Gary and Virginia (Ginny) Boney started planning their retirement in 2003 and purchased four acres in Ramona Valley. “We completed the house in 2006 and realized we had a lot of land with no plans.

Teri Kerns and Micole Moore moved to Ramona in 2004 with a huge desire to live in the countryside. Teri grew up in the country on the Oregon coast and Ramona fit their western lifestyle.
“We purchased 10 raw acres, with a stick-framed house, which started our Ramona adventure. I’ve always loved wine, its history, and romance, so I attended and joined the Ramona Valley Vineyard Association in February 2005, intending to plant a few vines and make wine [just for ourselves],” Kerns said.

We named our winery after our roadrunners who live in the area and visit us on occasion. Plus it was an easy logo to create. People seem to remember it even if they can’t pronounce Correcaminos.
Today Correcaminos Winery has a lovely tasting patio with large canvas tents to protect patrons from the elements. Their wines change all the time, but they have a lovely First Note wine, a sweet wine that features Symphony grapes. This popular wine is perfect for hot summer days. Another white wine is Viognier.

The grapes grew and we did seem to enjoy it, so we planted more grapes, eventually planting a total of nine varietals,” Marilyn Kahle said. Continue Reading →
