About The Winery

Volcan Mountain Winery sits at the base of Volcan Mountain on Julian Orchards Drive, just a two-mile scenic drive from the historic center of Julian, a town that began with the 1870s gold rush. Established in 2015, it brings together a tasting room, winery, vineyard and orchard, and focuses on hand-crafted, responsibly produced wine.

What to expect: crisp mountain air and a friendly tasting room open Friday through Monday from 11 am to 5 pm. A tasting of four wines is $15, wine is sold by the glass, and you can take home a souvenir glass. The staff are known for knowing the wines and for being great guides to Julian and the surrounding area.

Nearby: Pair Volcan Mountain with downtown Julian's tasting rooms, Blue Door Winery and Julian Wine & Chocolate, plus Menghini Winery and Storum Ranch. See our Julian wine country guide and plan the day with the Wine Tasting Day Trip Builder.
