Vista Ranch sits on 20 acres of George Fancher’s bear Creek Ranch which includes farm plots, vineyard, tasting room, outdoor picnic area, and event center.

We strive to provide you with a taste of what our beloved area has to offer. From our history, to our deep rooted agriculture that sustains our community.

Please note, reservations for Vista Nights are only available for Thursday and Friday from 6pm-9pm. We do have Live Acoustical Music during our Vista Nights! If there is not anything open during those two dates and times that means we are at capacity for Vista Nights. ***Groups larger than 12 guests MUST call our Tasting Room to make a reservation***

Tasting Room is also open daily, 9am-6pm.

Tom and Momi, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your service during my brief stay at the ranch. You guys made my trip to California so wonderful. For those who enjoy Rose or Chardonnay, highly recommend trying Vista Ranch’s bottles. I hope to visit again on my next adventure.

We enjoyed our visit. The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly. The music was not too loud and the variety of music was great. I think there should be a little table centerpiece with a soft light on each table being used. Also maybe add a chicken or sausage item to the menu. Otherwise everything was almost perfect. We will be back and will tell everyone to go.

There were quite a few very young children out there running around looking for something to play on. Also there were some ants on our table, I understand it’s outdoors.
