Exciting News!
In 2010, Miraflores was singled out as “a winery to watch” by the Wine Spectator.
Today we can tell you, with pride and joy, that we have achieved great success with our wines.
In May 2025, Wine Enthusiast scored 9 of the 9 wines we submitted for review as 91 points or above.
To date, Miraflores has 86 wines that have been scored 90 points or above by the two major U.S. wine publications,
Wine Enthusiast and Wine Spectator. Our Muscat Canelli dessert wine was also awarded as “Editor’s Choice” and
“Top100 Wines of 2017” by Wine Enthusiast.
That is quite a feat and confirmation of our hopes and efforts during the
20 years of being in business.
We very much appreciate our wonderful, professional staff and our loyal
customers who have made this possible.

Miraflores Events
Miraflores is the leading El Dorado winery known for its passion for pairing our wines with exquisite food. Many of our events are geared towards this focus including chef-led cooking classes, exotic food and wine pairing events, and the arts presented in imaginative ways.
“The Wine Spectator published on its January 31st, 2018 issue: “Smart Buys. Wineries for excellence and value.” These wineries represent all major wine producing regions of the world. A total of 1,172 wineries were included. Miraflores and a large French wine conglomerate were the only ones to have six wines each listed on the Wine Spectator list as the other 1,170 wineries had one or two wines mentioned.
“What a rare, complex and spectacular wine. Well-aged and fortified wines like this are uncommon in California, but this full-bodied and very sweet example proves it’s possible.”
