Love Ranch & Love Collection Vineyards
Love Ranch is farmed by Oscar Ramos.
Our Love wines are thoughtfully curated blends made from some of California’s best unsung varieties. True to the name, we do love sourcing organically grown grapes from these small family vineyards for our Love Red, White, Rosé and Sparkling bottles and cans each year. With wine always being a thoughtful expense, each year we craft our Love wines with the intention of making delicious and affordable wines to enjoy any day and occasion.

Hartwick Vineyard
Our 2022 harvest was the first time we harvested fruit from Hartwick, bringing in their Orange Muscat. The vineyard resides in the Mokelumne River AVA in San Joaquin County where the Mediterranean climate brings hotter days and cooler nights. The vineyard’s distinctive sandy loam provides good drainage and forces the roots to dig a little deeper. The vine’s extra work results in richer fruit flavors at harvest. We’re excited to continue working with the Orange Muscat and see where future vintages take us.

Windmill Vineyards
Windmill Vineyards are 146 acres of not only vineyards but also fruit trees such as olives and figs. Organically farmed, it has pink hued alluvial soils along the rolling hills within Yolo County’s Dunnigan Hills AVA. The warmer climate helps the fruit ripen fast, which is one reason we pick early to help perverse the acidity we love. Sergio Villanueva farms the vineyard for the owner Jeff Morgan.
