Ankida Ridge Vineyards

Ankida Ridge Vineyards is a small, family-run winery perched high in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains. The mountaintop setting creates a distinctive cool-climate site that shapes the style of its wines and offers sweeping views for visitors. The atmosphere is intimate and relaxed, with an emphasis on thoughtful farming and careful, small-lot production. The winery is best known for elegant Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that highlight finesse, freshness, and a sense of place. Guests typically enjoy curated tastings or glasses on outdoor patios or decks when weather allows. Production is limited, so seasonal releases can be special occasions and certain bottles may sell out quickly. Because of the boutique scale and mountain location, planning ahead is wise. Hours can vary by season, and reservations are often recommended for tastings, especially on weekends or during peak foliage. Mountain weather can shift quickly, so bringing layers is a good idea. Wine club members often receive early access to new releases and invitations to special events. Check the winery’s website for current hours, event listings, and any weather-related updates before you go.
