The Rancho Agua Caliente Vineyard is our home ranch in Glen Ellen, steeped in history. The name means hot water ranch and is a nod to the sacred hot springs in the area. The eye is a traditional symbol that represents health, protection, and restoration, and symbolizes our commitment to the land and the sacred history of the Rancho Agua Caliente property. Our RAC Reserve red wine used to be called Makeshift.
