Family History

Mih.ila'khawna, the valley of Dry Creek, the home of Southern Pomo tribes, became a portion of Tzabaco Rancho when José German Piña applied for a Mexican land grant in 1843. Building an adobe that was fashioned more like a fort, José Piña developed the property and raised cattle, corn, wheat and other crops. Dying before the age of 25, the property passed on to his brothers Francisco, Lewis and Jesus and his sister Clara and her husband William Fitch.

The history of Tzabaco Rancho Vineyards begins with Duvall Drake (D.D.) Phillips in 1856. Having crossed the plains on horseback in 1849, D.D. had lived in the gold fields as a miner and flume-builder for over five years before realizing that his future lie elsewhere. During a scouting trip in 1855 to Sonoma County D.D. approached the Piña family in regard to purchasing a portion of their 17,000 acre Tzabaco Rancho. They were not willing to sell at that time, but misfortunes of drought and crop fire the following year caused them to reconsider. In the fall of 1856 D.D. and partner Samuel O. Heaton bought 137¼ acres for $1112.82½. Over the next few decades more property was purchased, some was sold, and Samuel and D.D. went their separate ways after a fifty-fifty split of their properties.
