We Welcome You

 

A Portal to Another World

Our vistas span 360 degrees over gently rolling vineyards and oak-dotted hills. The land is wide open to the sky and warm breezes from the west steadily blow. During the winter months a creek quietly cuts through the back half of the ranch.

Paso Robles is a destination for lovers of wine, food, and other things of artful and geographic beauty. We are located mid-way between San Francisco and Los Angeles, just two miles east of Hwy 101, and 30 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean.

Our region is noted for its collaborative, regenerative and sustainable agriculture, and other environmental thoughtfulness. Minutes from our front gate are lovely hotels, charming wineries and delicious eateries. Make your visit to the ranch part of a larger exploration of California’s Central Coast.

Being with the herd, seeing them free and in their natural environment, swells my heart to the moon.

Ironically, the property we acquired was previously a Thoroughbred breeding farm, the very reason we began in the first place — to take in horses cast out of racing. While it has abundant natural beauty, it has required much clean up and repair. And there’s much more to go.

We are deeply honored to steward this land. With charitable and other partners, we will beautify and build out the existing facilities for people to gather, collaborate and celebrate.
