Discover The Wineries

A small, family-owned vineyard, Abbelone is nestled among old growth pines on a Southeast facing slope in the Southern Willamette Valley. Dedicated to the production of small lots of distinctive, hand crafted wine, we crop to less than 1.5 tons per acre in the vineyard, and employ traditional Burgundian methods in the winery that delivers the intense yet delicate fruit and mineral flavors of the Pinot Noir. We hope you enjoy it.

"Andis Wines is a 22,000 square foot state of the art winemaking facility designed under two tenets: 1) Design a winery that can make great wine, and 2) Make it pretty. Andy and Janis worked hand-in-hand with Sage Architecture for well over a year to come to a design that would achieve that goal."

"Halter Ranch is a vineyard and winery situated on the west-side of Paso Robles on California’s Central Coast. Founded in 2000, Halter Ranch has a rich history and a commitment to sustainable methods and environmental stewardship. The ranch today spans over 2000-acres, with 281-acres of SIP (Sustainability in Practice) Certified wine grapes, 15-acres of walnuts, and 10-acres of olives."

At Ridge, we call our approach to winemaking “pre-industrial.” We believe that for anyone attempting to make fine wine, modern additives and industrial processing limit true quality. Our philosophy comes from the techniques used in the finest 19th-century California wineries and Bordeaux chateaux.

Acquiesce has become our mantra -- to submit to nature, to yield to the vineyard, to acquiesce to the grapes so they present their own true character.

"I like to make wines that are elegant and have good balance. My style of wine has forward fruit that carries to the mid-palate and a long sustained finish. I like to use the oak to enhance the varietal identity of the wine and not mask it. Wines that are jammy and alcoholic are not my style."
