We invite you to “live off the land” with Ancient Peaks at a couple of exciting happenings this weekend.

U-Pick Pumpkins on October 14

We will be out of our gourds on Saturday as we host a “pick your own pumpkin” affair at Santa Margarita Ranch from 9 a.m. to noon. The festivities include special family photo locations and rides on our vintage Hummer. Proceeds benefit the Santa Margarita 4-H club. Small pumpkins are $3, mediums are $5 and larges are $8. This pumpkin patch was lovingly planted and tended by our vineyard manager, Jaime Muniz. Just come out to 5990 West Pozo Road to pick your pumpkin!

Gone Fishing on October 15

Let Ancient Peaks Winery co-proprietor Karl Wittstrom show you the ropes and help you create some fish tales as he leads you to our 13-acre reservoir at Margarita Vineyard for a casual fishing expedition. He will teach his catch and release techniques for the reservoir’s largemouth bass. This event is open to beginner through experienced fisherman. A fishing license and gear are required. Hats and sunscreen recommended. Please meet at the tasting room by 9 a.m. Cost is $15, click here to secure your spot.
