I had a Groupon for the wine tasting here and it was so wonderful! The wine was delicious, the employees were super friendly and informative on all the wines I tried! My friend and I then enjoyed our full glass of wine on their cute little patio area facing the grape vines! Such a cute place! Will definitely recommend to all my friends!

We had a group go off of a Groupon and also an extra member. Very great service and wine. The cheese was great as well. I was very happy that they let my child be in there since she has special needs and I take her everywhere I go. The group ended up not using there full wine glasses and we were amazed when they offered us another bottle of wine for that!!!! Definitely will come back, especially for the blueberry wine! I also appreciated the nice comments on my child from the workers. Great service and place all around!!!!

Great tasting wines! A wide variety of wines!

Laura Newland

The atmosphere was very nice. They have a large variety of wines to choose from which is nice. After tasting 7 different wines I found that I liked the Sweet Blush the best.

Simply put, the owner Mike is to the wine scene, what a new, naturally-talented, outside-the-box, creative designer is to the next generation fashion scene. Mike's creations took our wine-tasting sensations to a whole new level, with a broad selection of masterful deliciousness, all under one roof! My wife & I stumbled upon this new, unassuming vineyard as we were out for a sunny Saturday drive north from The Cities. We try to visit vineyards wherever we travel, and usually don't have high expectations for local vineyards. But we quickly found that North Ridge Winery is truly someplace special! Now, I could tell you which wines we loved, but everyone has differing tastes. (I will say that we took home 11 different blends. Oh, and my wife loved the hard cider too!) But, what was even more impressive to us was that, as Mike was serving us samples of his creations, his eyes beamed to see our reactions, and his voice was passionate, filled with down-to-earth words of the sensations that he was trying to create with each one. He listened carefully, and truly cared what we thought. Mike is not a wine snob, and his winery provides a very simple ambiance. But, in talking with him, we felt that this is not just about running a winery, or wine making, or wine serving. It's about the wonderful feeling he gets in revealing to visitors his creations that he knows will tantalize our senses in so many fun, new, and delicious ways! My wife & I will certainly go to other vineyards, but we'll be going back often to North Ridge Winery, because we won't find a more down-to-earth, passionate, creative wine maker who wants us enjoy wine as much as Mike. He makes this a very special winery.

Great Groupon deals

Rob Johnson

Friendly staff, great value, excellent blends

Darcy Metz

Very good flavorful wine. If you like sweet wines, try Mountain Red or Eidelweiss. Try Mad Jack and Cherry bomb for dessert wines with the dark chocolate. There is indoor and outdoor seating and the staff is friendly. $10 for wine tasting. They also have a Groupon sometimes. Easy to get to location.

Sorry to say that I can't go back for a while. I like too many and buy too much. Went with three of my friends and we bought 37bottles. I think we're good to go. Love the wine.

Rita Gilliam

Great wine with a large variety to choose from!

Shelby Dunski

We had a groupon for a wine tasting for 2 for $32. For that, we tasted 8 wines and had a full glass of a ninth and a free bottle of wine. An incredible value. This is a fairly new winery but the wine is good and the environment ok. The owner was very nice and helpful in explaining each wine. The Vineyard is nice. Tip: go early in the day. It's small, though they're expanding, with only a few tables. We arrived by 12:30 and were able to get a table outside. By 2, it was packed. This is a diamond in the rough and worth the visit if you like a low-key setting.

We had a Groupon. Tasted 8 wines, had a full glass and got a bottle. If you like semi- sweet or sweet wines, you will love this place! Sweet wine tastings come with a nice chocolate which is a bonus. Cute place and comfortable, cozy place to enjoy a glass of wine!

Nice variation of wines that that most people should find 1 that will satisfy their palate. Friendly atmosphere and probably the nicest groomed vineyard in the area

Julie Busse

We had a great experience. Mike is great and shares his knowledge of creating these great blends. The flavor profiles he creates are awesome. You will find an amazing variety of reds, whites, fruit wines and dessert wines. We laughed when we read a review where they bought over 30 bottles. After our tasting, I totally get it. We bought 12 bottles! Definitely will be back. Highly recommend!

Sue Kriha

Mike & Kathy are great hosts, we have been there many times. Their wines produced with grapes, fruit and unique grape blends are awesome.

Aaron Biederman

The only reason it's not 5 stars is that they need to be open more!

Kelsey Lindberg

David Tagtmeier

Great wine.great atmosphere. Staff was supper friendly. We loved the availability of being outside with a campfire.

Rick Marty

This is a great place to check out, everything we tasted was great, plus there's cold beer on tap for those that aren't wine drinkers. We've been to quite a few and this was the best yet. Can't wait to return.
