Sierra Ridge Winery

I have never been, but due to their unselfish acts towards those affected by the #ButteFire, I will make a point of visiting them next time I am in town …

This place is awesome! Not only do they have REALLY delicious wines, but they are so much more than that. Coordinated a wedding here this past weekend and can’t say enough about the staff. The easiest group I have ever worked with! The venue is beautiful and even though it is a bit off the beaten path, it is well worth it. Sierra Ridge is the most perfect combination of wonderful wine, a lovely setting, and a friendly and helpful staff. Thank you Sierra Ridge for a perfect wedding!

This is a wonderful spot. The staff is friendly; the wines almost always excellent. I find the variety quite remarkable (who else does Pinotage!) — try a tasting of their Italian varietals, starting with Nebbiolo and Barbera. John and Jan are terrific. Take a picnic, walk around the property. This is anti-​Napa — a place where you really are welcome.

Best winery in the world. Owners are very kind! Wines are just amazing!

My sister and brother in-​law came to visit us from Texas last weekend so Allison and I decided to take them to one of our favorite wineries in Amador County «Sierra Ridge Winery»; we go there often for the quality of the wines and of course to buy our favorite wine «Aglianico». All of their wines are really well balanced and pair wonderfully with foods, but the Aglianico is the best in the sierra foothills! They make a really good port that is not too syrupy and not over sweet. There are only two ports that I like, and John makes one of them.
We intended on just tasting a few wines but to our surprise we were being served by the owner John, he kept opening up wines for us to try. Before we knew it we were sitting out side at one of the tables with full glasses and talking about his passion for making wines.
It was such a beautiful day he offered to take us on a tour of the vineyards, as we walked the estate we discussed the grapes, soil, vines and the care taken to produce these amazing wines.
We also got to see where they host their weddings and summer concerts. Another cool thing about this winery is that they are located in the historic town of Sutter Creek that has many different lodgings to choose from. The town has so many interesting things to do; you can plan a weekend trip and never leave the Sutter Creek area.
This is one winery that should be on your sierra foothills visit list, you will enjoy all the wines and have a wonderful experience at Sierra Ridge Winery.

Nice tasting room with great tasting wines.

Off the beaten path as far as our wine country is concerned and no longer on the recommended route to the casino, neither of which facts can aid in the overall traffic flow to this place. However, for locals who don’t want to drive clear to Shenandoah Valley it serves a good purpose and the wine is mostly quite good. They do a lot of fun events with music and have a side yard for that purpose and it’s a good place to go or to hold an event.

The wines now appear under the «Sierra Ridge» label. OK, good point – you wouldn’t want to be mistaken for those single-​serving screw-​top wines.
