Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Blending rustic charm and unpretentious luxury, this one-of-a-kind resort is nestled on 28 bucolic acres of rolling hills, grapevines, and unspoiled farmland. It's ideal for a relaxing wedding retreat: a trio of tempting on-site restaurants (with a culinary team well-versed in vegetarian and Jain menus), a stylish pool and deck, and a tranquil Spa are just a few of the in-house amenities you and your guests can enjoy.
- South Asian and cultural weddings are a seamless fit, with a range of spaces to accommodate every part of your multi-day celebration. The exquisite Vineyard Lawn and adjacent porte-cochère set the stage for a Napa-style baraat leading to the Arbor, where the trellis and water feature are the perfect frame for your mandap. The views are sublime, encompassing the surrounding fragrant gardens, lush vineyards, and distant mountains.
- Whole families can enjoy the weekend in the on-site cottages and homes, which invite groups to stay comfortably across several days. There's plenty of flexibility for auxiliary events throughout the resort: you might host a mehndi night at the Gathering Tables, section out the Napa and Sonoma Ballrooms for intimate celebrations, like haldis or tea ceremonies, or let your sangeet or Sofreh Aghd take over the Carneros Courtyard, which boasts a spacious lawn, stone fireplace, and party-ready sound and lighting.
