Rio Bravo Ranch

Rio Bravo Ranch Promoting our Rio Bravo Ranch Wine and Olive Oil Rio Bravo Ranch has a history longer than even the most established Kern Country families may remember.
(1)

In 1861, the Solomon Jewett family founded 160 acres of land on the Kern River‹or Rio Bravo, as the Mexican settlers called it‹and their sheep ranch was one of the very first in the region. Other families began settling in the adjacent areas within the canyon, and the land began to become consolidated as the separate ranches were bought and sold. Eventually, the 30,000 acre ranch was divided in tw

o, and George W. Nickel bought the lower 16,000 acres. Today, the Nickel family farms citrus, almonds, olives, and cattle feed on the land¹s dry pastures. Much of the riparian land along the Kern River and Cottonwood creek, however, are untouched, and much will remain that way.

Now serving crisp, chilled white wine at Rio Bravo Ranch ☀️🤍

We’ve added two white wines from Croad Vineyards to our tastings just in time for summer.

Vermentino — crisp, bright, and refreshing with notes of citrus blossom and ripe pear, finishing smooth and dry.

Kapua — a blend of Vermentino and Viognier with light fruit notes, hints of white peach, bright acidity, and an elegant finish.

Stop by and enjoy a tasting or share a bottle on the patio!

Open Thursday–Saturday | 11–3

A few sweet moments from lately at the Ranch ☀️🍷🌿

The patios have been full, the rafting started on the Kern, and we’ve loved seeing so many people come out for wine tastings, charcuterie boards, and afternoons at the Ranch. Our new olive oil bottle design has officially made its way into the market too 🫒

And… we may have a new product coming to the market soon 👀
Can you guess what it is?
