Services
Milliaire Winery is a small family-owned winery founded by Liz and Steve Millier in 1983 in the cellar of their former home in Murphys CA. In 1990, the winery moved to an old Flying A gas station on Main Street in Murphys. The whole building was utilized for daily operations; barrels stacked in the repair bays, wine tanks in the backyard, bottling in the front yard and the tasting room in the office.
Ripe and opulent to the edge of jammy, with juicy, complex boysenberry and blackberry fruit. This is a brilliant wine packed full of tropical and stone fruit flavors balanced with oak and vanilla complexity that leads to a long and luscious finish. Lively on the nose, aromas of fresh violet petals and spices give way to a mouthwatering palate of ripe blackberry, raspberry, anise, and toffee brittle.
Our Tasting Room is a former Flying A gas station on the East side of Main Street in Murphys. Visit us at the tasting bar to try our latest selections or enjoy a glass of wine on our Creekside Patio. Bring a picnic lunch and have a lovely afternoon under the shade of our glorious fig tree. Dogs are welcome as long as they are on leash!

The first time I met Clockspring Vineyard owner Frank Alviso was during the 1978 harvest. Frank was delivering a load of Zin grapes to the David Bruce Winery in the Santa Cruz Mountains, where I was the winemaker. Frank's grape truck was jackknifed on serpentine Bear Creek Road, and we worked together to bring the load safely into the winery.

If I could give more stars I would! We stopped by on a Sunday early afternoon with 4 people and Linda was right there to greet us. She was the most friendly, welcoming lady. She starting us off with the bubbly and then brought out our flight with 6 different wines. She was always available to answer any questions and just made you feel that she had known you for years. She even brought us samples of 4 other wines that weren't even on the tasting list. I would 100% recommend this place and I would recommend asking for Linda, she's the best. We will definitely be back! And the wine was

We stopped at the cutest little tasting room called Milliaire winery. Linda was our server and she was so sweet. We had a birthday celebration and she started us off with a nice sparkling wine. It's a cute little cozy setting we had a table for four and the service was absolutely wonderful

This place is a little hidden gem, we had a great time and the staff was great. Patrick our server poured our wines and explained each one with great knowledge. Patrick was very friendly, helpful and the patio was adorable. There was a few wines that we really enjoyed, in fact we bought two bottles. The wines in which we could not decide Patrick poured a couple additional tastes into our cups for decision making. Then there was Ms. Linda, gracious she was so friendly and kind and kept our attention while we enjoyed our wines just conversating. I would highly recommend visiting the Milliaire if

Super fantastic! We went to a few different places where the offered wine tastings and this was by far our favorite. They had a very relaxed vibe and knew what they were doing. They only pour if you have reservations - which you can actually make online! Thank you thank you for allowing that, sometimes we aren't able to call to make reservations during business hours and this was fantastic.
When we arrived, they already were expecting us and poured all our wines for us at once which we were able to pour into our glasses at our own pace. We did not feel rushed to make room for the next group

Really enjoyed our tasting with Patrick today. We sat outside in garden and tried a number of wines. Our favorite was the calaveras zin and the fortified. Just a great dive and very relaxed with wonderful hospitality and lovely wines. Patrick was a highlight of the day. Thanks so much!

Linda at Milliaire is so wonderful. Milliaire is a spot we make sure to always stop at. The ambience outside while you wine taste is amazing. The old vine zin is my favorite. When wine tasting in Murphy's make sure to stop in for a wonderful wine tasting experience.

One of the best tasting experiences in this region of CA! The wine was spectacular (had to leave with a few bottles), and the service was incredible as well. I arrived shortly after they opened and was able to grab a table outside. Patrick, my server, was extremely knowledgeable and attentive. -- Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for great wine, with a great experience, in Murphys, CA!

Best winery in the state based on my opinion!! We found this gem of a winery in downtown Murphys, CA. I really enjoy the Ghiradelli Zinfandels they produce. The Clockspring Zin is nice as well. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable but not stuffy. They have a nice little patio to the rear for tasting and a small view of the river that runs through Murphys. Please stop in.

We joined their Wine Club and can't wait for the next delivery.

This place is awesome! It is on Main Street in a converted gas station. They did a great job of retaining the charm of the original building while turning it into a lovely, modern winery.

Their wines are delicious and they make some that you can't find everywhere. With that being said, what really elevates this place is their staff. They were absolutely wonderful! Knowledgeable and a lot of fun!

If you are in Murphys, this is a great place to stop in and have a glass of wine or do a tasting flight. You will not be disappointed!

I made reservations for my friends 50th birthday and the wonderful staff made it extra special, we sat overlooking the creek and it was beautiful. Linda was so kind she was so welcoming we were a group of 6 and we all enjoyed the wine tastings, we also had a bottle of the sparkling wine and we all loved it!! We went to 4 other winery's and Milliaire was by far the best, best atmosphere, best staff, and the best wines!! If you visit Murphy's, Milliaire is a must stop and wine taste

It was my first time visiting Murphys and we saw this cute little winery, so we decided to check it out. It's super cute. We walked in we were greated by Linda who is just amazing. She explained everything to us in detail and sat us at our table in the back where there were patio heaters and lovely sounds of water flowing from a near by creek. It was such a relaxing experience and they definitely left a wonderful lasting impression on me. Linda was so amazing and attentive and she made this experience that much better. And the Wine was phenomenal! The Gewürztraminer was my personal favorite!

They were super rude to us because we didn't have a reservation to taste. All we did was ask if we could do a drop in because the parking lot was completely empty.

I guess they didn't want our business?

Excellent experience from start to finish! We felt particularly safe engaging in a wine tasting during Covid times. Everything was physically distanced, all staff wore masks, and hand sanitizer at the door. Of note, our server Linda was delightful. She was kind, attentive, and gave wonderful suggestions for local outdoor attractions. She even provided a goodie bag for our fur baby. We will certainly be back!

Milliaire is our favorite winery in town. The wines are delicious and the staff is so nice. We love to spend afternoons under the gorgeous fig tree next to the creek. A perfect spot for a good glass of wine on a warm day!

We popped in really so my wife could use the bathroom! Thank you! We ended up also doing a tasting in the back courtyard, right next to the babbling brook. We stopped in on a Monday and they were relaxed on their reservations. They were very welcoming. We ended up purchasing a bottle of their sparkling wine. We were glad we stopped in.

First time visiting Milliaire Winery and was very pleased we stopped by. First of all, Gina is amazing. She made us feel welcome the moment we walked in. Secondly, she was able to balance time with all the guests she was pouring tastings for. Well done.

Whether you are looking for a White or Red, Milliaire Winery is a Fun Winery to explore. Gina was the Best. Be sure to ask for her as you will enjoy getting to know the winery better. Love their sparkling wine. Grab a glass and go out on patio in the back to chill for a while while savoring their wines.
