Lula enjoyed the afternoon sun.
Amy H.

We LOVE this place. (There is a LOVE statue in case you weren't aware!) The property is sprinkled with various sculptures that evoke emotional responses and some of them are just incredible. (My personal favorite is the Door Tower but my husband likes the Shoe.) The views from the tasting room are incredible. The wines themselves are sublime. And service has always been great for us. Very personable and accommodating. Shout out to Luis whose mother raised a real gentleman. We became members because we were simply blown away by the place.

Had my first wine tasting here and loved it! Great wine selection and the charcuterie board was delicious. The view was beautiful and made the whole experience even better. Luis was super friendly and knowledgeable, which made it a perfect first tasting. Would definitely come back!

Charcuterie board

We had a fabulous afternoon tasting wines and a charcuterie board. Louis was an awesome host. He was personable, funny; just a down to earth nice gentleman. We sat outside under an umbrella enjoying the breathtaking views from their lower section. We couldn't ask for a better way to celebrate our pre-anniversary day.

Wow! I'm so glad I found Paradise Ridge Winery. The estate is breathtaking. The views of the vineyards and amazing sculptures will blow you away. I did a tasting today and Dana was incredible. She's so knowledgeable and patient (I had a lot of questions). And the wines! My faves were the Sauvignon Blanc, Rose, and Old Vine Zin. I will definitely be back to visit Paradise Ridge!

So many wineries in the area is is difficult to choose! This winery is right off a main road, but you'll never notice that once you arrive, its quiet and peaceful. The vineyards are gorgeous, and they had art sculptures throughout the vineyards as well. We came as walk-ins for wine tasting which was $35. Our server was so pleasant, friendly, and knowledgeable she really made our experience. We sat outside under umbrellas that overlooked the winery. They do serve food here but we didn't eat. We had a great time

Wow! I'm impressed. Good wine, beautiful views, phenomenal service. Came in for a tasting, mentioned I was in the industry, expecting they'd roll their eyes at me for coming in on a Sunday. But they not only poured me extra wines, but treated me to small bites while I sat and enjoyed the sunshine. If you know this place, you know how affected it was by the fire in 2017. It's emotional but beautiful being back 8 years later and seeing the changes it's gone through. Gabe and Lynn gave me one of (if not THE) best experiences I've ever had in Sonoma County! Will absolutely be back!

Cheese & meat board

Paradise ridge is a hidden gem tucked away in the hills of Santa Rosa. They have art sculptures lining the scenic drive up to the winery which is perched overlooking the vineyard. We are member and enjoy bringing friends for a complimentary tasting as part of our membership. The panoramic sweeping views are amazing and you can dress it up or down. It's nice and casual. I've only ever had the cheese & meat board which was adequate - nothing special. A bit pricey and not very shareable if you have more than 2 people. These wines are my favorite. I love the sauv blanc, rosé, and even the Chardonnay which I'm usually not a fan of, but I make an exception for paradise ridge. The staff are always super friendly and personable. They keep an eye on your glass and know when to come offer you more. They often have fun events such as "Wine and Sunsets" which are during the summer and have live music, food trucks and great people. It's fun to connect with your community here. Can't wait to go back next month for another tasting

Complimentary Champagne taste.

The paradise Ridge winery was delightful. Hubby and I were able to secure a reservation the same day as we visited. The views are amazing and the hospitality was a five out of five hubby enjoyed the $45 offering of tasting their red wines. He enjoyed them all.

The View, The Sunset, The View, just Stunning.

Feels like you're above the clouds. Such a gorgeous winery, high in the Santa Rosa hills, it was the perfect place to celebrate Mardi Gras. There are plenty reasons to visit, not only for award winning wines but each month, even in winter, they have weekly events and they are Fun. Check out their calendar of events. I attended the Mardi Gras celebration. It was a blast with authentic New Orleans cuisine from Bayou On The Bay with an authentic New Orleans chef. I had the Mac & cheese with Crawfish, delicious. They had other classic New Orleans food too even Gator, yup that swap loving critter. As we laughed and enjoyed the collective joy in the room, Bourbon Street Brass Band played in the background. They blasted out classic NOLA Jazz. Paradise Ridge knows how to throw a party and make wine as well. We got there early enough to enjoy happy hour 5-6pm. We started with a sparkling rose that was a beautiful color matching the evening sunset and the flavor was as lovely. I moved on to their 2020 Convict Zinfandel, it was smooth & not overly fruity or heavy on the palate, as a lot of Zin's can be. It was perfect. I highly recommend both. Paradise Ridge Winery rises above most wineries, the location, surprisingly in Santa Rosa, high in the hills, offering an unprecedented view of the valley below. It faces west so there is a guarantee sunset, of course rain & excessive clouds would be a factor. It is an expansive setting with various art pieces throughout the property. It has many terraces with plenty of seating for large parties and smaller intimate areas as well. There is indoor seating and covered seating. It's a modern architecture building with plenty of parking. In the winter since it is pretty high up it can be a bit chilly so bundle up but don't let that hinder you. I highly recommend Paradise Ridge Winery for their selection of wines as well as location, it's Stunning. All the people that serve are exemplary. It's a must stop before you head further North up the road to other wineries or stop on the way back for a great glass of wine and a sunset that never gets old.

Went on a Saturday with my best friends sister-in-law who is a club member here. We did the complementary tasting for the club members which included a rosé, a brut and two reds one being a pino. The view is spectacular. I would've liked them to be a little more attentive to us, but they seemed really busy. Plus they had a wedding reception that was starting, but overall it was a good experience. I definitely want to come back on my own and try their other tasting options.

Kary A.

Small family-owned winery with a cozy tasting room. Staff was very friendly. Location is beautiful! We got to see a beautiful sunset. Our server Jessi was just great. She told us all about the different options for tasting we had and what foods would pair well with them as well. We ended up getting the Estate experience and got a Charcuterie board to enjoy with our wines. Loved all the wines & the service. Can't wait to be back

Saw the good reviews and decided to visit while in wine country. Dana was fantastic and gave us a great wine tasting while also recommending other wineries to visit during our stay! Definitely will return next time we're in Cali!

Helen H.

When in Santa Rosa... wine. I'm not much of a wine drinker, so four of us shared two flights. We also ordered a cheese and charcuterie board, which were pretty basic. The best thing about the place is the view. It overlooks the vineyards and city. There are also some large sculptures around the property. It wasn't too busy when we went on a Saturday around noon.

Ask the Community - Paradise Ridge Winery

Are dogs allowed at Wine & Sunset event in the Veranda?

Not on the Veranda, any of the terraces, or in the tasting room.

Are kids allowed on the grounds?

They are welcome to enjoy the garden areas and are welcome in the Tasting Room, but need to stay seated at the table and not run around.

Is it ok to just visit the sculptures on the grounds? I dropped off a Lyft passenger there today who was a bridesmaid in a wedding and wished I could have pulled over and just explored :)

Yes, I believe you can. There was multiple families around the area taking pictures.

Are you dog friendly?

There are plenty of places on the estate that are dog friendly. Unfortunately dogs are not allowed in our tasting areas or patio's and terraces. Basically the hospitality center. There is a self guided vineyard tour as well as many outdoor… Read more

Their wines were delicious; the whites had a hint of elderflower scent and there was a nice, lighter Chardonnay, not too buttery. For reds, the Cab was full bodied and fruity. Their Malbec tastes authentic and showed off the winemaker's South American roots. Our very knowledgeable and cheerful guide Nicole, said the winemaker came from Chile. Her descriptions were helpful and she had a friendly, energetic enthusiasm which showed a true love of her job. The was a good full plate of cheeses and salamis available.

We stumbled across this property on a recent visit with my dad who lives in the area and I'm so glad that we did. We didn't have reservations but we're still accommodated. Chris took us through our tasting for the day and was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and had a ton of great food recommendations for the area. The estate tasting consisted of 6 wines for $35. We were given a delicious pour of their non vintage brut rose as a welcome pour. I enjoyed all of the wine that we tasted through. Somehow during our visit I missed their lavender gardens but that just means I have to plan another visit.

Cathleen Vicini (owner) is a delight to visit with, not just about wines but her dogs, parrot, the Italian influence in their wines (her husband), much more... I'm just a good ole boy, wino in training, having moved here about a month ago from Silicon Valley (no place for ole men any-longer). The Trecini experience is different from what tourists seem to gravitate to, you know the disneyesque/romantic vision of a winery. Trecini is a tasting boutique where one enjoys privacy along with personal attention. Plenty of time for questions from a master at the trade. Tasting only whites, as red's chemical additives trigger a migraine, Cathleen pointed out many of their wines come from Italy with "no" additives. This led to me tasting one of their wonderful reds with no reaction. There was also a very interesting surprise when she introduced me to their Sparkling Rockpile Zinfandel. They partner with Mumm to produce this fun, delicious wine. I'm committed to the claims, purchased some. Where are they; Located on what some might call a side street from Downtown Santa Rosa. Highly recommend you give them a try.

I have enjoyed this offering at St Francis at least once a year and it never disappoints. The food is fresh, unique and delicious, the flavors accentuated by the wines.

The service was attentive and friendly as always, with a lot of knowledge about the food, wines and region shared through the meal.

The reds were a pinot noir and zinfandel, but neither really stuck to me. For the whites, it was a sauvignon blanc and chardonnay. The chardonnay was okay but the sauvignon blanc was my favorite out of all 4. Not only does it smell sweet and fruity, but it also tastes like it! I ended up buying a bottle of it to bring home ($35 if you're not a member). Our wine was paired with 12 spreads. All of them were delicious and some were even quite unique, like the sweet pea one! My favorites were the brie, carrot, and rhubarb spreads. Not really sure if I concluded on which spread paired the best with which wine, but they were nice snacks to munch on. If you're seated outdoors, you get a nice view of the vineyard as well as some mountains. There also looked to be some pedal powered trolley, which we saw a group doing but didn't do it ourselves.
