Ramona California has a long viticultural on the history, and the same applies for Vine Ramona, though the region was officially designated as an American Viticultural Area in 2006. Continued on page 16 www.ramonaguide.com 15
Ramona on the Vine Continued from page 15 A unique microclimate and ideal terroir helps make Ramona’s wine stand out in California and around the world, as many local winemakers have received prestigious awards for their craft. Popular varieties include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Sirah, but as the vines mature and winemakers reach new heights of skill and experience, they’re also successfully growing white grape varietals including Viognier and Muscat, and producing exciting varietals like Tempranillo and Tannat. But what really sets Ramona’s wine region apart is the experience. With comfortable weather year round, enjoy tasting and dining in the great outdoors, with beautiful views of the countryside surrounding you. Consider joining a wine club, and returning for tastings at exclusive member only events. Perhaps the best part of exploring Ramona’s wineries is the friendly wine- makers and staff who come from all walks to life and endeavor to create a unique experience for each visitor. Raise a glass and make new friends when you visit Ramona’s tasting rooms! n 16 www.ramonaguide.com

Visit EverythingRamona.com for a list of upcoming events. Hike one of Ramona’s trails and you’ll get Hit the Trail more than just a good workout. Whether you’re spotting wildlife, gaining a little perspective by taking in the view of mountains in the distance, or looking for a place to picnic in nature, you’re sure to find something great at each point along the trail. A good choice for hikers of any level, the Ramona Grassland County Preserve offers wide open spaces, views of hawks and eagles nesting nearby and cattle grazing in the field. This is a multi-use trail, so bring your bicycle or horse if desired! For a bigger challenge, check out Mt. Gower County Preserve. Some trails will take you 2,000 feet above sea level to get an expansive view of Ramona and the surrounding backcountry.

Did You KNow? Before it was permanently settled, the Ramona area was inhabited by the Kumeyaay Nation of native Americans (Diegueño), a semi-nomadic people, who established annual settlements there as they moved between coastal and inland grounds. Their presence is indicated by archeological evidence such as rock paintings, etchings, and grinding stones used to grind acorns into meal for bread.
