That\u2019s the setup at McEvoy Ranch. Set in the Petaluma hills near the Sonoma-Marin border, the ranch provides an idyllic backdrop for tasting wine and extra-virgin olive oil.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"ai-optimize-7\">The story<\/h4>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-7\">Nan McEvoy, the granddaughter of San Francisco Chronicle founder M.H. de Young, could have just kicked back and enjoyed a cushy, work-free life. She was a newspaper heiress, after all. Instead, she convinced her father to let her work for the family paper as a reporter, and she eventually became the company\u2019s board chairman.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-8\">After retiring in her early 70s, McEvoy purchased a 550-acre property in Petaluma, thinking it would be a nice place for her city-dwelling grandchildren to run and play. The property\u2019s zoning meant it also needed an agricultural purpose, so she planted 3,000 imported Tuscan olive trees on the ranch in 1990 and created a nursery to supply trees to growers across the region.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_113493\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-113493\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-113493\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/tasting_rooms_wineries_McEvoy_Ranch_Petaluma_by_Shwetha_Kotekar_Sonoma_County_016-1024x1280.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/tasting_rooms_wineries_McEvoy_Ranch_Petaluma_by_Shwetha_Kotekar_Sonoma_County_016-1024x1280.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/tasting_rooms_wineries_McEvoy_Ranch_Petaluma_by_Shwetha_Kotekar_Sonoma_County_016-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/tasting_rooms_wineries_McEvoy_Ranch_Petaluma_by_Shwetha_Kotekar_Sonoma_County_016-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/tasting_rooms_wineries_McEvoy_Ranch_Petaluma_by_Shwetha_Kotekar_Sonoma_County_016-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/tasting_rooms_wineries_McEvoy_Ranch_Petaluma_by_Shwetha_Kotekar_Sonoma_County_016-1638x2048.jpg 1638w, https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/tasting_rooms_wineries_McEvoy_Ranch_Petaluma_by_Shwetha_Kotekar_Sonoma_County_016-1200x1500.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/tasting_rooms_wineries_McEvoy_Ranch_Petaluma_by_Shwetha_Kotekar_Sonoma_County_016.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/ alt=\"Olives at McEvoy Ranch in Petaluma.

In 2006, she added vineyards to complement the estate\u2019s 50 acres of olive groves \u2014 though the grapes were later removed during California\u2019s multiyear drought to prioritize water for the olive trees. Today, the late McEvoy\u2019s son Nion and his adult children run the family operation.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"ai-optimize-10\">The vibe<\/h4>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-10\">No matter how many times I\u2019ve driven from my home to the ranch, I still have to watch closely for the McEvoy sign on Point Reyes-Petaluma Road.

Fans of lighter-style Pinot Noir will find a kindred spirit in the 2021 Evening Standard Pinot Noir ($45) from the Sun Chase Vineyard in the Petaluma Gap. Aged in neutral oak for a subtle profile, the wine is all about red berries and soft tannins.
