The home on the Chileno Valley Ranch property, originally built in 1883, was beautifully restored by owners Sally and Michael Gale beginning in 1993. Formerly a bed and breakfast, Chileno Valley Ranch is located in the beautiful countryside outside of Petaluma and specializes in raising natural, grass-fed beef, which is available for purchase. Chileno Valley Ranch also features a "U-Pick Apple Orchard" where individuals and groups can schedule a time to come enjoy the outdoors and pick fruit from an organic apple orchard featuring varieties such as Pinova and Orin, all of which are blind taste test winners. In addition, Chileno Valley Ranch hosts art workshops and is available for a limited number of weddings each year.
