

    Hi Community, We're coming from out of town for a concert and need a hotel room close to Mountain Winery. Any recommendations?

    Saratoga Oaks a quaint and quiet place, closest to the winery, highly recommended. The Inn at Saratoga is a Hilton property, larger, also in the villlage, also highly recommended.

    We have GA bleacher seats for a concert as well as dinner reservations at La Cresta. Can we put down blanket at 5:30p to save our bleacher seats while we are having dinner?

    Are there any vegan food options?

    Yes

    I was here last night. No spacing or capacity restrictions

    Are they open now?

    Yes

    Do I need to make a reservation?i am thinking going there now.

    No reservations needed for wine tasting.

    Can I purchase concert tickets in advance at the winery?

    Hi Sarah, Our on-site Box Office opens on Saturday, May 18th.

    How far and how long does it take to walk from the parking lot to the concert seating area? I have friends who have some difficulty walking.…

    It's a small walk but there are some golf carts running that will take you to and from your car

    At what age do you charge a child? Would it be best to tailgate? Can a family with small children come and spread out a blanket?

    Not really appropriate... you can likely just pay for parking, and hang out "above" -- but, I'm sure that's likely frowned upon? (Not sure). There is "no" real place to lay down a blanket, inside the venue itself.

    Hi, there will be show(Trevor Noah) in this location in July, does the age matter ? I'm u de rage but absolutely love him and his book

    We are an all ages venue. Going to be a great show!

    I just realized that on weekends, they do not take reservations and that it's "first come first serve". Can anyone comment on how difficult it is to find a table on a Sunday?

    Depends on the weather honestly. Good weather brings more people out.

    Is there a full bar or just wine when there is not a concert? We want to visit but one in our group is allergic to wine.

    They offer beer and cocktails in addition to wine. Crazy expensive though.

    What is the difference between vip and reserved parking at The Mountin Winery?

    With VIP parking, you can park closer to the entrance of the ampitheater instead of down the hill. If you don’t have VIP parking I don’t recommend anybody in your party wearing heels because the walk is a little steep.

    The Bank is No Longer a Dive--It's Saratoga's Must-Visit Cocktail Lounge! (5 Stars)…read more I was incredibly excited when I heard the longstanding establishment, The Bank, had new owners and was getting a refresh. For years, it was a classic Saratoga dive bar, but what the new ownership has done is absolutely transformative. This isn't just a renovation; it's a complete elevation of the entire experience. The Bank is officially a beautiful, high-end cocktail lounge. The interior is upscale, sophisticated, and chic--it's the perfect place for a date night or pre-dinner drink. Honestly, the level of detail they put into the reno is stunning, and I can't get over what they did with the bathrooms--they are next-level! The new owners are incredibly friendly, present, and absolutely focused on creating an amazing customer experience. They are clearly passionate about breathing new life into this landmark location. What You Must Try: You absolutely, positively must try their signature drink, The Trophy Wife. It is a perfectly balanced, unforgettable cocktail that showcases the talent behind the bar. If you haven't been in since the change, everyone needs to go check it out. This is a massive improvement for Saratoga's nightlife scene. I can't wait to see what they do to it next!

The 2023 festival schedule includes shows in Saratoga, SF, Berkeley, and Sonoma, with lovely intimate settings in churches and wineries comprised of stunning architecture and decor. I, of course, chose to attend the opener this past Wednesday at one of my favorite venues. The Chateau Deck at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga created the perfect ambience for such an amazing performance. Alluring flagstone pavement, magnificent views in the background, the sun setting in the distance, and plenty of umbrellas for comfort before sundown, it was certainly a very inviting and fitting atmosphere. The two-part performance started about 10 minutes after the listed showtime, and lasted about 1.5 hours thereafter, including a 15-20  minute intermission. The orchestra was the star of the show for the first part, a delightful performance of Symphony No. 33 in B flat major, K. 319 (including 4 movements) on the violin, viola, cello, bass, oboe, bassoon, and horn. The second part of the event featured the same musicians playing alongside several vocal soloists/actors, as part of Mozart's Bastien and Bastienne, K. 50/46b, a German comic opera, which he impressively created at the age of 12. The play was charming and well-performed, with a nice touch of humor to entertain the audience wonderfully (especially Colas, the magician, played by Kirk Eichenberger). Though the dialogue was in English, the musical numbers were sung in German. We were able to follow along with the English translation included in the program pamphlets. Parking was free and easy, built in with the ticket price. Snacks and beverages were available for sale (pre-order, or purchase at the bar next to the stage). We had some wine and cocktails, as well as chocolate chip cookies which were chewy and delicious. In addition, all of the staff were friendly and helpful, and ensured a pleasant time at the event. Definitely a perfect date night experience :)

Since this was our second vineyard today, we decided to only share a bottle; it was only bottle service. But then the team member started giving us a few tastings?!?! Not sure if it was due to closing time and they just wanted to finish the bottles...? Either way, GREAT service! Our friends let me select the wine and vintage. After trying a few cabs, I decided on the 2011 cab which I felt was the smoothest of the 3 splashes. If you were not so far away, I might consider becoming a member. Well, I am still considering it... Ambiance - Beautiful winery. And we were able to catch the early sunset during the winter hours. Huge indoor and outdoor space, my pictures do not do it justice. Two unisex restrooms on either side of the estate. Plenty of parking, well we did get here an hour before closing. Service - 5 stars, from the greeter to the person serving us at our tables. Price - $55 a bottle + generous tip. And of course we bought a few bottles to go. After fighting to try to pay, our friend won and would NOT let us pay/treat. So nice to have good friends!
