Pride Mountain Vineyards

Pride Mountain Vineyards was founded in 1990 by Jim and Carolyn Pride and since 2004 has been owned by their children Suzanne and Steve. From 2004, the winery has been run and managed by Steve Pride, CEO and director of winegrowing, who also directs the farming and co-directs winemaking with winemaker Matt Ward. Matt joined Pride Mountain Vineyards in 2022 and is passionate about each winemaking detail, striving to make each of Pride’s 13 wines as distinctive and unique as possible he collaborates closely with Steve in rethinking how each wine is made with the goal of maintaining the boldly-flavored wine personality that is a signature of the high-elevation property while producing wines capable of aging elegantly and beneficially for decades. Pride Mountain Vineyards owns 235 acres across the crest of the Mayacamas Mountains at 2000 feet elevation. Of those, 85 acres are planted to vineyards, the majority of which have desirable south-facing exposures. Pride wines have been served 33 times at the White House across five administrations. Robert Parker included Pride Mountain Vineyards as one of 22 California wineries in his book “The World’s Greatest Wine Estates”. Pride is equally passionate about the guest experience at the winery. In 2013, Trip Advisor used guest reviews to name Pride Mountain Vineyards the best winery to visit in the United States. Since 2013, Pride has continued to restructure the guest experience to make each visit as friendly, fun, informative and personable as possible. The Pride mission statement defines what the winery is all about: “Through our inner compassion and outer behavior, we strive to enhance the well-being and happiness of everybody we have the opportunity to interact with: guests, customers, vendors, restaurants, distributors, each other and the greater community in which we live."
