Established at the turn of the 20th century as Marchetti Ranch, a family vineyard and winery before Prohibition, Sycamore Creek Vineyards has undergone an incredible transformation over the years. The most significant change came in 2005 when Bill and Carolyn Holt of Morgan Hill took the reins. With Bill’s passion for agriculture and commitment to quality, Sycamore Creek blossomed into an award-winning winery known for its unique, hand-crafted wines.

Initially celebrated for its Zinfandel and Carignane, the winery expanded its repertoire under the Holts to include delightful Viognier, Chardonnay, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and bold Bordeaux-style blends. In 2015, the winery joined the Léal Portfolio under Frank Léal, further elevating its prestige.

Today, nestled in the scenic hills west of Morgan Hill and Gilroy, MOHI Ranch continues this rich legacy, producing some of the Central Coast's most coveted wines. Looking ahead, the ranch plans to enhance its agricultural efforts, cultivating a variety of produce alongside its renowned vineyards, enriching both the land and the community.

Set along the picturesque banks of Uvas Creek in Uvas Valley, MOHI Ranch is the perfect escape. Visitors can unwind and enjoy award-winning wines while soaking in the beautiful surroundings. The charming ranch and boutique winery is located in the historical Uvas Valley, just west of the delightful towns of Morgan Hill and Gilroy.

From the lofty heights of Montebello Mountain the grapes make the journey down to the historic ranch where they are examined, pressed and crushed in the shadow of the original Picchetti homestead house. Under the gaze of the ever watchful and vigilant peacocks, sweet juice is magically turned to wine.

Savannah Chanelle Vineyards

It all began when Pierre Pourroy went to work for a local vineyard, owned by Jean Narcisse Aubry. Pierre fell in love with one of his daughters, Marie Louise and the two were married in 1891. Pierre and his brother, Eloi worked for Aubry and eventually saved enough money to purchase and plant their own estate in 1901.

​ 

The brothers along with their wives planted the Zinfandel vines in 1910, and built our Tasting Room barn in 1912. Not deterred by Prohibition, they planted the Cabernet Franc in 1920, and the Carignan in 1924. Work was finished In 1923 on a large family home, designed after architecture in northern Paris. The Villa was to be named after the hill where the brothers grew up in Paris, but the craftsmen misspelled the name and left off the first 't', giving it the name Monmartre which can be seen today on the side of the building. In 1955 Pierre would retire from winemaking.

About Casa de Fruta

Ever since the first orchards were planted in 1908, Casa de Fruta has been growing. New orchards, new varieties, new stores, new family members, new catalogs, and of course, new web pages have all contributed to its expansion. Located at a roadside site in the fertile Pacheco Valley, nestled between Monterey and Yosemite, Casa de Fruta has welcomed visitors from around the world.

New additions are continually being introduced alongside classic favorites, inviting both new visitors and returning patrons to experience the evolving offerings.

Casa de Fruta stands as a testament to the American success story, flourishing from the roots of an immigrant Italian family. Since the initial orchards were planted in 1908, it has evolved into a diversified enterprise. In the 1940s, three teenage brothers—George, Joseph, and Eugene Zanger—opened a cherry stand on the Pacheco Pass Highway. Encouraged by their mother, Clara Bisceglia Zanger, the young entrepreneurs expanded their operation into the multifaceted business it is today. Now, the families of Joseph and Eugene continue to operate one of the country's most unique businesses, embodying the spirit of growth and innovation.

With deep agricultural roots, the family embarked on a plan to fulfill Anthony Guerra’s dream to enter the wine/vineyard industry in 2006. They then partnered with neighboring Leal Vineyards to plant twenty acres of vineyard bordered by several acres of olive groves.
