Paradise Ridge Winery

Paradise Ridge Winery is one of Santa Rosa's most complete and artistically satisfying small estate experiences. Walter and Marijke Byck established the 55-acre Thomas Lake Harris Drive property in 1994 and have built a destination that combines genuinely excellent Russian River Valley wine with a permanent sculpture garden featuring rotating exhibitions from Bay Area and international artists.

The combination of panoramic Santa Rosa and Russian River Valley views, estate sculpture garden, and wine program creates a genuinely integrated experience: the art is as thoughtfully chosen and presented as the wines, and the landscape setting provides the context for both. The estate has become a beloved local destination for art openings, private events, and the kind of contemplative afternoon that combines aesthetic pleasure with the genuine enjoyment of well-made wine.

The wine program produces estate Sparkling wine, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir from the 55-acre RRV benchland property — sustainably farmed with the same care that distinguishes the estate's commitment to art and hospitality. Daily walk-in format with picnic grounds makes Paradise Ridge one of Santa Rosa's most accessible and rewarding wine-plus-culture destinations.
