A multi-use ranch near Temecula
Hawk Ranch occupies rolling land in Murrieta, a short drive from Temecula wine country. The property supports a large collection of farm animals as well as ceremonies, private gatherings, wellness programs, and lodging. Its Alpaca Hacienda herd gives alpacas a visible role within that broader setting.
For visitors, the main animal experience is a private guided tour reserved in advance. Guests meet the alpacas along with livestock and birds living elsewhere on the ranch. That combination distinguishes Hawk Ranch from smaller herd-focused operations in the collection of California alpaca farms.
The Alpaca Hacienda herd
Thirteen alpacas with individual names
Hawk Ranch currently introduces 13 alpacas as individual members of the herd rather than an unnamed group in the background. The ranch publishes selected profiles so guests can recognize animals such as Nilla, Hazel, Cloud, and Ginger before arriving.
Every private animal tour includes time with the alpacas. The ranch also offers recurring sponsorships tied to individual animals, with the current levels and benefits described separately on its website.

Several ways to use the ranch
Weddings and private events
Oak-shaded ceremony areas, the pond, lawns, covered space, and evening lighting support weddings and other gatherings. Wedding bookings receive private use rather than sharing the ranch with another ceremony that day.
Wellness retreats
Indoor and outdoor gathering areas can accommodate organized retreats, including programs led by outside facilitators. Retreat arrangements are handled separately from public tour reservations.
Overnight ranch stays
Three homes on the property allow couples, families, and groups to stay near the pastures. A lodging reservation does not provide unrestricted access to animal-care or event-operating areas.
A working property
Tour, event, and lodging bookings stay distinct
Hawk Ranch uses separate reservations for animal tours, venue visits, retreats, and overnight accommodations. Lodging guests receive access to their home and designated outdoor areas, while a farm tour can be added through the ranch. Use Hawk Ranch's direct website to confirm the booking type, current availability, access boundaries, and arrival instructions that apply to your plans.
