We too purchased a wine tasting package on Living Social and drove about two and a half hours from home for this experience. We loved it! DEFINITELY have Shay as your tour guide! He was so informative and relaxed. He was very entertaining and we came away from the tour feeling like we had learned a LOT about wine and... More

We purchased a tour, wine tasting and wine class package on Living Social but I would have been happy to pay full price for this package. We've visited many wineries in the area and this was by far our favorite. The guide Shem is Irish and enormous fun, he is very witty and entertaining. On top of the laughs, we... More

The attraction to this winery is more than just the wine tasting. You can take a tour of the winery with prior reservations and sit down with a wine expert and take a wine class and learn about different wines, proper tasting, proper glasses to use, etc. A very enjoyable class of approximately 2 hours. This was a nice change... More

Last time I gave them a 5. This time, the experience was a 3 or 4. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt on a 4. Rideau is one of the most visited wineries in the area, with beautiful grounds and a range of well-crafted wines. December was the wrong time of year for the roses, they were out... More

The hub and I have been visiting Rideau for the past three years after being introduced to their wine by dear friends who were members. After several wonderful experiences at the tasting room and several more bottles of their wine enjoyed, we decided to join this past summer. And, it was a great decision. Every two months, we are shipped... More

We got a Travel Zoo special for a tour and tasting at Rideau Vineyard. More than just a tasting room experience, we were escorted with a group of 14 into the vineyard with a very charming guide who explained the growing process, showed us the different grapes and then took us into a parlor in the old ranch house where...

My girlfriends and I thoroughly enjoyed this trip to the ONLY African American Wine owner Iris Rideau. She actually came out and gave us the history behind her wines and how she got started. The wines were really good and so was the luncheon her staff prepared for us! A full day . . . worth it! :)

As with other travelers, visited Rideau because of a TravelZoo coupon on a Sunday afternoon. This was the third winery visited on Alamo Pintado and by far our favorite in terms of ambiance. The grounds of the winery were impeccable. Families, couples, and individuals were relaxing in lounge chairs and/or blankets around the property. Inside, there were 2 reserved wine... More

Nice facility. friendly, nice variety. Oyster crackers for in between. No pressure to join the auto ship club that they all seem to have.
