Iverson Vineyards & Winery

Mike and D are the best! Spending time with them is such a joy. We belong to the wine club, so we get discounts on wine and we get invited to all the special events. We love the view and the hospitality. Always enjoy the afternoons we spend with Mike and D.

Iverson is the place to go if you’re looking for some excellent flavored sparking wine. The Raspberry Sparking Wine from Iverson is one of my favorite treats to share with friends. It also makes the most delectable mimosa you’ve ever had. This is one of my family’s favorite stops when visiting El Dorado country wineries.
Additionally, you’ll find the staff accommodating and a plethora of extra wine-​related trinkets and add ons inside the Tasting Room.
Tasting is free here, and you’ve got quite a list to go through. Iverson has an exceptional tawny port that I quite enjoy.
Try the seating on the outdoor veranda if it gets too crowded inside, which does happen often.
No worries, there is a ton of parking.

Haven’t been to the Fairplay region in much too long. Only stopped at a couple places & I was very glad this was one of them. The owners are very nice & welcoming. I enjoy talking about the wines without being talked down to. They also had a really good selection of varieties. I already know we will be back soon!

Glad they have Sparkling wines in addition to other wines. These folks are inviting and get you served right away. It was a little crowded in there but everyone managed very well. Even tho we went in the Fall/​Winter the outdoor space in nice weather has to be outstanding. Great views and tables and chairs to have a picnic and enjoy wine. I’d like to come back in the Spring/​Summer.

This is always a stop for us when we visit. Our last vistit was by far the best. We were the only couple in the place and the owners treated us like we were family. Bought a case of champagne for my wedding as well as joined the champagne club. Will be returning again and again.

Fell in love with this little place. Beautiful location with a very wide selection of wines and bubbles. My wife loves «bubbles» and they always have at least 5 or 6 flavors they make along with all of the varieties of wine in production at the time.
Nice outdoor seating area for lunches with spectacular scenery. Roaming hills… you get the point. Winery and vineyards are beautiful, right? You can also get one-​on-​one attention if you go at the right time. Usually pretty busy but if you plant yourself at the end of the tasting bar, you will eventually be talking to the winemaker himself. Very friendly couple who love to interact.
Same family ran couple are always there along with the other familiar faces. When wine tasting in Fairplay/​Somerset, do not drive past the spot without giving them a try. Some places you only see the employees and staff. This is one where you will be talking to the owners who love to talk wine.
You will not be disappointed. Wines and Bubbles are all average prices and not pretentious at all. This is what we look for in our spots and this has become one of our favorites.

Hands down our favorite winery in El Dorado County! Great staff, very friendly and knowledgeable. Great selection of varietals and outstanding bubbly! Always a pleasure to visit!

The staff is amazing!!! Unlike some of the other wineries we went to, we didn’t feel rushed or unwanted by the staff since we’re young 20 somethings. The wine is delicious so we bought several bottles and had lunch on their grounds. Beautiful and ready to visit again :)

The owners and staff at Iversons are just top notch! They are so friendly and you always have the best conversations. Great picnicking area– amazing views. Very drinkable wines– lots of bubbles for the girls including a POMEGRANATE! That is right a pomegranate sparkling wine and a really good almond as well. Great stop– especially in the summer.

Amazing wines. Amazing scenery. One of my must-​go-​tos when I am visiting family. Almost feel like a regular when I’m there. Mike and Dee are great also, very friendly, unpretentious.

If you are wondering around El Dorado County and looking for a nice place for a picnic, Iverson is one of the places you should try. They have plenty of tables on their patios and a great view of a little valley covered in vineyards.
Oh, the wine is pretty good too! The people behind the bar are friendly, so don’t be scared to ask questions or make conversation if you are new to the wine tasting adventure.

Mike and Dee are warm and friendly. I always get a BIG HUG from Dee when I walk in. The wines are GREAT, the view is Aswome and there is plenty of parking. A wounderful place to visit

I really like Iverson’s wines. They are all very tasty and easy to drink. The owners are so nice and seem so excited about their winery (they are pretty new/​opened within the past few years). The location is pretty, they have a great tasting room, and they are building a really neat wine club members only tasting room.
They have a ton of wines that they make and they will pour you everything to taste. All of the wines are very reasonably priceed. They have some really fun bubbly too. The one thing that I do have to say about the wines here though as while I really enjoy them and think they are pretty tasty, they are not the full bodied heavy tannin flavor you are used to in most red wines. Their cab here is really good and I really like it because it is a cab that my mom will even drink! She hates cabs because of how heavy and in her words «bitter» they are, some how this one works for the both of us so I am happy.
All in all good and very drinkable wines!

I only sampled their sparkling wines and I’m sure glad I did. I have found my absolute favorite sparkling wines. I tried their regular, almond and raspberry. All were excellent but I swear when I tasted the almond I thought I’d gone to heaven. It has just enough of a hint of almond to compliment the wine and wasn’t overly sweet. I took a bottle to my friend’s house and everyone there raved about it. There were also some people in there ordering cases for their upcoming wedding and I think they made an excellent choice.
The winery itself is very cute with all kinds of things to buy. I bought some wine glass flip flops because no wine glass is complete without them.
They also had a nice assortment of blown glass accessories and a gorgeous stained glass lamp that my friend snagged.
