“To carry out Tempranillo’s passion for the best ingredients, we embarked to make our Missouri Heights Ranch a productive farm raising chickens, pigs and cattle as well as seasonal organic vegetables. During the summer months, fresh herbs are grown on Tempranillo’s grounds and local produce is sourced from the farmers’ market to create authentic dishes with a rich depth of flavors.  We currently raise free range Iberico Black Spanish pigs and are cross breeding with Berkshire hogs. We also raise free range chickens and harvest fresh eggs. What we cannot source locally, we hand select the best imports to create authentic Mediterranean cuisine.

Javier travels back to Spain annually to add to the wide mix of imported ingredients and flavors to the Tempranillo menu. Tempranillo Ranch affords the opportunity to integrate these flavors from a local setting.  Tempranillo has won the Diners Choice award as well as Best Mediterranean Restaurant in the area.” -Laura
