Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- With the feel of a private country estate rather than a traditional hotel, this romantic hideaway in the forests of the Russian River Valley is made for weddings that are deeply personal, rooted, and naturally beautiful—without ever feeling overproduced. Designed exclusively for intimate gatherings, it can accommodate sweet elopements or soirees with up to 50 of your nearest and dearest, with a warm hospitality philosophy that invites you to soak in every precious moment.
- Hidden away at the back of the property, the serene back lawn sets the stage for dreamy ceremonies accompanied by the soft sounds of flowing water. Al fresco receptions unfold on the centerpiece Courtyard, where you can dine and dance under the warm glow of café lights. For smaller dinners, opt for the Grange, with its lovely extended patio, or the historic Restaurant, which offers a classic-but-elevated Wine Country dining experience.
- Embrace all the moments that surround the ceremony with a full weekend buyout. Host a welcome wine tasting or lounge poolside as your loved ones gather; stay up late after the party mingling around the fire pit; and refresh after the festivities with a restorative treatment in the Wellness Barn. You'll love their exceptional, chef-driven culinary program, which showcases the rich bounty of Sonoma County with menus designed around seasonal ingredients sourced from local purveyors and partner farms.
