More about Ridge Vineyards

It was a doctor called Osea Perrone who first planted a vineyard at Monte Bello, near the top of a ridge in the Santa Cruz Mountains. He purchased 180 acres here in 1885, building terraces and planting vines on the steep slopes, and constructing the original winery (that is still in use today), dug out of the mountainside and reaching down three floors. The first wine made under the Monte Bello name was produced in 1892.
