"Really friendly service in a super cute setting. I highly recommend enjoying your wine on their outdoor patio, surrounded by verdant grape vines.
Unfortunately, I just didn't like any of their wines. I had such high expectations because this winery focuses on Bordeaux wines. In particular, they have a BLK Cabernet Sauvignon that has won a variety of awards across multiple vintages. However, I found their wines to be underdeveloped and bitter, almost as if they weren't aged long enough in the barrel."

"We were members several years ago and have always loved Cuda Ridge wines and the genuine interactions with owners Larry and Margie. This trip and visit did not disappoint. Once again we are now members and glad to be back. Goeff attended to us and was so informative regarding all the wines! Cuda Ridge is a winery you must check out. 🍷😊"
