Our tale begins with family, blossoms with a love of wine and art, and becomes true with a shared vision for a magical property. In 2014, our families happened upon Milagro, a Ramona Valley estate of sculpted boulders, rich terrain and acres of vineyards. Here was a property rooted in the traditions of classic winemaking, warm tasting room gatherings and inviting orchards; all lovingly cultivated by the Sickels family and winemaker, Jim Hart. We fell in love, and as the new owners of Milagro, we are proud to build upon the property’s storied foundation.
At the core of everything we do, whether it is winemaking, farming, or opening our property to weddings and events, we do so with integrity, authenticity and a desire to honor the characteristics unique to our Ramona Valley and our rich, Mexican culture. Our winemaking team shares our philosophy – to be in harmony with the land and capture the essence of our own terroir. Our desire is to create wines that best represent Milagro and the Ramona Valley.
We are passionate about everything we do and look forward to sharing our Milagro with you.
Situated at 2,400′ elevation and bathed in Southern California sun, Milagro enjoys warm days and cool nights, an idyllic climate for producing flavorful grapes. Our 110 acres includes drip-irrigated, drought-tolerant vines, with 11 different varietals, an organic farm, abundant fruit and nut orchards and a stunning crush house and wine cave. Tucked into the Ramona Valley, our property features a naturally rolling landscape dotted with impressive granite boulders and Coast Live Oak trees and is nourished by deep onsite wells and granite-rich soil.
Milagro embodies the essence of our commitment to working in harmony with our land.
Milagro has more than 10,000 vines, with 11 different varietals, planted throughout our 110-acre property. Our rich soil, hilly terrain and idyllic climate imbue our wines with qualities unique to our Ramona Valley.
Our property includes a 1-acre organic farm that grows a variety of produce exclusively for Whisknladle Hospitality restaraurants and our Tasting Room guests. Milagro is also home to a multitude of fruit and nut trees.
Built by Kit and Karen Sickels, Milagro’s founders, the original Cave and Crush House still stand today. These signature structures serve as the perfect backdrop for your beautiful wedding, private event and Wine Club gathering.
