Riddoch was born at Turriff, in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, and arrived in Victoria with his parents and family in 1851, settling in Newtown, Geelong. He left for the Ovens River goldfields and was quite successful. He returned to Geelong and set himself up as a storekeeper and wine merchant. In 1861 he purchased Yallum Park Estate, a sheep and cattle station near Penola.〔Leith G. MacGillivray, ('Riddoch, John (1827–1901)' ), ''Australian Dictionary of Biography'', National Centre of Biography, Australian National University, published in hardcopy 1988, accessed online 25 October 2014〕 He founded the Coonawarra fruit colony there, and built a grand residence; he was noted for his hospitality.
