Wine Tasting at Lava Cap Winery

We are open for outdoor tasting, 7 days a week from 10am-5pm!

High in the Sierra Nevada Foothills of Northern California, the Jones family has been dedicated to the production of premium estate grown wines utilizing only mountain-grown grapes since 1986. The unique volcanic soil that the winery is named for and the mountainous topography are ideal for the creation of world-class wines. This spectacular environment with the high Sierras as a backdrop is a wonderful setting where we welcome you to sample the wines in our tasting room and enjoy a picnic in the gardens overlooking the vineyards.

Hours of operation are 10-5pm daily, last seating is at 4:00pm.
Walk-up tastings and picnic use welcome.
Reservations not required, but if you would like to make one, please call the winery at 1-530-621-0175.
