Wine Tasting
Long ago, Paul Masson realized the shale soil on the mountain was perfect for growing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay - infertile, well drained, with a capacity to hold just enough water. When we re-established the vineyards in 2004, we followed Paul’s lead and planted 3.5 acres of Pinot Noir and 2.5 Acres of Chardonnay.

The Tasting Room
Our founder, Paul Masson purchased the mountain top estate in 1901 and later earned himself the title, “The Champagne King of California”. Masson was a fabulous entertainer who was credited for introducing California wine to the world. Attend a tour to learn about the influential friends who visited the property frequently to relax, drink fabulous wine, eat fine food, and seek inspiration from the beautiful estate.

Around 2000, The Mountain Winery ownership approached Jeffrey Patterson, winemaker extraordinaire who was busy making his own critically acclaimed wines at Mount Eden. It was a natural match, after all Mount Eden sits on the old Martin Ray property and Martin Ray was Paul Masson’s protégé. The relationship between the two properties had come full circle!
