Vista Ranch sits on 20 acres of George Fancher’s Bear Creek Ranch, featuring farm plots, a vineyard, tasting room, outdoor picnic area, and events center. Enjoy a taste of California wines and explore the charming country store, filled with locally sourced goods and artisanal products—like freshly baked pies, jams, and honey!
The ranch offers farmer’s markets, various events, and workshops throughout the year, like Paint & Sip nights and community yoga. If you’re visiting in the fall, don’t miss the pumpkin patch with a variety of heirloom pumpkins, orange pumpkins, Indian corn, squash, gourds, wheat stalks, and more!
Plus, you can join the party for Vista Nights every Thursday from 6pm-9pm, when the picnic area transforms into an outdoor restaurant with drinks, wood fire pizzas, and other menu items made in their outdoor kitchen. Bring the whole family and enjoy the San Joaquin Valley breeze underneath the oak trees! RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED. Make a reservation on OpenTable.
