One of the last rituals we have today is #wine. Gathering friends at the table, breaking bread, creating memories – it's all part of what we experience when we enjoy a bottle of wine. That's why Ridge Vineyards has enthusiastically joined the Come Over October movement. Invite your friends, family, and colleagues to “come over” during the month of October to share wine and celebrate friendship and in-person connection. Join us in supporting the campaign: visit comeoveroctober.com or start a conversation with us.

Exceptional single-vineyard wines since 1962
About us
For the past 50 years, Ridge has championed a pre-industrial approach to single-vineyard winemaking, searching California for those rare vineyards where climate, soil, and varietal are ideally matched. Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon account for most of the production; syrah, grenache, and carignane constitute the balance. Known primarily for its red wines, Ridge has also made limited amounts of chardonnay since 1962.

Did you know? Paso Robles is one of the largest AVAs in California. 👉 Because of its immense size, the AVA was split into 11 sub-AVAs. 👉 There are approximately 33,000 #vineyard acres planted with wine grapes. 👉 Heritage varieties zinfandel, syrah, grenache, cabernet sauvignon, and rhone-style whites have become hallmarks grown in Paso Robles. At Ridge Vineyards, we source old vine #zinfandel from the Dusi Ranch, which was planted in 1923. RIDGE has made wine from the ranch consecutively since 1967. Pair the warm climate with the unique soil profile and you get concentrated, exotic aromas from this #wine: plum, black cherry, strawberry compote – deep, dark red & black fruits.

What does "single-vineyard winemaking" mean? By harvesting, fermenting, and bottling each wine based on its vineyard, we allow the unique soils, climate, varietals, and TLC of each vineyard to shine. Our winemaking style simply focuses on highlighting the unique locations named on the label. Every #vineyard has a story.

Cast Your Vote! RIDGE has been nominated for a PACK Design Award 🏆 If you're excited about seeing sustainable #packaging alternatives in the industry, we hope you'll #vote for the RIDGE Monte Bello Box here: https://lnkd.in/dMA2W4Bz Why Vote for RIDGE? Last year, we transitioned away from using wooden boxes in our Monte Bello program for wholesale and export, aiming to adopt a more sustainable (yet still luxurious) approach. We introduced an alternative 3-bottle packaging made from 100% recycled paper, water-based ink, and green cell foam packing materials. This innovative foam product is a natural, environmentally friendly option made from corn that dissolves in water. Design: Revel Brand Design Packaging: PackagingArts, Inc. Our box has been nominated for a "PACK Design Award," a competition hosted by WineBusiness Monthly, in alternative packaging.

Farming Practices in an Organic Vineyard 100% of our Estate vineyards are certified to the USDA #organic regulations - that's over 400 acres certified by Organic Certifiers! We employ a variety of farming practices to achieve this, but many of our choices were made because they benefit the land. These #regenerative farming practices are designed to improve soil quality over time. Find a list of our farming practices (and view our certification) at the link below: https://lnkd.in/gDppQnci #vineyard #farming #certified #sustainable #wine #winetasting

VP of Business Development: Helping Improve Wine By-The-Glass Profitability, Guest Experience and Sustainability using the Only Reusable Package in the Wine Industry with National Availability
Pride in Partnership Part 1️⃣ 1️⃣ Ridge Vineyards’ reputation for consistent quality and sustainability is second to none. This is evidenced by their early success at helping California wine achieve global recognition at the original Judegment of Paris tasting in 1976, and their Monte Bello Cabernet proceeding to win by a landslide the 2006 reenactment featuring the same highly esteemed wines. Ridge's work with Zinfandel has also been transformative, helping elevate the grape's reputation from being primarily suited for blending or lower-tier varietal wines to producing consistently unique, world-class wines. Furthermore, Ridge has established itself as a remarkable leader in sustainability. They have achieved 100% organic certification for their estate vineyards and designed their Lytton Springs facility with cutting-edge techniques to reduce environmental impact. As members of the IWCA - International Wineries for Climate Action, Ridge is progressing towards net-zero emissions. Their eco-friendly packaging includes lightweight glass bottles, no wasteful wooden boxes, and, as of last year, Free Flow Wines’ reusable steel kegs for On-Premise accounts like Sixty Vines. Ridge offers two unique venues for hosting visitors – Lytton Springs (Sonoma) and Monte Bello (Santa Cruz Mountains). Both tasting rooms are well worth the visit, but until recently I underestimated the beauty and amazing history on display from 2,600 feet in the clouds at Monte Bello. Despite its serene, remote feel, Monte Bello is only a 30-40 minute drive (20 miles) from San Jose Airport. I hope you can find time to visit! ✨Pride in Partnership Series✨ Intro: https://lnkd.in/gAAgMPEq Part 1️⃣ Round Pond: https://lnkd.in/gbaTCfS5 Part 2️⃣ Markham: https://lnkd.in/gb8TN647 Part 3️⃣ Tablas Creek: https://lnkd.in/gCzgbepN Part 4️⃣ Robert Hall: https://lnkd.in/gq-AjGcB Part 5️⃣ DAOU: https://lnkd.in/gKfHisYB Part 6️⃣ Au Bon Climat: https://lnkd.in/gvSgiinu Part 7️⃣ Trefethen: https://lnkd.in/g5Zh4yka Part 8️⃣ Ken Wright: https://lnkd.in/gK9SmGeS Part 9️⃣ Amaterra: https://lnkd.in/gQ7ZjKDd Part 🔟 Adelsheim: https://lnkd.in/g3fM9HyB #wine #sustainability
