The MOHI Ranch’s roots dig deep into the early 20th century as the Marchetti Ranch, blossoming under the Holts into an award-winning winery renowned for its diverse wine offerings. After Frank Léal’s acquisition in 2015, the vineyard not only maintained its oenological prestige but also expanded into a cherished setting for weddings and significant get-togethers. The launch of MOHI Wine followed, introducing a refined brand identity closely tied to the unique experiences offered at the ranch. This evolution reflects a deep respect for the land’s heritage, an innovative spirit, and a commitment to fostering precious moments.

At its core, MOHI Ranch is more than a winery; it’s a living testament to the farm-to-table philosophy that guides its operations. The ranch has taken significant strides in sustainability by cultivating its crops and nurturing a flock of chickens, whose produce finds its way into the kitchens of MOHI portfolio establishments. This meticulous attention to locally sourced ingredients highlights the Ranch’s commitment to environmental stewardship and culinary excellence, providing a tangible connection between the land and the tables of its patrons. The fusion of agricultural practice with culinary creativity sets MOHI Ranch apart as a beacon of sustainable luxury.

Moreover, the winery aspect of MOHI Ranch continues to flourish, producing signature wines that capture the essence of the surrounding land. Its wine-making tradition, characterized by an array of premium wines, underscores the Ranch’s enduring legacy and innovative future. The wine-tasting experiences, nestled in the Ranch’s serene settings, along with the incorporation of farm-to-fork ethos in events like the Farm to Fire culinary experiences, cultivate a unique atmosphere that encourages community engagement and a deeper appreciation of nature’s bounty.

The transformation of MOHI Ranch into a premier event venue has been nothing short of remarkable. With its array of visually stunning and functionally diverse spaces, it’s poised to host events that leave lasting memories. From the twinkle-light-adorned indoor spaces to the lush, vineyard-surrounded wedding ceremony site, MOHI Ranch offers unparalleled settings for gatherings of any scale. The focus on crafting meaningful connections through meticulously planned experiences stands at the heart of MOHI Ranch’s ethos, making it more than just a venue—it’s a place where moments are cherished, and community bonds are strengthened.
