DIRECTIONS to Ridge Vineyards

Take Highway 280 to the Foothill Expressway exit. Proceed south on Foothill Boulevard (which becomes Stevens Canyon Road) approx. three miles to Monte Bello Road. Turn right on Monte Bello and continue 4.4 miles to 17100. Drive carefully! Drive past the "Ridge" sign at the lower part of the winery. Continue up the hill until the road dead-ends into the Open Space Preserve, and turn at the upper winery - look for "Green Feet" signs.
The drive takes about 50 minutes from either San Jose or Palo Alto, and 1 hour and 15 minutes from San Francisco.
Carpooling is encouraged.
