About Ankida Ridge Vineyards

Ankida Ridge Vineyards sits on Chestnut Ridge in the Blue Ridge Mountains, founded in 2010 by Dennis and Christine Vrooman. Nathan Vrooman leads the winemaking program. The first vintage, a 2010 Pinot Noir, launched what has become a portfolio spanning reds, whites, rosé, sparkling, and blends. Ampelographer Lucie Morton consulted on the vineyard. The property hosts events several times each month and welcomes dogs. Charcuterie boards are available.
