The winery hosted our Wine Group with catering done so very, very well. The winery folks were so accommodating and the view is worth the drive up the mountain. Lovely art all along the drive and viewed from beautiful deck and tasting areas. Great wines too!

We stumbled upon this winery while out walking one morning. It was chilly because it was March, but I'm betting it would be amazing during the warm summer months. The gardens have a vast array of small, medium and large sculptures collected for decades on display in a big open area and along their circuitous gardens. We loved it so... More

Enjoyed stopping here very much this place has personality and my photos don't do it justice. Rolling beautiful hills with shrubbery and studded with a changing artwork. Sadly I didn't photo the artwork they had in the grounds. You can tour the grounds yourself without a fee. I enjoyed two of the four (I think four) wines I tried here... More

Great Views... really cool sculptures as you drive up the hill to get to the tasting room... however the wine was just OK and way overpriced. We brought home 17 bottles of wine from Sonoma/Santa Rosa and none of them were from Paradise Ridge. We stayed at a B&B and in most cases if you do the same you will... More

If you like sunsets and pampered picnics, Paradise Ridge is the place. Bring your goodies to eat and buy some wine, relax and enjoy the view. Also set aside some time to see the sculpture garden, also the best in Sonoma County. Lots of them and BIG pieces.

As part of a wine tour, the group I was with stopped at the satellite location. From the road it doesn't seem like much. Actually it seems like a folksy art dealer's front yard. However, Annette, our host for the experience was a riot, who unpretentiously and entertainingly navigated us through their wines. The chardonnay, cab sav and pinot noirs... More

A friend and I found this winery on line before our trip to the sonoma valley. We are so glad we did. We bought tickets (only £5 each) to their sunsets in paradise evening. It happens each week during the summer months and you can try their wine and either bring a picnic or try a local food truck. It... More

I have been a few times. I go for the experience, rather than the wine.The place is beautiful and delightful to visit. Nice to walk around, admire the landscaping, look at the view. Great when there are special music events. But for wine I prefer other wineries.

Annette is much more fun that the folks up at the main winery and makes you feel like family. Paradise Ridge wines are not cheap, but the prices seem fair for the quality of product. We like the little place in Kenwood for the cozy atmosphere and the more casual air that Annette creates with her friendly banter and well... More
