Ridge Vineyards - Monte Bello

The Chardonnay is proper. French style and not overwhelming. Well-balanced wine . Visit been bills and the blinds are impressive. Tom, the hospitality coordinator, was one of the best hosts I've had

Awesome view of the valley, great tasting experience, loved the history of the peace . Nothing better than sipping wine with zero traffic noise.

Home to the Santa Cruz Mountains ' finest Zinfandels and Cabernet Sauvginons. And the view might be the best in all of the South Bay .

Sample some of the best wines in the world (no joke! I’ve been drinking 1st-growth Bordeaux for > 50 years), enjoy the view , and say thanks to the marvelously savvy and helpful staff .

The guided tour and tasting is simply great. Excellent wines and a nice stroll in the vineyards

The drive up is very twisty, but the view from the top is worth it. If you absolutely need cellular coverage, beware as it is very spotty towards the top.

Gorgeous vineyard with great wines . A must visit for any wine lovers

Serene vineyard in the hills of Saratoga. Enjoy a glass, have a picnic and relax.

A fantastic place to take in incredible views and drink extraordinary wine ! We love it so much we wrote about it! http://blog.irrive.com/post/22127399096/ridge-vineyards-sonoma-county

Great wines and knowledgeable staff . The most amazing views of the bay can be seen from here.

Awesome wines . Tasting program at Winery is pretty good, but not awesome for the price.

It's quite a drive to get to the top (weak stomachs needs not apply), however the views are sweeping and wines are tasty. Be warned though that when they say they close at 5PM, they really do mean it.

Great view ! Great wine ! Bring a picnic lunch and enjoy????

Drive carefully. Narrow mountain road and many bicycle riders are there. In cold winter day, road may be icy. Montebello collector membership gives you a good discount on wine and tasting.

Excellent view of entire South Bay !!! Excellent Zinfandels .....

Incredible! We had the pleasure of a private tasting with Kirsten. Only way to go.

Beautiful views and excellent wine .

Bring food and have a picnic lunch outside, overlooking the gorgeous view of the hills . Oh and the wine here is great too!

Gorgeous view !

Be prepared to drive waaaaay further than you think. But worth the trip.

Have the Lytton Estate zinfandel on the tasting menu .

Scenic views . Gorgeous!

Try the 2007 Ridge CA Zinfandel Lytton Estate !

one of the OG Paris Competition winners

The best pizza for pairing!

The wines are typically not that great. In general it's an over-rated vineyard . The Montebello however is worth every penny of it's out-there price.

Try the mikulaco 2009 chard. :-)

Trying the '77 montebello now. :-)

Watch out for rattlesnakes!
