Colibri Ridge Winery and Vineyard

Open: Year-round

Colibri Ridge Winery and Vineyard is a small family owned winery located on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada Foothills in the southern part of El Dorado County .is owned by John Alexander. The wine at Colibri Ridge Winery & Vineyard is produced by John Alexander.  The winery & vineyard are located high on a ridge top within the "Fair Play" American Viticultural Area (AVA). The free-draining decomposed granite soils and the gentle afternoon breezes, combined with the abundance of warmth from the summer sun during the day and cool nights, produce the quality fruit that makes our delicately-balanced and full-bodied wines.

Tasting is conducted within our working winery and is nestled amongst the fine French and American oak wine barrels used to store and age our wines. During the harvest season (commonalty known as the crush), which begins in early September and extends through October, you may be able to see the winemaker at work creating the wines of the future.

Our secluded picnic areas are nestled amongst the mature oak trees and large granite rock outcroppings, providing both the spectacular views of our vineyard and the surrounding areas, and a sense of romantic privacy.
