Richardson Ranch

Richardson Ranch encompasses 50,000 acres of redwood forest, pastureland, and shoreline — plus a 25-acre Pinot Noir vineyard on a bluff overlooking the ocean. It’s also home to the state’s oldest redwood: a 1,640-year-old tree with a trunk as wide as a two-lane road. Needless to say, this is quite the majestic place to set the table. Our hosts will tell us all about the ranch’s impressive history, conservation projects and sustainable meat and lumber production before we settle in for a meal from guest chef Francis Ang of Abacá — an acclaimed Filipino-Californian restaurant in San Francisco. He’ll cook us up a feast of traditional Filipino dishes and flavors using all the glorious fauna and flora of coastal California, plus plenty of meat raised on the ranch.
