It’s a winery. It’s a Farm. It’s MOHI Ranch. After it evolved from Sycamore Creek Vineyards to MOHI Wine, this popular winery and event center has officially been rebranded to MOHI Ranch. Part of the Leal Hospitality portfolio, this incredible venue is home to much more than vineyard rows and wedding scenes. With a rich heritage that brings together history, vineyards, and farm-to-table practices, MOHI Ranch stands out as a unique landmark in the community.

Perched in the Uvas Valley of southwest Morgan Hill, the site was originally established as the Marchetti Ranch in the early 20th century. The property underwent a significant transformation when Frank Léal incorporated it into the Léal Hospitality portfolio as Sycamore Creek Winery. Further enhancing its charm, Léal developed a robust private event venue program, making it a sought-after location for weddings and special occasions. Now as MOHI Ranch, the venue continues to build on its legacy, offering experiences that beautifully intertwine with the local history and landscape.

Embracing a sustainable farm-to-table philosophy, MOHI Ranch has expanded its offerings to include a variety of crops and a flock of chickens, enriching both the land and local cuisine. This approach not only supports sustainable agriculture but also ensures that guests at MOHI establishments enjoy the freshest ingredients. The ranch’s efforts to supply its restaurants and future projects, such as Hotel MOHI, showcase a deep commitment to quality and community.

Wine connoisseurs and casual visitors alike will find something to love at MOHI Ranch, where the tradition of crafting unique, hand-crafted wines continues. The outdoor patio, nestled among olive trees, offers a serene setting for wine tasting, complemented by offerings of flatbreads and charcuterie. The ranch also hosts various events that celebrate its farm-to-fork ethos, providing guests with immersive experiences that connect them to the land and its bounty.
