Ohio Wine of the Month Club

Kinkead Ridge Estate Winery produces ultra-premium, award winning, internationally recognized estate-bottled wine in southern Ohio, from "vinifera" grapes (the classic European varieties). These varieties yield the most complex and aromatic wines. Our farm has the advantage of ancient soils underlain by hundreds of feet of broken limestone on ridge tops overlooking the Ohio River. We have excellent exposure and air drainage due to our 450 foot elevation above and two mile proximity to the Ohio River. This is critical to successful viticulture in our modified continental climate.

The vineyard is located at our 126 acre farmhome on Kinkead Road, approximately four miles from the winery. The vineyard was planted in 1999. Five acres are currently in production, and two more are planned. Our Kinkead Ridge estate wines are made exclusively from grapes grown at Kinkead Vineyard.

Two Kinkead Ridge wines have been listed in the Top 100 Exciting Wines of the World, by Tom Stephenson, British editor of the New Sothebys Encyclopedia, in his Wine Report paperback, released annually.
