This Sliver of Sonoma Paradise delivers a dose of art, history, nature and fine wines in one stop

Chosen as “The Best Wine Country Picnics – Best View

Visitors are encouraged to wander down from the tasting room and then meander in no particular order among natural paths lined only in low fieldstones smothered with moss.

At the intimate Paradise Ridge tasting room in Kenwood, tasting room manager Annette McDonnell, a former chef, likes to guide visitors through a 75-minute sensory wine and food exercise with the goal of helping them relax about pairing

Paradise Ridge is a haven where locals and visitors come to savor the wonderful wines, bring their friends, and take in breathtaking views of the Russian River Valley vineyards and far beyond.  

As lizards scamper about and red tailed hawks fly above, visitors can spend as little as 10 minutes or as much time as they like.

This place has the feel of an insider’s secret…it’s well worth the effort to find.
