Somerset Ridge Vineyard-Winery

Cantina e Vini

Somerset Ridge Vineyard &Winery is a family owned artisanal winery dedicated to producing premium wines from locally grown grapes. Our wines reflect regional character derived from our long, sunny days during the growing season and rocky limestone hills where our vineyards are located. Our tasting room is open Wed-Sunday and is an easy 25 minute drive from the K.C. metro via Hwy 69 or 169 (see map below). See you in the vineyard!

Our hillside vineyard was planted in the Spring of 1998 and now encompasses over 8,000 grape vines. We grow twelve different varieties of grapes. The vines are pruned and the grapes are harvested entirely by hand to improve wine quality. We use sustainable farming methods in the vineyard. We use no pesticides and no synthetic fertilizers. Of our twelve different grape varieties, three are of the vitis vinifera species, one (Cynthiana-Norton) is all-American and the remainder are hybrids. Vitis vinifera are traditional European varities, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay. Hybrids are varieties that have mixed European and American parentage, combining the good winemaking qualities of the European with the hardiness of the American. We are one of the few commercial vineyards in the midwest that grows both vitis vinifera and hybrids
