About
Amidst the scenic route to Yosemite, a hidden gem awaits RV camping enthusiasts and wine lovers alike. Imagine parking your RV on a sprawling 20-acre oasis just off Highway 140 East of Merced, where farm plots meet vineyards, and the charm of early 20th-century farmhouse architecture basks in the sun. This idyllic setup isn't just any spot; it's a unique blend of agricultural beauty and rustic elegance, offering a distinctive experience far removed from the typical camping ground.
As you step out of your RV, the air carries the scent of earth and ripening grapesa teaser of the delights to follow. The heart of this enchanting property is a white 1910 farmhouse transformed into a tasting room that invites you into an afternoon reverie of sipping exquisite wines amidst a backdrop of lush fruit trees and meticulously cared-for farm plots. Open seven days a week, from 9 am to 6 pm, the tasting room is more than just a place to taste wine; it's where stories are shared, and connections are made.
For those who relish in the joy of gentle competition, the property boasts two Bocce Ball courts, perfect for a friendly game under the canopy of the sky. And for the foodies, the significance of farm-to-table comes to life here in the most literal sense. With an array of year-round and seasonal farm plots, the freshness of the earth's bounty is just a step away, providing not only the ingredients for stunning events but also a treasure trove of produce available at the farm market.
Come October, the property transforms into an autumnal wonderland. The Pumpkin Patch becomes the star attraction, offering visitors a chance to pick from a variety of heirloom pumpkins, Indian corn, squash, gourds, and wheat stalks. It's a celebration of fall, open to the public and a delightful educational experience for school field trips.
For RV camping enthusiasts looking for more than just a place to park, this property offers a retreat into the pleasures of agricultural life, winemaking, and the rustic charm of a bygone era, all while providing the modern amenities necessary for a comfortable stay. The first night is offered without a fee, making it an inviting option for travelers. Any additional nights are available for a nominal charge of $25, ensuring an affordable and enriching stay.
As you plan your journey through the picturesque landscapes leading to Yosemite, consider a detour to this extraordinary property. It's not just a stop along the way; it's a destination that promises memories, discoveries, and, of course, some of the finest wines the region has to offer. Safe travels and see you soon at this haven of rustic elegance and agricultural bountywhere RV camping meets the unparalleled beauty of farm and vineyard life.
