A WINERY BORN IN THE PINES
When winemaker Chris & Melody Johnston envisioned starting a boutique winery, they were away from the hassles of everyday city life amid the tall pines and sweet smelling cedars of the popular artist community of Idyllwild, California. The friendliness of the small town inspired them to bring people together through the enjoyment of handcrafted, artisan Idyllwild wine. T

hey traveled to vineyards all over California in search of the perfect grapes for Middle Ridge Winery. Today, the wine is made in a shared facility in Temecula, yet the original Innovation Lab in Idyllwild continues to be the source of new ideas. A down-to-earth approach to wine and the people who enjoy it makes Middle Ridge wine the perfect match for every conversation. COME TASTE
You can taste Middle Ridge wines at our 4,000 square foot winery tasting room in the heart of Idyllwild, CA. Live music every weekend and special at special events that we host. You can also buy Middle Ridge wine on our website (middleridge.com) as well as sign up for our wine club. LET’S TALK

Summer tans will fade,
but jewelry will last forever!

No matter how much fun we’ve had, it’s hard to say good-bye to summer ... but a new piece of jewelry can make it easier to put the flip-flops and summer dresses away!

Afterall, as poet and philosopher Henry David Thoreau said, “One must maintain a little bit of summer, even in the middle of winter.” And what better time to get that "little bit of summer" than our end-of-summer jewelry sale.

That’s what friends are for. ❤️🍷

Some problems call for advice.
Others call for a refill.

Summer is still summering… ☀️😎

We’ve got a great lineup of live music this weekend—under the parachutes, or inside in the AC if summer decides to turn things up a little too much. 😉

Either way, there’s awesome music, good friends, great wine, and plenty of reasons to make a weekend of it.

Come sip, listen, and let summer do its thing. 🍷🎶

The math is simple. 🍷

If the glass never gets empty, you never actually had another glass.

Where do you find your wine zen? 🍷🌲

We find ours right here in our own backyard—where the pines are tall, the mountain air is fresh, and a glass of wine somehow makes everything slow down just a little.

Welcome to the Middle Ridge state of mind. 💛

Blues rock? Yep.
Dance music? Absolutely.
Jazz? Of course.

Basically, we have your weekend soundtrack covered. 🎶🍷 Add sunshine and mountain breezes and we’re not sure it gets much better than this.
