On Location:
Mission Vineyard
(Virginia Dare Winery)
The third season episode "The
Hunter" was shot in Cucamonga at Mission Vineyard winery in Cucamonga,
California. RAT PATROL also filmed an episode here.
Address: 10470 Foothill Blvd., Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730
According to Glen Icanberry (Feb, 2009): "A German, John H.
Klusmann had established the Mission Winery in 1910 [...] The Mission
Vineyard Company Winery, which had been sold to Garrett & Company in 1918,
was later operated under the name of Virginia Dare Winery, located at
Foothill Boulevard and Haven Avenue."
The Winery is located at the northwest corner of Haven and Foothill Boulevard in Rancho Cucamonga.
Now it is used as office space for upper scale services, such as architects
and dentists, but the building is still the original 1830s architecture and
lets you imagine a very elegant past.
