Rideau Vineyard
Rideau Vineyard Review
This winery celebrates its locale's rich history—the King of Spain himself once owned this land, and the tasting room occupies a former guest ranch inn—but fully embraces the area's wine-making present. The Rhone varietals Marsanne, Mourvèdre, Roussanne, Syrah, and Viognier are the specialty.
