Plein air at Picchetti Ranch, Cupertino

This 308-acre preserve features 3.7 miles of trail, the historic Picchetti Winery and surrounding homestead.

A picturesque fragment of Santa Clara County history lives on at the Picchetti Ranch Area. The area, named after brothers Vincenzo and Secondo Picchetti, dates back to the 1800s when Vincenzo emigrated from Italy and shortly thereafter purchased a parcel of land on the ridge of what he referred to as "Monte Bello," Italian for beautiful mountain.
