Pride Mountain Vineyards is located on the crest of the Mayacamas Mountain Range at an elevation of 2,100 feet. Pride Mountain is recognized for its big red wines and produces a large spectrum of wines ranging from Cabernet Sauvignon to Sangiovese.

A days adventure to Pride Mountain Vineyards starts on a little country road that winds up out of St. Helena all the way to the top of the ridge. From the parking lot at the vineyards, you get a sense that you are on top of the world. To the north the majestic Mount St. Helena rises up to 4,341 feet and to the south Hood Mountain tops the Mayacamas mountains. Far away to the west are the busy streets of Santa Rosa.

For our video, we lifted off with the drone another 400 feet above Pride vineyards and flew across the hillside. The footage from the drone is extraordinary and provides an immediate education about the topography of the Napa / Sonoma area.
