Reviews of Paradise Ridge Winery (Winery)

Brian Baker

Mind blowing winery experience! Especially because it wasn’t planned. We were visiting in November when all the colors of nature are super bright and vivid which makes views of the winery especially stunning while you sip a glass of wine sitting on a patio.

Dean Macinskas

We're club members who used to love this place. The wines are still great, the sparkling shirazz when they have it is unique, the sculpture garden is special. This was the perfect winery until they recently stopped being dog-friendly. Their dog-friendliness was one of the main reasons we joined their club. They also just restricted their picnic area to club members, which seems too "exclusive" for our tastes. Our dog is family. If he can't come with us, then Paradise Ridge and we must sadly part ways. I will add that the presence of a pizza oven outside seemed a less-than-disingenuous reason not to allow dogs in any of the outdoor areas of the winery within reach of the tasting room. The pizza oven sits in a remote corner of one of many patios exposed to every manner of wildlife roaming up to it at any hour of the day or night, from squirrels and foxes to deer and deer mice. I'm not sure how having a dog on one of their other outdoor patios would be offensive to matters of hygeine under California law or common sense or pose a greater risk than the wildlife.

Beautiful Winery! Special Event Space too.

What a cute place! We visited on a Sunday afternoon in April 2021 and luckily we were some of the first people there. The picnic experience was lovely and the employees gave us extra attention. They have outdoor heaters on the patio too which was handy on a chilly day. We would highly recommend a stop if you're in north Santa Rosa! Jenny, Scott, and Reiner were all so friendly and welcoming.

. . . an AMAZING winery and grounds that was completely devastated by last year's fires. They are rebuilding, though, and will be better than ever when finished/ready.

(Translated) A winery on the top of the mountain with a great view. (Original) 山の上にありとても景色がいいワイナリーです。

Beautiful property and great venue for events. Unfortunately I was not a fan of any of their wines...

Alexander Lee

Cool setting and staff doing the tastings were fabulous. Worth the stop for the views alone.

james smith

Very welcoming, informative and fun tasting experience. The sculptures and works of art are incredible. What a delightfull treat when walking the grounds! It is fun and inviting. Always looking ahead to see what is next! Thank you !!!!!

Bess Ginty

We were made to wait in extreme heat for more than 20 mins and seemed unorganized. However the wines were good.

Yulia Riera

Beautiful view of the valley and fantastic cheese board, but underwhelmed by the rest of the experience. I got an "explorer" tasting, thinking it was going to include a tour of the grape vines or some hands-on experience with the sustainable practices. there was no mention of any of this. they didn't respond to my email asking if this was an accurate expectation either. they took a long time to pour and then rushed us out because of a wedding that was booked. cool statues.

Kyle Fishel

Incredible view! Good wine and a perfect place to watch the sunset.

Dana Chamberlain

“LOVE” is my feelings towards the wines, views and the people of this winery. Super bold and tasty reds, views from their new patios are breathtaking, staff and management by some of the finest folks makes this a “must” stop when choosing a place to check out! I wish I could give them 10 Stars. Go and see these people! Great wine and unforgettable memories!! Thank you, we will be back!

Kevin Griffin

Fun place for a walk. Lots of sculptures to discover.

Leah Frost

Lazy people, terrible service. Absolute disregard for the people who patronize their establishment. ZERO stars for a place with ZERO class. Seriously, go to the store, buy a bottle of wine, find a park and pretend you are there. Guaranteed better experience than going to this place!

Karen Cusolito

Lots of super cool Burner art around the grounds, including temples, metal giants, and at least one house-sized shoe. But an old lady doesn't live in it; only birds.

We're members, and we love the place. It's got great views and interesting arts. Add in sunsets and the occasional band, and it's pretty remarkable. The wine's not bad either.

Anika Venezia

(Translated) A winery with a very good atmosphere. I couldn't take a walk due to unfortunate weather, but I could only sample wine. I ordered several kinds at the counter and tried them. I bought it without worrying about my luggage, but it is not a sightseeing trip, so I can only help. From San Francisco, it takes some time to prepare, but I think it's worth coming. There was something I wanted to find out, and I wanted to go to a nearby winery, but it took a while to come, so only here. I want to come again when I have time. (Original) すごく雰囲気が良いワイナリー。 生憎の天気で散策はできず、ワインの試飲のみでしたが。 カウンターで何種類か注文し、試させてもらいました。荷物を気にしなければ買ってましたが、まあ観光旅行ではないのでしかたない。 サンフランシスコからだと、それなりに時間がかかるから覚悟が必要だけど、来る価値はあると思います。 調べたいことがあり、付近のワイナリーを回りたかったのですが、来るのに時間がかかってここだけに。時間があるときにまた来たい。

Dan Walsh

very good!

Ashley Collins

Nice tastings. Live music and great lunch truck..

Brad Dunshee

Awesome... Not sure I can say more...

Alan Bliss

Wine, sunset, music and dance ! Couldn't ask for more !

Rowan Knight

Beware! I want to put Zero Stars for Paradise Ridge Winery. I was a Wine Club Member for two weeks, and I just quit. In that short time Denise is totally scattered, unorganized and managed to screw up two wine deliveries to Denver and Charlotte. The worst part is Denise manages the Wine Club! Yet she writes up the orders completely wrong. Misspells names, lists incomplete addresses such as leaving off the house number, and routes it to the wrong city entirely. But don't expect a sincere apology when you point out the mistakes. Instead you get condescension and excuses. Their wine is good but their customer service is the worst! You better pick up your wine at the vineyard; heaven help you if you want it delivered.

Cheryl Franklin, Cheryl Teach Music

Fantastic experience and a magical view in all directions! Can't wait to share the wines I go with other over the next few weeks and visit again soon!

Jason Hader

Absolutely gorgeous estate... delicious wines.... wonderful customer service.

Lee Tourist

Watched the sunset from the patio. Gorgeous setting. Sculpture garden. We tried a rose, a Russian River Pinot and a Rockpile Zinfandel.

angelo lorenzi

Perfect!

Josh Mosberg

Kind staffs, we really enjoyed our time at paradise ridge winery. We were 30 min late for our appointment but they were very flexible at modifying our time. Great views, definitely coming back!

Chris Schuler

Winery in a hill with a beautiful view of Santa Rosa. Their notable wine is the Sauvignon Blanc, light clean fort and refreshing, perfect for a hour summer day. Other reds were so-so.

Jeffrey Jordan

Paradise Ridge Winery offers a sculpture garden and tasting room. In season, they offer bring-your-own picnic with seating on the view balcony. Very nice for informal sundown picnics with selections from the winery's tasting room or bring your own. Call them for more information.

Kristin Morgan-Hughes

Gorgeous vistas, delicious wine, amazing outdoor art installations, I highly recommend. I also recommend reserving the charcuterie plate; it's always exceptional.

Joyce Leahy

Great location and setting, good wine, non existent customer service

Nop Jiarathanakul

Very good scenery, even better wine. They have very knowledgeable staff that can give great recommendations.

Steven Haal

Very nice space, tasty sauvignon blanc, amazing view. Live music, food truck on property.

Valerie Carpenter

Made us feel extra special for our anniversary. 5 star service and then some! Thank you

It is beautiful out there. Perfect for a wedding or party.

Christopher Sawyer

Okay, I'm not a big wine drinker and in fact I have never set foot inside their tasting room! But the sculptures scattered around this place are wonderful. I've been told there is only one permanent sculpture on the property so things change from time to time. I love to visit this place to see the epic sized artworks and all who I have taken along have also loved it. Best of all, the price is perfect--free!

Hung Hsu

Great music by the Rose Town Ramblers! Sunset, views and dancing!!

Murry Shohat

The re-opening was today.... as always everything was excellent from the service, conversations with those stopping in and the wine.

Dahlia Sperling

One year later after tragic tubbs fire pardise ridge is looking good . The owners have been working with alot of famous artist and some unknown from my knowledge and landscaping property with unique sculptures and art work of all types. All i can say its gunna be a one of a kind beautiful winery thats gunna be a must for wine and art enthusiasts. Very unique, my brother Micheal has been living and working on property and the owner has been treating him like a son . My brother is blessed to be a part of this family and is becoming one hella of a man cause of it. This place is gunna be magical all right done rambling but you guys that read this review you gotta come.

Cera Culbert

Excellent sculpture exhibits.

TradewindsHD

Such a special place. Truly fine wine accented with a stunning and diverse art exhibit. Brought a bottle of 2019 Sauvignon Blanc home to enjoy with friends at a later date.

Cody Smith

We were unable to try the wine, yet their sculpture garden caught us by surprise! Interesting works and a lovely walk... Something fun and different to do during covid!

TC

The staff was amazing and the wine was superb love the auroma and the taste of the wine totally goes with the sunset over the vineyards.

max naegele

Gorgeous location!!!

I would rate this place ZERO stars (Unfortunately I had to choose one just to publish my review) Don't get me wrong, the winery is amazing but the fake money hungry people that run this winery (Martha & Beth) are far from professional. They may come across as genuine over the phone but you better bring a check book or a sharp saw to hand over an arm an a leg if you request anything out of their immediate interest. After multiple emails and ignored phone calls the picture could not be more clear. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER TAKEN THE TIME TO WRITE A REVIEW FOR ANY COMPANY, BUT I STAND BY MY WORDS.

Linda Mowles

We had a wonderful time here. Annette was amazing, sharing wine, chocolate and loads of wine/food pairing suggestions. We liked everything she poured for us, but settled on the Sauvignon Blanc, old vine Zin and Cabernet Sauvignon. Highly recommended.

Sean Sean

Everything was awesome and the view is gorgeous ????

Nancy Saunders

The Pinot noir is absolutely divine. My favorite red of all reds. Almost buttery. I didn't visit the winery itself. I hear it's gorgeous, especially for events. I met the owner, Dan, at a wine tasting. He's incredibly passionate and knowledgable about his craft.

Laura W

YPN hosted our November networking bash here and what an awesome venue. Thanks Rene and Colleeen for your hospitality and delicious wine and bites

William Sikorski

Most beautiful views in wine country! Wine is delicious. Can't wait to try the sparking brides blush! Fantastic petit Verdot and Pinot noir.

toni zeidan

New venue which is super classy. Great atmosphere with tasty wines

Boomer

Reiner was a fantastic host, he's extremely knowledgable and willing to chat. COVID-19 has changed the way the tastings work and how much availability they have, but this was the best experience we had. Also, they display a lot of art from Burning Man, which was extremely cool to see, so even just walking around was fun. We'll definitely be back! :)

Pearl Luo

Very nice

Laura Formentini

Nora Osburne

Beautiful

Carl Cheney

Very nice and peaceful place to share a bottle of wine and enjoy the sunset.

Janna Gennifer

Art and sculptures are on exhibit at Paradise Ridge and free to the public to enjoy. This winery had major losses in the 2017 wildfires of Sonoma County. Many of these art installations are from burning Man, the curators and the winery owners heavily support the artist community! The facility is open currently by appointment only and open to their club members. But the art is free-for-all as long as it’s during their normal open hours, just shoot them a message and see about visiting the sculpture gardens

Sivan Neeman

Love ???? this place! Wonderful, amazing and caring staff. The place lives up to its name!
