"So the first thing we want to do is get the foot traffic back, get the tenants all happy here. Then get the weddings and events going again because those have been kind of stopped the last six months," said Jobin Randhawa, the new property manager.
With a purchase price of nearly $12 million, the new owners did not want to see the popular venue shut down.
Randhawa says he saw a lot of potential on the large, 128-acre property. That starts with the businesses inside the mill's main building. After the property went into foreclosure in the summer of 2025 following the former owner's sudden death, the wineries stayed open despite the uncertainty.
"If they hadn't done that, we would have bought an empty building. They stayed here. They kept everything going. They kept the vision alive," said Randhawa.
"We got people in, everybody's tasting, having a good time. That's what the Sugar Mill is all about," said Smolich.
"They're putting stuff into it, cleaning it up and getting it going again. We just need people to come in and visit taste the wine," said Smolich.
"I'm extremely excited that it's moving forward in the right direction. I think that this is history and such a meaningful place to so many people," said Monica Khan, a longtime customer.
Randhawa wants to restore the property to its former glory and bring back some popular events of the past.
"Longer term, concerts. We want to make this a destination. We need food here. That's the biggest thing. People always tell us we need food here, so we're working on that as well," said Randhawa. They also want to bring back grape crushing on site for the wineries to help boost the local wine grape business.
