HistoryThe focal point of Holman Ranch Vineyards and Winery is a 1928 Carmel Stone Hacienda. This private residence was originally a gentleman?s retreat, and hosted celebrities such as Charlie Chaplin. In 1943, when the Holman?s took ownership, they turned the ranch into a vibrant, social scene for the Central Valley. Now it?s owned by the Lowder family who restored it, and turned it into the event venue it is today.
