History of Wine in the Region
Before Napa and Sonoma counties became the wine-making centers of California, greater Los Angeles was the largest producer of wine in the state, going back to the local missions in the 18th century. In Los Angeles and on outlying ranchos and farms like Lake Vineyard (San Marino), Rancho La Puente, and Rancho Cucamonga in the Ontario area, vineyards and wineries flourished for decades during the 1800s. Robert Barron and Paul R. Spitzzeri from the Workman and Temple Family Homestead Museum in the City of Industry will talk about the region’s wine-making at a slide-illustrated talk at the Ovitt Family Community Library on Tuesday, April 7, 2020 at 6:30PM.
