Ridge Vineyards

We had a wonderful tasting experience with Nick. The wines were very good and he explained the regions and blends very well. The winery has several tiers of areas to visit that we weren't able to explore bc of the winter weather, but I look forward to coming back to visit again.

The narrow winding road up to this winery is not for the faint of heart. We luckily ordered an Uber driver who also stayed and waited 2.5 hrs while we did our wine tasting. According to the host, other Uber/Lyft drivers only do drop off and didn't want to come back for pickup and patrons had to order taxis down. So plan your rides accordingly or have a designated driver in your party. The view was absolutely gorgeous and the private tasting room was very spacious. Our tasting room attendant was very knowledgeable and easy going. The lady in training also was very friendly and helpful as well. Our experience was enjoyable and not rushed at all. The charcuterie went well with all the wine we tasted. We bought 4 bottles of the Monte Bello and a few other ones. My mom bought a case of their Grenache Blanc. We had a lovely time celebrating my Mom's 80th birthday here.

The view here is absolutely insane! It is located all the way up at the top of a mountain and the road is very windy but worth the wait! Be careful and do not drink and drive. Service is very personable and gave us extra tastings which is so sweet of them. I have some favorite wines from here and overall would come back here for some exclusive new wine tastings.

Went for a drop in on mother's day last year, in lytton springs. We had our children with us. Club member for 30 years. I was met at the door, saying my children were not welcome, but my dog was OK? WTF. I said I'll just pick up my shipment. " did you call ahead?" No, it's a club pick up, same as I've done for 20 years. Major attitude, unfriendly staff. It's was like they were actively trying to work as little as possible. 3 staff parked behind the bar doing nothing. We ended up at Mozzocco, kids welcome , rose for my wife.Ridge, thanks for nothing. Revise your 5 year old covid BS family unfriendly policy.

Drove up Montebello Road to visit Ridge Vineyards on a beautiful sunny Saturday day. Gorgeous wines, spectacular views, and great service. Carolyn greeted us as we walked into the tasting room. We had a table in the VIP room and she gave us a history of Ridge wines, their vineyards, their partners and explained the different varietals. It was an excellent experience.Although the steep drive may be a challenge, there is plenty of parking in the their lot and the wines are worth the experience. There are also tables and chairs for you to enjoy the panoramic views. Thank you Carolyn!

Lucky Me! Not only do I adore Ridge Vineyards wine, but a friend who is a member invited me to a wonderful food/wine pairing event where the food was creative vegetarian and the wines yummy. Please see my photos. Situated in the Cupertino hills, the winery offers beautiful views, plenty of shade, seating/tables, and the pourers are friendly. Parking is limited and carpooling is encouraged, but there was parking staff on hand to maximize the available space. Because we brought food to snack on, the assistant manager kindly explained that no picnicing will be allowed after today as many people do not clean up after themselves causing the staff to do extra clean-up. Too bad. With the heat abating in its intensity, the event was a comfortable time with friends.

Had a wonderful experience at Ridge with Josh as our host! He was so knowledgeable and was able to answer our questions in a way that we could really understand. I now can differentiate and identify some of the more intricate differences when wine tasting thanks to Josh! He even went out into the vineyard and picked a few grapes for us to try as part of the explanation he was giving us. And of course the wine was fantastic! Thanks so much for a great time!

Come to listen to the staff telling the story of the Judgement of Paris and enjoy the amazing view of the valley. For $30, taste the famous 2012 Monte Bello. I personally find it very smooth but am a bit disappointed at the light aftertaste. Our host Nick was funny and attentive in managing our tasting experience. All tasting requires appointments and are indoor seating. Lots of blooming flowers around the estate including roses and California poppy.

Great wines and service in beautiful setting. Israel and David were so knowledgeable and friendly,

I visited the Lytton Springs location recently, and was very excited, as I enjoy Ridge wines a lot. When I arrived for my reservation, I was told the woman who would host me was busy, so I waited 10 minutes for her to greet me. I was alone this day and she catered more to the other group in the tasting room and didn't help me much at all. As someone who is also in the wine industry, I was disappointed that it seemed like I was bothering my host by being there and that she didn't seem to have time for me. I won't be going back, but I will still buy Ridge wines.
