About Pine Ridge Vineyards
Pine Ridge Vineyards sits directly on the Silverado Trail in the Stags Leap District, with hillside vineyards, landscaped gardens and an extensive cave system. The winery draws from approximately 160 acres across several Napa Valley appellations, giving its tasting program a wider geographic range than the single-district address suggests. Cabernet Sauvignon is central, but visitors can compare how different sites contribute to the portfolio.
Flights may include Cabernet Sauvignon, Bordeaux-style blends and other estate wines from multiple Napa appellations. The Exploration Vineyard near the visitor area contains the grape varieties planted across the estate and gives hosts a practical teaching tool. Cave tastings add context about barrel aging, while more extensive tours begin in the vineyard and connect growing conditions to the cellar.
Current options include a 60-minute Estate Tasting, a 90-minute Cave Tasting and a two-hour vineyard-to-cave tour. Reservations are required for cave and immersive experiences. The tasting room is open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with holiday closures. Private groups and events can use gardens, caves and dining spaces through separate arrangements.
The property combines easy Silverado Trail access with a strong cave and vineyard identity. Leashed dogs are welcome in designated outdoor garden or terrace areas, but they cannot enter the caves or premium indoor experiences. Visitors traveling with a dog should reserve an outdoor-compatible format and consider weather. Comfortable shoes are useful for tours involving the vineyard and underground spaces.
Pine Ridge is a strong choice for cave enthusiasts, Cabernet drinkers and travelers who want several levels of depth at one winery. The estate tasting works for a shorter visit, while the two-hour tour should be treated as a primary appointment. Confirm the exact route, dog access, food, group limit and current price before booking. The official display name is Pine Ridge Vineyards, although the existing Wino page uses Pine Ridge Winery.
The winery is known for Stags Leap District Cabernet, but its most widely drunk wine is a white: the Chenin Blanc plus Viognier blend founder Gary Andrus introduced in 1995 as an experimental tasting-room bottling, when Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc dominated California whites and Chenin was largely overlooked. The 2025 release marks thirty consecutive vintages. The Chenin is sourced from Clarksburg in the Delta and the Viognier from Lodi, and the wine has stayed deliberately affordable at about $16 at the winery, with alcohol near 11.5 percent. The 2024 vintage placed 27th in Wine Spectator's Top 100 of 2025. Pine Ridge is certified Napa Green, belongs to International Wineries for Climate Action, and was nominated in 2026 for Wine Enthusiast's American Winery of the Year; head estate winemaker Josh Widaman now leads the white program alongside the Cabernet.
