Santa Margarita Ranch

Santa Margarita Ranch Moreover, a 975-acre vineyard was established as one of the Central Coast’s first to employ resource conservation practices.

First established in 1787 by Spanish padres, Santa Margarita began as a farming and ranching outpost to support the operations of nearby Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa. Named Santa Margarita de Cortona Asistencia, this land was eventually privatized when Mexico gained independence from Spain in 1822 and awarded to a young officer of the Mexican Army as a land grant. From that time forward, the

Ranch has been owned and operated by several prominent California citizens, playing host to lavish rodeos, fiestas—even a circus—and today retains many of its original and early structures. Since 2000, the 13,900-acre Santa Margarita Ranch has been owned by the Rossi, Filipponi and Wittstrom families, whose rotational cattle grazing program has allowed perennial grasses to return, a lush riparian habitat to thrive, and the regeneration of many oak trees. The Ranch continues to be the site of grand fiestas, hosting non-profit fundraisers, tours, and private events throughout the year.

It is with great disappointment we share that Santa’s Village has sustained considerable damage from last night’s winds. For the safety and enjoyment of our ticket holders we are making the difficult decision to cancel tonight’s event.

We wanted to notify all ticket holders as soon as possible but we have not yet been able to regroup to determine if we can offer a make-up night in coming days. Please give us a few hours to work on these logistics and we assure you we will be in touch with more information and options for all of tonight’s ticket holders. Again, we are devastated to make this difficult decision and promise to be in touch again today, as soon as possible.

Thank you.
