We have had to reschedule the Oliver Ranch Tour & Coppola Tasting. Oliver Ranch didn't want everyone getting rained on while visiting their breath-taking ranch.June 29th is the new date that Oliver Ranch graciously provided. The tour is two and a half hours and is limited to 50 people. This is a rare opportunity as the ranch is not open to the public. Tours are strictly for the benefit of non-profit groups such as the FOSCWL. A specially arranged wine tasting will take place a Francis Ford Coppola Winery following the tour. Find out more at our link on Brown Paper Tickets.
