Somerset Ridge Vineyard Winery

We had checked out Somerset Ridge Vineyard Winery when we did our Louisberg Cider Mill outing earlier in the week. Little did we know we would impulsively come today with our Golden. Our Golden was in good company today. There were 5 Goldens while we were there and are least 5 more dogs of different breeds. So, if you are wondering if you can bring your dog the answer is obviously yes. Today Jason Kayne was providing enjoyable live (mostly acoustic) music. Both of us enjoyed a glass of wine while listening to his music. I did take the opportunity to do a tasting. To set your expectations, I've been to the CA wine country a couple of times and have wine regularly with friends and family. I care about what I drink, but don't break the bank in doing so. This being said, we enjoyed the Chardonel and were ok with the Ruby Red wines We've started to get into dessert wines. The Taeney port is very Whiskey forward and warms you up. The Ruby Red port is interesting and draws you back in, but the most surprising was the Citron. I went ahead and purchased a bottle as there was something special about it and if you consider you can make Lemon Drop Martinis and Margaritas with it. For an all around experience, we would be back and try to bring friends or family next time.

The positives, beautiful area, a few good wines. Our group was part of the wine trolley, there was 19 of us. The past several years we’ve done this tour , the prices have changed, the tasting has changed. This year even if you didn’t drink you still had to pay. Not sure for what… table seating they said?‍. The owner was rude, talking about our group in a not so nice way. Some of us asked about prices because every year it changes (unlike the other two wineries on the tour). We are rushed at times, we are ignored at times. Only by this winery. And we are definitely an easy group!

The staff was not at all inviting, they acted like I had some kind of disease. Not at all knowledgeable about the wine. The whole experience was awful. I will never recommend this place to anyone!

I cannot recommend Somerset enough! I hosted a bridal shower for my sister over the weekend. Cindy and the whole team made the experience incredible.

A great place to relax, listen to music and enjoy a little wine! The surroundings are beautiful and the wine is very good!
