Our family, Taber, Stephens & Armstrong, has deep roots in the valley. Many generations enjoyed tractor rides for Mother’s Day at Merlin & Hiyi Taber’s home on Taber Corner and visiting the ranch when it had settled into a quiet but beautiful place with a few acres of ancestor almond trees, some ailing buildings and lots of open rolling hills. In the late 90’s, Martin & Dawn Armstrong, our visionary owners, imagined new life and purpose for the old family ranch and so began its transformation into the beautiful and versatile venue our guests enjoy today. In the early days, ponds and reservoirs were dug, hilltops were leveled and the slopes terraced for grapes and olives. Gardens were planted and the old barn became the home for first dances and toasting to the future.
