Vine Hill is a loosely-defined rural area near the headwaters of the Branciforte Creek watershed. The name came from brothers John and George Jarvis, who planted a new vineyard on their hillside land, and became major wine producers. In 1876, the Jarvis brothers got into retail, constructing a building on Pacific Avenue to house a wine & spirits shop. There are still some small vineyards in the Vine Hill Road – Jarvis Road area, but the centers of County wine production are elsewhere and most of the Jarvis hillsides are once again covered by forest.
