About Miraflores Winery

At Miraflores, we are people of the land. With our wines we celebrate the excellence of El Dorado, the region that inspires and guides us. The Miraflores wines are a tribute to our land and team, they are crafted to tell the story of the abundance and diversity of an extraordinary terroir.

Our wines are a tribute to craftsmanship, to the art of knowing how to do with heart and passion. They are inspired by the precision and work of our winemaker, capable of enchanting the world with our small batches.

Miraflores Winery was established in 1998. The first vines were planted during that year; the first vintage was produced in 2003. The 254-acre high-elevation property is located in the Pleasant Valley region of Placerville, runs on solar energy; part of the property is planted with 16 different grape varietals. Our Winemaker, Fernando Abarca, produces wines that have received numerous awards and accolades, including more than 80 wines that have received 90 points or above from the Wine Spectator and the Wine Enthusiast publications. Miraflores is proud to have been voted one of El Dorado’s best wineries for 9 consecutive years, from 2015-2024.

Our Tasting Room was fully completed in 2010. The goal was to create the best of a blend of Mediterranean and California Gold Country; a space to allow time to slow down and relax. Pieces from all over the world accentuate the casual elegance of the winery, from massive recycled wooden beams from the Oakland Ferry Building torn down in 1936, the 200-year old stone flooring recycled from the Mediterranean basin, and the 13th century fireplace from Crete.

Escape the hectic pace of everyday life at Miraflores and enjoy an array of wines in our tasting room, barrel room, or on the rustic stone patio overlooking the vineyards. Attend year-round events, including summer food and wine pairing lunches, with chef-created four-course meals paired with the wines selected by the winery on-site sommelier. Complimentary year-round barrel tasting, along with futures purchasing program, is available.

Miraflores is committed to protecting the local fauna and flora, establishing wildlife corridors for the free movement and migration of the animals and being Fish Friendly Farming Certified.
