Profile
Vineyard
Our vineyard is planted with Pinot Grigio and Pinot Noir.
Volcan Mountain Winery, established in 2015, is nestled at the base of the picturesque Volcan Mountain. Our tasting room, winery, vineyard and orchard are only a mere 2-mile scenic drive from the historic town center of Julian, which began its roots in the 1870’s gold rush. Get away from the hectic rush of city life…discover the charms of Julian.
Orchard
What do we do with all our apples? With over 20 varieties of apples, we are able to produce a delightfully delicious apple wine and apple port. It’s not a secret, and we are happy to share this with friends; we have a bubbly sparkling apple wine Pomme D’Amour for this year’s harvest in addition to the mainstay favorites Dolcezza Dulce and Pommier.
Picnics
We encourage you to bring a picnic snack to pair with your wine purchase. Please check our Events page because we do have catered food for sale on Special Event days. We have lots of space for you to enjoy a beautiful afternoon while you take in the picturesque valley with views of the Volcan Mountain, surrounding orchards and vineyards. If you listen carefully, you can hear the gobbling of wild turkeys in the distance, the screech of owls as evening approaches or perhaps catch sight of local deer nibbling on sweet apples and grasses.
Wine to me is passion. It’s family and friends. It’s warmth of heart and generosity of spirit. Wine is art. It’s culture. It’s the essence of civilization and the art of living.

About Our Staff
Melanie “Mel” works the tasting room Friday – Monday 11 – 5. In addition to having an extensive knowledge of wine, you will find Mel to be an absolute gem in answering any questions you have about Julian and the surrounding area. We are thrilled to have her to be part of our team.
On weekends, you will likely find the owner/winemaker, Jim Hart, or owner/winemaker, Mike Hart, in or around the tasting room always available to answer questions.
