A short distance from Yosemite National Park lies a small, peaceful valley. There is clean air, forest all around, and fields of plump, juicy wine grapes growing among the hills. This is our home.

The Gerken family arrived in Mariposa in 1972, and have been developing their family vineyards ever since. The mountain spring water, clean climate and zesty Sierra Nevada soil provide the perfect setting for the premium wines that Butterfly Creek Winery produces.

Butterfly Creek Winery and Vineyards is set on 200 acres adjoining the Sierra Foothills, yet only 45 minutes driving time from the borders of Yosemite National Park. When visiting the winery plan a picnic lunch next to our own bubbling "Butterfly Creek."

Visitors may tour the winery on Friday and Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. or anytime by appointment. Aside from our winery tours, we also host weddings, and other events such as car club stopovers. If you're looking for the ideal location to stop, relax, and breath the sweet mountain air with the region's finest wine at your fingertips, look no further than Butterfly Creek Winery.

Winemaker: Bob Gerken

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
