Greata Ranch was established in 1895 by British immigrant George Greata. Although the property was later managed by and then sold to the Long family, locals have long known the site as "Greata Ranch".

The Senator had visited Greata with his father when he was a young boy, he well remembered the magnificent peaches that he had sampled. This knowledge served him well when the property came up for sale in 1994. There was very little weather data on the property, but remembering the wonderful fruit that had been grown successfully gave him the insight that grapes would do well.

The first vines were planted in 1996 and the first harvest in the fall of 1998. Since that time Greata Ranch Vineyards has produced high quality grapes that have been showcased in many CedarCreek wines. In the spring of 2003 the first of the Greata Ranch wines were released under their own label and sold from the Greata location.
