Old Creek Ranch Winery: A Blend of Tradition and Nature

Located in the picturesque Ojai Valley, Old Creek Ranch Winery is Ventura County’s only rural winery, steeped in history from a 22,000-acre land grant by the Mexican government in 1837. The Holguin family revitalized the estate in July 2015, reintroducing vineyards after a 30-year hiatus. In late 2019, they expanded their vineyards by planting an additional five hectares, while also cultivating four hectares of exotic fruits, including plums, peaches, pomegranates, and persimmons.

Crafting Wines with a Natural Touch

Winemaker Jeremy Leffert, who honed his skills under the mentorship of Dr. Patterson, is dedicated to producing wines that reflect the essence of the land. His commitment to sustainable practices ensures that all wines at Old Creek Ranch are crafted without additives or chemical preservatives, resulting in a pure and authentic taste.

Stunning Views and a Welcoming Atmosphere

In late 2018 and early 2019, the winery expanded its offerings by planting eight hectares with varietals such as Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Albarino, and Viognier, followed by Syrah, Grenache, Tempranillo, and Sangiovese. The first grape harvest is anticipated in 2022, with plans for an additional two hectares of Grenache to be planted soon.

Old Creek Ranch Winery produces natural red, white, rosé, and sparkling wines from the finest grapes.

Visitors can enjoy a beautiful outdoor seating area that offers breathtaking views of the vineyards and surrounding landscape, making it a perfect spot to relax and appreciate the beauty of California wine country.

Very nice and friendly atmosphere. I didn’t like the view we had but there was no other choice. The wine tasted just fine. Will come back with reservations for a better spot.

Old Creek Ranch Winery offers a stunning setting, with beautiful grounds and peaceful surrounding, especially on a quiet Monday. It’s a relaxing spot to take in the views of the vineyard while sipping a glass. We were a bit disappointed to learn that the wine we tried wasn’t from the vineyard itself. Apparently, they had a fungus issue a while back, and it will be several years before they can use their own grapes again. But honestly, the views and the ambiance make up for it, and we’d definitely come back for the experience.

This is a charming place nestled in a vineyard in Casitas Springs. Great tasting wine, but the beautiful facility is what made you feel you were in Paso or Napa.

We loved it! This was my first time here and it's definitely definitely a different experience. We were met at the entrance by the very enthusiastic and fun Carl, who escorted us to our private seating area. BTW, we had not made reservations...but we were promptly taken care of by Peyton, who was adorable. We did a tasting for two (very small pours) and then decided to split a bottle of the Fire Station Red, which we loved. It was a breezy spot, even on a hot day and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. I'll definitely be back!!
