  • Malibu Coast California
    AMERICAN VITICULTURE AREA PETITION FOR MALIBU COAST CALIFORNIA WRITTEN & SUBMITTED BY RALPH JENS CARTER ON BEHALF OF THE WINE GRAPE GROWERS OF THE AREA INTRODUCTION The Malibu Coast proposed AVA is in southwestern Los Angeles County and southeast corner of Ventura County, California, and much of it lies within the Santa Monica Mountain National Recreational Area (SMMNRA) It is bounded on the north by Newbury Park, Greenwich Village, Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, Agoura Hills and a total of about 20 urban development exits along the Highway 101 corridor. On the east lie the cities of Beverly Hills and Hollywood. To the south is the Pacific Ocean and on the west are the cities of Oxnard and Camarillo. The area is approximately 46 miles long and 8 miles wide. The Malibu Coast proposed AVA is comprised of privately owned lands evenly scattered throughout the SMMNRA and amounts to less than 53% of the land area within the Recreational Area. There are two pre-existing AVA's in the general area: Saddle Rock Malibu (2090 acres)and Malibu-Newton Canyon (850 acres). The Malibu Coast proposed AVA comprised approximately 94,060 acres of privately owned lands evenly scattered throughout the 182,000 acre Santa Monica Mountain Recreational Area. This equates to less than 53% of the land area within the Recreational Area. The Santa Monica Mountains are unique example of a mediterranean ecosystem. Mediterranean areas are close to the sea but usually also close to a considerable land mass. The Santa Monica Mountains have a history of continuous human occupation dating back more than 8000 years.

This site was home to the Chumash, Spanish Rancho El Conejo, and r&L>* fsf%tu modern ranching and farming operations. Stroll through serene hills, view Boney Mountain or experience Native American traditions at the Satwiwa Native American Indian Culture Center. Satwiwa For many years the Santa Monica Mountains sustained the Chumash and Gabrielino/Tongva cultures. Sycamore Canyon, which cuts through Rancho Sierra Vista/Satwiwa and Point Mugu State Park, was part of a Chumash trade route. Satwiwa, which means "the bluffs," was the name of a nearby Chumash village. To reflect this heritage, Satwiwa Native American Indian Culture Center and Natural Area was established by the National Park Service in partnership with the Friends of Satwiwa. A Native American guest host or an NPS ranger is on hand to answer questions from 9am to 5pm on Saturdays and Sundays. Workshops, ceremonies and festivities occur throughout the year. Call for information on accessibility parking. Rancho Sierra Vista Local ranching history began in 1803 when former soldiers Jose Polanco and Ignacio Rodriquez were granted Rancho El Conejo by the King of Spain. Through the years this 48,672 acre land grant was subdivided and sold off to various landowners. Modern ranching began here in 1937 when Carl Beal christened the area Rancho Sierra Vista. Carl Beal constructed most of the current ranch buildings and his house and barbecue pit in Sycamore Canyon.
