Somm Symposium Alumni
Ridge’s first Somm Symposium was in 2011. Each year, our invitees spend a full day at each of our winery locations, touring the facilities and meeting with our winemaking teams — getting a behind the scenes look at our production processes. Check out our previous Symposium Alumni and what they are saying about the program!
