Grown-up wine! So often, small wineries rely on sweet wines. Harvest Ridge has some sophisticated wines as well as unique and sweet offerings. I love their ciders, too. The on-site food truck is one of the best I've ever enjoyed food from. Events are ongoing and high quality from live entertainers to "Funky Music Bingo" and "Let's Do Trivia!". This is a very busy winery with lots going on and well worth regular visits. read more

Harvest Ridge Winery - Funky Music Bingo night. - Wineries Near Me - Marydel, Delaware

The atmosphere is nice the people work there are very nice just a place to go with your friends and be able to sit and talk and have a glass of wine. I enjoyed getting out Sunday. They had vendors there and the food was good. Definitely will be back. read more

If I could give it a zero I would. After being wine club members for over a decade the customer service, lack of organization, and overall disrespect shown by staff at tonight's bingo event is astounding. New ownership is not for the good. It's a shame to see how quickly things have gone downhill. We had such great experiences when Chuck ran the business. It's a shame - they just lost a loyal customer! read more

I have been here for bingo, trivia, food truck and Sunday brunch. All amazing experiences. Huge selection of wine. The cider is my favorite. The food truck is a great addition providing other options if you don't or forget to bring your own food. Ambiance is amazing too. If it's too loud inside you can relax outside with a beautiful view. The ladies are always willing to help answer any questions and the service is top notch! One of my favorite places to visit. read more

What a lovely place! Wine is fantastic!! I only tried the whites but I loved all of them. Can't wait to take friends there! I enjoyed a Birthday party what a great event for it and a food truck! read more

From the finger lakes region of NY. I was happy with the quality of wine. I prefer dry and they had a decent selection, as well as sweeter. Hidden gem is the FOOD TRUCK! Nice afternoon getaway. read more

We went for a Sea Glass Class and Wine Tasting. Excellent event! Great Atmosphere! Large selection for all tastes. Gift baskets available as well. read more

Unfortunately the food was sub par. It tasted like warmed up frozen food. The food literally tasted like freezer burn. I wanted to love it as this place is so close, but couldn't. That's saying something considering this is outA in the wildness. Mediocre would have been considered excellent!! The music was great! The wine selections were also. Now they just need to find a new food truck and we will be back! read more

I signed up for the Wine Tasting with my family. I can honestly say Ms Katrina was knowledgeable. She was funny and knew her stuff. We tried the cider flight as well as a wine flight. We don't have pictures because we drank it prior to thinking about posting lol. However completely recommend can't wait to come back! read more

Went to the smaller location on our anniversary. We loved the cider so when we found the vineyard on the way to vacation we had to stop! We've been here twice in one week actually. It's really pretty here and the staff are very friendly. The wines are really good! You can have a wedding here too! read more

Very pleasant drive to this winery location. I like the large facility with room inside and outside to enjoy. Some yard games were set up outside and we enjoyed watching others play. The wine tasting was nice and they had some delicious cheese for sale. Unfortunately the food truck was closed the day we were there so we would like to go back when that is open. I enjoyed the ciders more than the wine. The anise cider was surprisingly my favorite! read more

Tonight was funky bingo night as well as Pick up your wine from the wine club. Again lack of staff not sure if there is a reason why there's not enough people to work the registers, But extremely frustrating for the people that purchased tickets ahead of time that had to wait over 20 minutes. read more

I contacted this venue over a month ago, and Christina said that Stephanie was incharge of the events and that she was going to give her my email to get in touch with me and talk about details , that it probably was going to take her a while since she was recently getting back from vacation and needed to review her emails.... Two Weeks Later: Nothing.. so i emailed Christina again and once again said she was going let Stephanie know to get in touch with me. ANOTHER Three Weeks Later: NOTHING.. so i emailed Christina one last time to tell her that if they werent available for my event to please let me know so that i could search for other venues.. TWO MORE WEEKS LATER: and Christina never replied to my last email. This venue was recommended to me by various people. Horribly disappointed. Because i am active duty military stationed in Hawaii i wasnt able to just go in person and look at the venue myself. But its okay, i found a better location! read more

We came with hopes of a great experience, but we were far from impressed. When entering and heading to the bar for a tasting we got from a server "what do you want?" This was a common greeting apparently as the next couples that followed were greeted the same way. Apparently they cannot say "hello" or "welcome to our establishment... care for a glass of wine or a tasting?" There were initially a couple workers but they tend to disappear for a long time between trying to sample the wine. Multiple staff there but had no intention of being helpful to any clientele. Sad to say we will never be back as we could only make it through 2 of the wines in the tasting due to the staff inability to provide good service. read more

Mediocre wine and mediocre service. Stopped by on a Friday and we sort of crashed a wedding rehearsal, so there was a lot going on. However, the woman doing the tasting could have done a much better job of making us feel welcome. I think she spent way more time chatting with co-workers than giving us information on what we were drinking and how they process their wine. For $7 you get to try a pre-selected list of eight or so wines. I don't care for this because I always end up sampling stuff I wouldn't try/know I don't like. Which was the case with the Pumpkin wine (who does that), Sparkling Vidal Blanc and Mead. My partner enjoyed his samples because they skewed towards the sweet and I prefer dry. The Cab Fran and Chambourcin weren't too memorable, maybe too much of a black pepper taste. Depending on the day, they'll have some sort of $2 off special, like Ladies Night or Military Monday. They were serving pitchers of cider for $6 when we were there, so that was a decent deal. If you want to hangout with your buddies and prefer sweet wines, you might enjoy Harvest Ridge. read more

Awesome Place, we had an amazing time yesterday! The Funky Music Bingo was great! The Pull Pork Nachos were great, their Blue Hen Blue wine (sweet) is delicious! read more

I'll start off by saying that we visit this winery frequently as wine club members and we have always had a pleasant experience. Unfortunately, that was not the case during our recent visit, thanks to the rude girl that assisted me when I purchased some bottles. After waiting in line for quite a while, I asked for a tasting to try a wine I hadn't seen before. The girl rudely told me I could only buy bottles or glasses. This would have been fine, but I had just watched a lady have several tastings while I was in line. I didn't say anything and went ahead with my purchase. Then when I went to sign, she started doing other things and didn't even acknowledge me any further. Whoever she was, she should not be assisting customers. read more

I saw this winery listed in the Smyrna Post several times so I decided to visit with my mother-in-law on a rare weekend off. We were kindly greeted upon entering but were surprised to find out that no one knew about the tasting/tour advertisement in the post. We had to wait until the staff "saw the manager" to ask if they could honor. Long story short, after waiting 15-20 minutes, they would not honor and said they had no idea how, why or who put that in the paper. Wow! Ok, well that is a good way to draw business into your establishment! read more

Very cute. It wasnt crowded when we went on a Monday. We actually didnt like any of their wines. We did the full wine tasting plus 2 additional samples. But the staff was very kind and answered all our questions. Their prices are also very affordable. read more

"What do you want?" uttered the worn down girl behind the empty bar. She would repeat the same phrase to two more groups within the next 10 minutes. A scripted wine tasting is a difficult task. "I'll pour one, then someone else can take over" she thought as she poured the first wine then disappeared. Another miserable girl slowly walked to the empty glasses. "Oh, are you on the second one?" she asked the original group. After a pour, her bones were also too exhausted to even describe the wine. "Someone else can finish this tasting" she thought as she walked away. Three more nearly frowning girls appeared, standing with their backs to empty wine glasses and expecting patrons, before we had finally had enough. We were so disappointed in the service we left the tasting early. The events they post look so exciting, we were hoping for a better first impression. Sadly, we won't be returning. read more

Such a grand time and delightful experience! April Tiger made our visit an enjoyable laughter filled afternoon. The selection of wines and the quality of the offering were superb read more

Harvest Ridge Winery - First visit for a tasting!! Delightful!! - Wineries Near Me - Marydel, Delaware

Off the beaten path but surely worth a visit. Hey, it's in Delaware, where everything is reachable. Had an enjoyable midweek visit with a very friendly host for the tasting, enjoyed many of the wines, and loved the grounds and facility. A hidden gem. read more

Harvest Ridge Winery - the front of the winery - Wineries Near Me - Marydel, Delaware

A friend who is a local took us to Harvest Ridge for tasting on Saturday. The building is divided into two primary areas, a tasting room/winery in the front and an event space room towards the rear. Parking is easy with a large lot. On the weekend, there is usually a food truck set up in the parking lot. As far as I know it is not directly affiliated with the winery itself. Wine tasting is around 7 selections and is priced cheaply at $7, you also get to keep the glassware. Cider tasting is a smaller amount of choices but less money. There was an option to add glassware to the purchase for the cider tasting. DE state law says you cannot sit at the bar area for tasting in a winery (? not sure the specifics of this), so it's kind of a pain to be standing for 30+ trying wines. Staff was knowledgeable about the offerings and gave us information on each selection. Wine choices were very good and it should be noted they currently are offering a classic Rose which won an international bronze award. read more

Horrible Experience! We recently moved to this area and had family travel from far away and we met at the winery. The staff were unprofessional and did not honor the statements they made to our family member about their policies. We were treated rudely and they completed ignored the fact that they made statements in writing which contradicted what we were told in person. When we attempted to show them what they said in writing they said they don't care to see it and it is not correct. Management 101 is needed for this crew. We will not go back! read more

We absolutely love coming here! Stumbled upon Harvest Ridge one day while we were looking for something to do, $5 for 8 samples of great wine (they seem to change the wine samples with the seasons which is awesome). They provide popcorn and goldfish during the tasting, and you can bring your own food if you are hungry. We love the events that they host here and the staff is always so friendly. read more

Great wine and great atmosphere! Such a fun place. Beautiful wedding venue too! Try the Red No. 47...you won't regret it!

Friendly staff, comfortable surroundings, and an interesting assortment of red and white wines. I especially enjoyed the Traminette. We plan on many return trips. read more

Harvest Ridge Winery - The good stuff. - Wineries Near Me - Marydel, Delaware

I've been to this place several times. They have a very good selection of wines that are reasonably priced. Their new ciders, which I tried for the first time today, were also pretty good. I like the venue as well. Very cute. It's kind of cool that they have this food truck competition every April. The entrance fee goes to the Disabled American Veterans, and you get a souvenir wine glass and a tasting. Since this business is fairly new, once in a while there are glitches and such which can be annoying and cause some inconveniences, but the overall experiences I've had were good ones. read more

Love love love their ciders! Their sangrías are good as well. Food truck outside was good too. Missed the music band that was there, but everyone else seem to be having a good time. Will definitely come back. read more

We have had a mixed bag of experiences here. The wines are, in fact, fantastic. Events are often quite pricey. We have often had trouble getting served at the bar. Bar tenders too busy talking to each other or "local regulars". The food truck nights have been awful. One truck, limited cuisine, long lines, and expensive. It is a beautiful winery and grounds with awesome sunsets off the back porch! The wines keep us coming back. read more

Harvest Ridge Winery - Sipping some wine with hubby enjoying the view. - Wineries Near Me - Marydel, Delaware

$7 Wine tasting without the mediocre or nozzle stopper pour. Great Value. A plethora of wine to match any palette.

DO NOT JOIN THE WINE CLUB. This establishment is full of some of the most unprofessional people I have ever dealt with. It takes you multiple phone calls, multiple emails, and two personal visits to get it cancelled. The wine is mediocre, the physical building is nice, but the staff leaves a lot to be desired. Also, if you go to an event there, the staff is often too busy chatting with one another to wait on customers... So you will most likely leave thirsty... read more

Had a great time here! The host that served the wine was friendly and knowledgeable. And you can bring your own food! Was really great experience- will definitely be returning- one thing- bring some cash- you can't tip on your credit card read more

Visited the winery the week after Christmas, and were not the only ones with this idea. Even though it was very busy we got great personal attention, loads of information about the wines and a terrific tour by Kelly. Highly recommend if you're in the area - will exceed your expectations read more

Cute little place to stop into for a wine tasting & try wine from delicious Delaware grapes. You can taste about 8 wines for $5 - red & white and then get a bottle to share, hang out - play games or listen to live music. read more

Harvest Ridge is a beautiful winery. The staff is super helpful and friendly, and the wines are amazing!

The wine and hard cider from this place is just plain lousy!! I occasionally go to the tasting room and continually see new faces, when I ask where is *****? She no longer works here. The turnover is very high! This place does not know what they're doing. read more

nice wine nice atmosphere friendly people only one problem would like to hang outside but way too many flys we were bombarded so we went inside lots of room but hang up some fly traps or bug zappers so outside can be enjoyed read more
