Hofer Ranch was planted in the pre-Prohibition days when Cucamonga Valley was a bastion of grape farming. “It took a lot of acres to raise a family” says current steward Paul Hofer III, whose Grandfather planted the vineyard. It was 960 acres in its heyday, and now just 6 acres remain. Planted in sand, a root structure 35 feet deep, surrounded by ancient Eucalyptus and Pink Peppercorn trees. These own-rooted, head-trained vines have been farmed organically since day dot.
