More Than Wildlife-They're Family
Every place has something that makes it unforgettable.
At Ransom Ridge, it’s the peaceful still moments.
As the sun rises over the vineyard and morning mist settles across the hills, you may catch a glimpse of a familiar group of deer making their way through the property. They’ve become such a treasured part of life here that they each have a name—and a personality all their own.
Over the years, these beautiful animals, the Majestic 8, have become part of what makes Ransom Ridge feel like home.
They remind us to slow down, appreciate the beauty around us, and enjoy the simple moments that often become the most memorable.
Living Together, Naturally
At Ransom Ridge, we believe that caring for the land means caring for everything that calls it home.
Our vineyard and orchards are thoughtfully managed with sustainable practices, locally sourced materials, and a commitment to preserving the natural beauty of the Ridge. We strive to work in harmony with nature, creating a place where agriculture, wildlife, and community can thrive together.
The deer are one of the many reasons we love this land.
Meet Our Deer Family
From peaceful mornings among the vines to quiet evenings along the tree line, our deer have become part of the everyday rhythm of life at Ransom Ridge. Their presence adds a little natural magic to the Ridge, and over the years, we’ve come to know each of them by name.

A Little Bit of Ransom Ridge Magic
While we can never promise a deer sighting, many of our guests leave with stories of spotting one quietly wandering through the vineyard or grazing near the orchard.
Those unexpected moments have become part of the Ransom Ridge experience.
Whether you’re joining us for a wine tasting, enjoying a meal with family, browsing the Harvest Market, or simply taking in the scenery, we hope you’ll experience the same sense of peace these deer bring to us every day.
Because Ransom Ridge is more than a winery.
It’s a place where family, farming, wildlife, and community come together to create something truly special.
