Ankida Ridge Vineyards

This is a wonderful place and a slice of heaven. A wonderful adventure and worth the drive up the back roads. Great wine and a beautiful view. Courtney was so sweet and it was great to meet her. We are visiting from Ohio and the experience was a highlight of our trip.

Great views, great wines, great people, great Pyrenees dogs.

Melinda made the experience exceptional!!

We had heard good things about Anika Ridge (especially the pinot!) and it didn't disappoint. The tasting room is beautiful, wines are delicious, and the service was excellent.

A bit remote location, but the wines are good.

Pure Magic! You must make an intentional drive to get here but it is so worth it! The views are fabulous, the wines are award winning and stunning.
You can tell that everyone who works there cares about every detail - they answer all your questions and make sure all your needs are met - the charcuterie board goes perfectly with all the wines - my favorite is the sparkling Blanc de Noirs, tastes as good as any true Champagne!
If you have 4 wheel drive, be sure to get up to the Overlook to check out the views over the vineyards where the Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Gamay are grown.

I’ve been to Ankida Ridge multiple times and every time I go I’m charmed by the atmosphere, impressed by the customer service, and fall in love with the delicious wine. It’s a place where I can confidently take family and friends, and be sure they’ll have a wonderful experience.

Bravo!

This place is beautiful, the vibes are immaculate and the wine is outstanding. So glad there's such a beautiful place to relax and enjoy a bottle of wine close to home.

I visited last October, the views are amazing and wine is great. The drive up is a lot of fun. It feels like you're going on an adventure ?

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Ankida Ridge Winery, and it was truly a delightful experience! The setting is absolutely stunning, surrounded by picturesque landscapes that enhance the tasting experience. The staff were exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable, making us feel right at home as they guided us through their impressive selection of wines. Each sip was a journey, showcasing the incredible quality and craftsmanship behind every bottle. I can't recommend Ankida Ridge enough for anyone looking to enjoy great wine in a beautiful atmosphere. Can't wait to return!

Great location, reasonable wine, strong feminist vibe.

The intimate setting with incredible views of the Blueridge Mountains. The incredible, friendly staff that takes care of you and makes you feel at home. The wines are wonderful, good selection, and they make a delicious charcuterie board! Take your 4 wheel drive and head up to the ridge, where additional views are incredible. Ankida is our go-to winery!!!

Very disappointed with the setting. The wine may be good, I wouldn't know as there was no parking available so we didn't get to actually go in!! The drive to the winery is on a literal one lane road that is actually dangerous. The driveway itself and the (lack of) parking situation was atrocious! This review is, again, based on the drive back and the parking, not the wine itself.

My response: I clearly stated that I was reviewing the drive up to the winery, not the wine. I am not trying to be a rude here, I will even update to 2 stars if that makes you feel better, however, I am just forewarning people that the drive up to the winery is awful. I realize that you cannot control the condition of the road to the winery, however you could maintain the driveway itself and the parking situation is horrendous. I really don't know why it would matter what day I was there, but if you must know, it was Sunday. My complaint is, there was parking on flatter area, toward your building, that was marked as no parking, now, if you had this area open, instead of just having people parked on either side of the driveway, maybe my mother in law, who walks with a cane, could have come in. Not everyone is able bodied enough to walk up your hill to get to the winery. That being said, I feel that my lower starred review is warranted since I was not able to come in and taste your wines based on not being able to park comfortably and walk to your establishment. Thank you and have a good day!

My wife and I got engaged here. It will be a special place for us forever. It’s beautiful, peaceful, and has fantastic wines at very reasonable prices. I can skip the bigger wineries every time for an experience like this. We’ll be back for many years to come!

Wonderful wine and an amazing view
