Founded in 1997 by Iris Rideau, a native from New Orleans, Rideau Vineyard is an award-winning wine estate dedicated entirely to Rhône grape varietals.

Located on Alamo Pintado Road, the winery is surrounded by majestic oak trees, manicured gardens and lush landscapes, all of which contribute to the old world French Victorian feel of the estate.

Visitors to the wine estate can enjoy tastings of the wines produced on the farm, as well as highly popular Creole-inspired dinners hosted by Iris, with each dish paired with a Rhône varietal from the estate.

Growing in prestige and acclaim over the past fifteen years, Rideau Vineyard remains dedicated to a small production and no distribution.
