Ridgeback Winery

We truly feel that most if not all our visitors and customers really enjoy their experience while visiting our winery.  Additionally, sales of Ridgeback Wines seem to indicate that you kinda like the product that we offer.  Of course, another aspect of our business that we consider very important is welcoming the visits of all dog lovers who spend time with Rosco and Zanta–just to get their doggie fix.  Now is your opportunity to tell the whole world–well, at least the Central Florida area–just how much our winery means to you.  WESH Channel 2 in Orlando is holding an A-List Contest to find the very best of the best of business and speciality shops in its viewing area.  If you have visited us in Mt. Dora and feel the experience merits a favorable review, we kindly ask you to go to http://wesh.cityvoter.com/contests/wesh-2-cw18-a-list-2008/1662/specialty-food-and-drink/wine-shop and vote for Ridgeback Winery.  We’ll happily treat you to a free taste of our wine on your next visit!

     If you haven’t yet had a chance to travel up to Mt. Dora this month, there is still time to see one of the grandest displays of Christmas lights in the area.  Check out Donnelly Park where just about every blade of grass is adorned with a light.  Walk on down Donnelly Street and take in the atmosphere of the Holidays in small town America (Small towns are becoming quite scarce, aren’t they?).  Most merchants are offering special sale incentives along with lovely decorations.  Go all the way down Donnelly, take a left immediately past the railroad tracks, and be genuinely thrilled by the beautiful     display at the Mt. Dora Marina.  Those who feel that the real meaning behind the season is lost in Santa, snowmen, reindeer, and pink flamingos adorned with holly will find a refreshing return to what Christmas is really all about in the Marina’s display along Charles Street.  Light displays go on around 6 in the evening so to fill in the time before then, don’t forget to stop in at our winery.  Free samples flow between 11 and 5 and you can visit with Rosco and Zanta.  Check out the available wines on the Wine Rack section of the blog or call to see if your favorite is still in stock.  And remember, at the Ridgeback Winery, it’s not just about the wine, it’s about the experience! 

     Have a wonderful Christmas and we look forward to seeing you soon!
