Paradise Ridge Winery

Perched above Santa Rosa with sweeping views of the Russian River Valley, Paradise Ridge Winery is a family-owned Sonoma County destination where award-winning wines, contemporary art, and scenic wine country hospitality come together. Founded by Walter and Marijke Byck and still operated by the Byck family, the winery is known for handcrafted, vineyard-designated wines sourced from premier Sonoma regions, including Russian River Valley and Rockpile AVAs, with standout Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Zinfandel, and Cabernet offerings. After rebuilding following the 2017 Tubbs Fire, Paradise Ridge emerged as one of Sonoma’s most memorable winery experiences, blending resilience, community, and creativity into every visit.

Guests can enjoy curated wine tastings on panoramic terraces overlooking vineyards and rolling hills, with options ranging from estate-focused flights to bold red wine tastings. Seasonal culinary pairings, artisan cheese and charcuterie selections, and a welcoming hospitality team add to the experience. Beyond wine, Paradise Ridge stands apart for Marijke’s Grove, a celebrated outdoor sculpture garden featuring rotating contemporary art installations set among oak-studded paths and open meadows.

Popular for romantic outings, sunset tastings, weddings, private events, and relaxed Sonoma wine tours, Paradise Ridge Winery offers more than a tasting room, it delivers a distinctive Sonoma experience where wine, art, and landscape meet. Conveniently located in Santa Rosa, it is a favorite stop for visitors exploring Sonoma wine country and seeking scenic views, family-owned wineries, and immersive wine tasting experiences.
