Anthony and Kathleen, along with their kids and grandchildren are enjoying this new season of life and all it brings with their recently purchased small boutique Vineyard.
A vineyard in Ranchita, California
Vineyard in Alpine, CA with eight varietals of estate grapes. We are a family owned home winery, noncommercial, with estate grapes and a facility for making fine wine. The wine that we produce is meant to be shared with our friends and family and always to be enjoyed. Our unique terroir at elevation 1850 above sea level with mainly westerly ocean breezes in late afternoons and early evenings creates an environment that allows our grapes to develop fully and give our wines the wonderful variety of tastes on the palate. Cheers.
VINEYARD & EVENT VENUE IN JAMUL
Welcome to Hillside Ranch Vineyard, only 25 min from downtown San Diego where you will find breathtaking views, warm country hospitality and an attention to detail reflected in the elegance of our event venues.
Vineyards: Two and half acres of lush grape vines, both red and white varietals, greet you just beyond the entrance and again at the edge of the venue. Our Estate wines will include Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, Syrah and Pinot Noir. Local vineyards will eventually provide additional varietals for blending.
Event Venues: Two distinct venues, one contemporary and one traditional, create the perfect setting for weddings, corporate events, parties and celebrations both large and small.

Our traditional and full-bodied red grapes include: Primitivo, Montepulciano and our Sicilian variety, Nero d’Avola. Our hearty Vermentino provides an additional white grape variety to this mix
Purchase Agreements/Contracts for our winegrapes will be made available to interested buyers in early February 2025
Keeping it simple and clean
We seek to ensure the health of our vines through a natural and minimalist approach. Our row cover helps retain moisture, serves as our erosion control, and provides a rich biodiversity to the soils. In addition, we have adopted a regenerative pruning method with the hope of producing vigorous vines and high-quality grapes
In the Spring we enjoy a superbloom of wildflowers and cherish the annual return of our local bees, birds, and barn owls.
We are a family owned vineyard & winery which was established in 2015 in Ramona, California. We are inspired to produce exceptional wine while we keep our environmental impact the least and farm in a sustainable way
When our kids completed high school and ‘left the nest’ for college, the countryside beckoned, and we moved to Ramona in October, 2019. When we saw a secluded hilltop home in Ramona, compete with a small vineyard it was love at first sight. With the previous owners of the property having moved overseas, our approx. 300 Cabernet Sauvignon vines were in need of some love, and ever since we’ve been working hard to look after and improve the health of these vines, which are around 10 years old. It’s been a steep learning curve, with knowledge gained from grape growing friends, Ramona Valley Vineyard Association (RVVA), taking a vineyard management class, books, SNS, etc., and although challenging, it has been a most enjoyable journey.
Just a little background about myself. I am Japanese, I was born in Japan, but since graduating college, I mainly lived outside of Japan due to my work. My husband is British and we have two grown-up kids. We moved to the US in 2009 due to my husband’s work. We have two dogs; Nocino (rescue Mutt) and Tartufo (Spinone Italiano). Both are doing great as vineyard guard dogs, and have contributed to the name of this magical place which is “Tartino vineyards”. Tartino being a combination of “TARTufo” and “nocINO”.
My current goal is to grow healthy, high quality grapes. Wine making may follow, likely when my husband retires, and I can imagine this peaceful and private place as a hidden spot for people to get together and enjoy the spectacular views over a glass of wine.
Welcome to Tartino Vineyards.
At Las Glorias de María Vineyards we showcase some of Spain’s great native wine varietals known around the world like Tempranillo, Garnacha, Monastrell and Cariñena. We will also introduce some rare Spanish varietals exclusively grown in our vineyards such as Verdejo, Godello, Viura, Mencia, Graciano and Pedro Ximénez. It is the belief at Las Glorias de María Vineyards, Ramona can too make world class wine with varietals which can live up to the intense Ramona summers. Our vineyards are all planted and maintained old world style, Head Trained with no trellis systems. We acknowledge there are more efficient methods of developing and maintaining vineyards but we also believe vines planted in the traditional manner contribute to the uniqueness of the wines. We have dedicated our vineyards to our heritage. Spain and Mexico were navigated by our family over centuries and ultimately ended up in San Diego, California. The name of our vineyard is in honor of our mother, aunt and sister who carried on the legacy of our family but whose lives were cut short by cancer. Future partial proceeds will be donated to the fight against cancer.
Storum Ranch Cider & Wine offers a unique taste experience. Our tasting room is open Friday-Saturday-Sunday from 11am to 5pm and serves traditional estate ciders made exclusively from our Julian orchard along with a selection of wines made from San Diego county grapes, along with a wide variety of premium olive oils and balsamic vinegars.
Bearing Fruit Vineyard is an 8.5 acre farm, with 1908 vines planted on 3 acres of that land. The vineyard produces an abundance of quality Malbec, Sangiovese and Petite Sirah wine grapes.
Our goal for the vines is an emphasis on quality, minimal intervention to allow the grapes to express the “terroir”, and a hands-on approach to farming.
The vision for Bearing Fruit Vineyard is for it to operate as a charitable, retirement endeavor. We will nurture the grapes to each harvest and arrange for their sale to select local wineries. At that point, 100% of the funds each year are directed to the Bearing Fruit Foundation and various charitable endeavors. This project supplements Frank & Karen Allen’s other annual /primary contributions to the Bearing Fruit Foundation.
Michael and Marla Fryman, a husband and wife duo, raise wine grapes in their estate vineyards in Ramona, California.
With an outstanding terroir, coupled with their winemaking skills, the couple have won multiple, internationally acclaimed, amateur winemaking awards and medals! Among those awards in the amateur winemaking category are:
- Best In Show – The Lum Eisenman Award – Ramona Valley Vineyard Association 2023 Wine Competition

The Rebel Ranch was established on Leap Day, 2008. The Rebel Ranch Vineyards were first planted in 2016. The Fryman’s have planted approximately 1.5 acres to Petite Sirah + Sangiovese vines.
Although not open to the public just yet, the Fryman’s anxiously await the day to open their boutique winery in the wine country of the Ramona Valley AVA.

Conveniently nestled a mere 100’ from Paul and Janet’s house is Paul’s pandemic project; a 96 vine garden of tranquility and distraction from the events of those times. It is indeed a hobby vineyard with Chardonnay and Petit Sarah grapes. Paul loves his title of VIGNERON and takes it very seriously as you can tell from the name he chose for the endeavor … Midlife Vineyard & Winery. Our first harvest was in October, 2023 and more than merely drinkable wine resulted. Friends and family rave about our first vintages (as they are expected to do).
Come enjoy a large variety of wines including Reds, Whites, & Roses at our open-air tasting patio, or choose a table by the lake under the cool shade trees.
