Perched on the edge of the Russian River in beautiful Mendocino County, RIVINO is our boutique family winery. We handcraft each of our wines from select grapes grown on our family's 250-acre RIVINO Ranch. Being surrounded by grapes, and desiring to sample the fruit from our vines, we began making small amounts of wine for ourselves.
Like many things in life, that simple desire has now evolved. Realizing that we were producing far more wine than we could consume on our own, we decided it was time to take the next step. Hence the creation of RIVINO, our 100% estate family winery. When you look at a bottle of RIVINO, you will notice that each one displays how many cases we produced.

Is this our best Pinot Blanc yet? Could be. This is a tropical summer in a glass - crisp and clean, pineapple and passionfruit and Meyer lemon and pear, with river rock giving it a great minerality. We're loving this with Thai food right now, or just chilling and sipping. The 2019 RIVINO Estate Pinot Blanc is crisp and bright, perfect for summer sipping or pairing with a meal.
This is a special pair of wines. We drink sparkling every day, and we wanted to make something unique for ourselves and our favorite wine club members. It was even more popular than we could have anticipated, and we've ramped up production to try to meet demand. Still with the same exacting methods to produce an absolutely incredible bottle of bubbles, worthy of the name Boujee.

A Family owned and run boutique winery thats making a niche for itself in the Mendocino wine country. This small local vintner has been true to the craft for many years here, building a loyal clientele the whole time and they have been at it so long that the highway exit even bears their name now. I remember when it did not.
The location is amazing, the vibe very chill, outside areas to sit in the shade and sip the different varietals available whenever you should choose to visit. My most recent stop with a friend was exactly that, a loyal customer stopping by while in the immediate area to pick

A cute boutique winery with a menu that everyone can enjoy. The tiger juice name for one of the wines is odd, but I'm sure there is something behind the name at the end of the day. The sparkling blanc de blancs is superb, crisp, and refreshing. Also, the sanjo aka the Sangiovese was quite good as well and I like how the hostess pointed out the vineyard of Sangiovese, which was a nice gesture. It was really nice to get out and enjoy some music.

I had not been to a winery since Covid so was very happy to have such a great experience at Rivino. Visiting my sister in Ukiah we stopped in on a weekday morning. It was lovely under the shade of redwoods, to sit in comfortable chairs and leisurely taste some beautiful wines. The two young women serving were knowledgable and friendly. I loved the Sangiovese and the Cabernet Franc.

Rivino, few weeks ago I went to one of their Friday events and had a bottle of wine and some of the food they are now selling. Now, their wine is not the best, but I went there for the atmosphere. So, I purchased a bottle of Rosé and I bought some food and had a good time. I came home and checked they overcharged me $15. Long story short, the amount was credited back into my account after I emailed them, but didn't even get an apology.
I am posting this again. Why? The owner had the audacity to call me directly and harass me to remove the comment from Yelp.

Beautiful views! I've visited this place twice - once in the winter and the summer. In the winter, you can overlook the vineyards next to cozy heaters. The summer is the best because you can lounge outside in their picnic area and sip through 8 rounds of tasting (8 wines in the tasting for $7). The staff will come around to pour you a glass/sip as you chat.
My favorite wine was probably the Viognier. I also loved the last wine of the tasting, called Tiger Juice because they had a sick label.
It's one of the most gorg vineyard views overlooking the Sonoma area. Best part? The atmosphere

With something like 200 acres of grapes to choose from on their sprawling Schrader Ranch estate bordering the Russian River just south of Ukiah, the proprietors at Rivino can afford to be picky about what styles of wine they bottle under their own, artistically styled label.
Like many Mendocino growers, Rivino sells up to 90% of their annual grape harvest to outside wineries, allowing themselves to select prime fruit for their personal wine making, often from special blocks and parcels planted to interesting varietals, like Pinot Blanc, Sangiovese, and Viognier. These can be made into creative

Rivino is magical. I am hesitant to write this review in knowing that other people will learn about the secret beauty of Rivino. After driving for a few hours back to the Bay Area, my friend and I decided to stop by.
WINE TASTING: $7 for a tasting of 8 wines we tried that day. Both of us bought a bottle (and the tasting fee is waived). I don't think we had a bad wine, but we both loved the Sangiovese most. I read a previous post about how the pouring is not a lot, but honestly, for that many wines, I was OK with a smaller pour. PLUS, you can always revisit the ones you liked a lot!
