Ransom Wine Co. & Distillery Tasting Room

Lovely spot to sit outside and enjoy a liquor tasting flight with some charcuterie. I love their emerald whiskey and was very excited to taste their 22 year brandy.

They serve NA liquor flights and mocktails as well.

Everyone working there was very nice and willing to walk me through tasting notes when I asked.

We have been members of the Duck Pond Winery for many years, We have enjoyed driving three hours each time to pick up our wine selection. When we were contacted by Open Table to confirm our 2 pm reservation, we were impressed. We arrived about 15 minutes early and were directed to the room where the dining was being held. There was no reserved table. Just a large number of empty tables. What we thought was a buffet was just disappointing mess of picked over nuts and fruits. I guess in the future we will just have our wine selection shipped.

Duck Pond is one of our most favorite wineries, and we have been members since we first discovered it two years ago. The wines are some of the best we've tasted from coast to coast, very affordable, and the staff are very knowledgeable and make you feel a part of their family. Their semi annual pick up parties are always beautifully orchestrated with amazing food to pair with the drinks. Can't say enough about them!

I've been a member for many years and absolutely love the wine club pickup events. The staff are always so knowledgeable and very nice to chat with while sipping wines.

Enjoyed a wonderful tasting - my wife had the wine flight and i did a distillery flight. Came home with the Barrel Aged Old Tom Gin and a bottle of bourbon!

Great place to stop and sit outside. We did a tasting and also bought some bottles. The charcuterie board was nice. Loved the Albariño varietal, which was not in the tasting line up.

There was no food. Just a wine tasting. Silly to have it required. Second tasting here. First time was ransom spirits. This time duck pong and other wines. Both are good and fun. Wines were good, but nothing outstanding. Happy to go back again.

This is a super fun, comfortable, well appointed venue. Jackie was fun and engaging and on top of the needs of our group of 8 - even with other smaller groups of wine tasters. As a group we all agreed the spirits were solid, nothing we would consider exceptional but did take a few bottles home to add the our bars. The mocktails for our DDs were a big hit!

The server didn't describe the wines, she poured each one and walked away. I guess I expect descriptions when it comes to a flight tasting, but they may have been busy and I just didn't notice. The Chardonnay was terrible, the other wines were ok. We did not try any food.

The staff was nice. The whiskeys and bourbons tasted home made and amateur. It was difficult to find bourbon on the nose. The grappa and gin were better, but not overly noteworthy. They also have a bad fruit fly problem.

Wonderful mix of wine and distillery tasting. Grey venue and a lot of fun activities throughout the year for members.

Super knowledgeable and friendly sommelier. Great place to hang out and look over the bud break and koi filled pond. Nice selection of tasting wines and spirits....

Great experience! Loved tasting all their offerings.

Some of the best gin I have ever had, and I consider myself a gin lover. The Old Tom is well worth the drive over here. I just need to find a consistent seller here in California.

Of the ten wineries we visited in McMinnville, Ransom was the most inviting and comfortable experience we had. As soon as we walked in the door, the smells of fresh pastries put a smile on our faces. Our tasting experience was wonderful, and the staff very knowledgeable without making us feel pressured. Joanne went above and beyond to meet our needs. The wines are top notch, and we ultimately ended up buying several bottles. Definitely highly recommeneded!
