Picchetti Ranch Open Space Preserve

Beautiful! On a warm summer morning, the scenery was absolutely gorgeous.
Lovely place to get away from the stress of life. This place is near the Piccehtti Winery, so after the hike, you can visit their tasing room. The main trail is called Zinfandel, which is super cute. ( Thank you, California !)

There is an area with picnic tables.


The color of peacock was beautiful.

Behind the winery, you'll find the trails. 

ZINFANDEL --This is a appropriate name.

There is a small creek, and it's nearly dried up.

The 17-Mile Drive is just that, exactly 17 miles long. There are about 20 stops and view points to get out and take photos. There is so much to see and enjoy...sea birds, sea lions, seals..can easily fill an entire day with exploration and discovery.
