The scraggly grapevines in the vineyard of the Pio Pico property in Whittier, CA.

There are only a few rows of grapevines.

Several rows of grapevines.

This foto illustrates the gravity-fed water which irrigated the vineyard as well as the rows of vines.

View of riverbed along which 605 now runs. This riverbed must've fed the small vineyard.

There are 3 vineyards I know of in LA. You? One in Beverly Hills by the 405, one in Irvine, & one in Whittier on the property of the Pio Pico residence. Who knew there were vineyards in LA?! Wow! What climate/micro-climate is right for these vineyards? What did they yield? When? How much output was there? Wine tasting tour? Really-so 150 years ago Pio Pico had a vineyard in Whittier and the grapevines are STILL there?! Yep! How neat is THAT?! : )
