The plaque says, "Established by Tiburcio Tapia, to whom the Cucamonga Rancho was granted March 3, 1839 by Governor Juan Bautista Alvarado of Mexico."
There is a small tasting room inside the historic building which due to Covid was not open. However, a smaller restaurant was open inside the building with limited indoor seating and a small outdoor patio. They use the Mission Grapes to create their wines. I cannot find the names of the specific wines they produce either online or in person. Likely because the tasting room and store were closed.
