“Give me books, wine, fruit, fine weather,
and a little music played outdoors
by someone I don’t know.”
- John Keats
John Keats was an English poet from the second generation
of Romantic poets, including Shelley and Byron. Although his
quote on wine is over 200 years old, his sentiment continues to
resonate across generations. Rancho Cucamonga is fortunate that our strong roots—
encompassing the City’s location, history, and thoughtful planning—have brought us
to a place where we can provide such amenities to our residents.
Everyone knows about our wonderful climate and the fact that we can enjoy outdoor
dining and shopping year-round at Victoria Gardens, the #1 lifestyle mall in the United
States. Victoria Gardens continues to expand with new dining options, including Philz
Coffee, Bacio di Latte, Seasons 52, and Mendocino Farms, either recently opened or
under construction.
Building on this, the City recently launched a project to transform the Victoria Gardens
Cultural Center Courtyard—previously a large, open concrete area—into a space
where live music and other entertainment will be available on weekends almost year-
round. Upon completion, the area will feature a permanent outdoor stage, audiovisual
equipment, comfortable seating for nearly 1,000 people, shade, and additional
landscaping. This transformation will further enhance Victoria Gardens’ appeal to all
generations, inviting people to borrow a book from the Paul A. Biane Library, enjoy the
weather, and listen to music outdoors, played by someone they don’t know.
If a taste of the viticulture experience is what you seek, the City is working on that,
too. Rancho Cucamonga has enlisted the expertise of local vintners Gino Filippi and
Domenic Galleano to restore and expand the historical grapevines in Central Park.
Early in the project, it was discovered that more vines were present than initially
believed, and with proper care over the past few years, these vines have begun
to thrive. Inspired by this discovery and eager to preserve a piece of the city’s
agricultural heritage, the City incorporated a Viticulture Pavilion and adjacent vineyard
into the Master Plan. These additions will offer future generations insight into Rancho
Cucamonga’s viticulture heritage. The City recently entered into a long-term lease
with Galleano Winery to plant additional grapes and expand the vineyard near the
planned Viticulture Pavilion. This expansion will serve as a production area, ensuring
the continuation of the Cucamonga Valley American Viticultural Area.
Books, wine, fine weather, and music played by someone you don’t know—just as
appealing in 2025 as it was in the early 1800s.
Sincerely,
John R. Gillison, City Manager

Criminals look for the easiest opportunity when deciding to
commit a crime. Knowing who and what is around you can
help you avoid being a victim of a crime.
Rancho Cucamonga Police Department wants to help residents,
businesses, and visitors identify and prevent unlawful acts
such as fraud, identity theft, auto theft, telephone scams,
and other types of crimes.
We encourage everyone to practice the
following crime prevention tips to make you
less appealing to theft and ensure your safety:
BE AWARE
Pay attention to your surroundings and know
what’s going on around you at all times
(cell phones are a huge distraction).
BE SECURE
Ε2ZfMhbZ^PYh^daQ^^ab͒V^\RM]QeRVWPZR͓ͣ

your vehicle.
ΕIVR]R]cRaW]Uh^daeRVWPZRͦW\\RQWMcRZh
lock your doors and drive away.
BE VIGILANT
Display confidence and trust your instincts.
Criminals choose a victim who looks like
the easiest target, which is partially based
on their perception about your ability to
react to an attack.
BE PRIVATE
Do not give personal information over the
phone such as Social Security Numbers or
bank account information.
Following these crime prevention tips can make
the difference in whether you’re targeted or not.
For more information on how you can protect
yourself from becoming a victim, contact the
Rancho Cucamonga Police Department.
