Art and sculptures are on exhibit at Paradise Ridge and free to the public to enjoy. This winery had major losses in the 2017 wildfires of Sonoma County. Many of these art installations are from burning Man, the curators and the winery owners heavily support the artist community! The facility is open currently by appointment only and open to their club members. But the art is free-for-all as long as it’s during their normal open hours, just shoot them a message and see about visiting the sculpture gardens

We loved the Wednesday Sunset party at Paradise Ridge. They were very well organized. Great band. Dancing. Perfect sunset views. Highly recommended but make reservations ahead for this event.

Wanted to try a place in Santa Rosa I had never heard of before and it seemed Paradise Ridge was not only close but picturesque and had great wines! I enjoyed their Sauvignon Blanc (fresh, fruity, crisp) and Zinfandel (earthy red), the most. The grounds were beautiful and had funky statues everywhere. I was obsessed with their fireplaces especially the burning L-O-V-E. OH, I GET IT! It was a gray day and the vines were starting to turn their fall colors, but still a lovely view!

Off the beaten path and through a residential neighborhood, you will find this spectacular winery in the hills overlooking the Russian River Valley. It's a huge property with many things to do. I saw a deer running around when I entered the property. They have a huge collection of sculptures from the famous Burning Man. They have an art garden, where you meander through the oak trees and find various different art pieces from different artists, all very interesting. They have a huge which winetasting facility which sits on the side of a hill with spectacular views of their vineyards and the Russian River Valley. You can sit inside, outside, above, below, under an oak tree, or on the patio. They have many wines to taste. And during the summer they have a party for 250 people every Wednesday night. Open to the public. There is so much to do and so many great wines to taste, that you don't want to miss this winery.

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 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. 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.

Nevermind the fact that this was my wedding venue, I can't say enough nice things about this place! For starters, it is gorgeous and I'm low key a lil obsessed. The wine and food alone are enough of a draw to come here. You stack on amazing views that will give you those IG-worthy shots and some of the friendliest staff I have ever met (Jessie is THE best!) and this is hands down a must stop for me whenever I'm in the area. Additional highlights: * sculpture garden - the giant LOVE sign is a great photo op * live music and food trucks every Wed from May - Oct * if you rent this as an event venue it comes with an outdoor pizza oven (contact them directly to book) Notes: - No, they didn't pay me or bribe me with wine to write this lol - Wear comfortable shoes, not all areas are paved depending on where you park and where you drink - ADA friendly! Ramps outdoors and an elevator indoors will let you move easily between both levels of the building
