Rideau Vineyard
Rideau was founded by New Orleans native Iris Rideau in 1997. The winery specializes in Rhone varietals well suited to the Santa Ynez Valley. Rideau also believes they go best with the Creole cuisine she grew up eating.
The tasting room is located on site at the winery. It is open seven days a week from 10:30 AM to 5 PM. It is closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas only. Their wines have received several accolades including their 2004 IC Syrah, 2003 Estate Syrah, and 2004 Chardonnay Reserve just to name a few. The winery has a wine club and also welcome private parties and events to the location.
