Nestled in the eastern foothills of Morgan Hill, Big Oak Ranch is a beautiful 56-acre estate surrounded by rolling hills and flourishing vineyards. Set on a historic landslide site, the ranch benefits from a distinctive microclimate, mineral-rich soils, and elevated terrain that create ideal growing conditions for both red and white grape varietals. Located within California’s renowned Central Coast AVA, just a short drive from Silicon Valley, Big Oak Ranch offers a picturesque setting where exceptional wines begin their journey from vine to glass. Our Lightpost Winery tasting room is conveniently located just three miles away at 900 Lightpost Way, Morgan Hill, California, minutes from the Cochrane Road exit off Highway 101. Easily accessible to locals and visitors alike, it's the perfect place to relax, discover our wines, and enjoy a taste of Morgan Hill wine country.
Our Wines, Our Passion Great wine begins in the vineyard. We carefully select fruit from sustainably farmed vineyards across California's finest wine-growing regions, including our own Big Oak Ranch estate in Morgan Hill. From exceptional grapes to premium French oak barrels and the finest winemaking supplies, we believe every detail matters. We combine traditional winemaking techniques with a thoughtful, hands-on approach, allowing each wine to express the unique character of the vineyard it comes from. Every bottle tells a story of the land, the people, and the passion behind it. And we hope that when you open one of our wines, it becomes part of your own story, whether it's a special celebration, a memorable dinner, or simply a Tuesday evening worth enjoying. Our motto? “If you like it, drink it!” 🍷 Because great wine isn't about complicated rules or fancy descriptions. It's about discovering what you love and enjoying every sip.
