Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Just five miles from the Pacific, you'll discover this sun-kissed treasure among the vineyards of Carmel: the Monterey Peninsula's sole grape-to-glass winery and a naturally beautiful event venue. Anchored by a dramatic French Chateau-style structure, the property encompasses a range of spaces to accompany gatherings of all scales and styles, most offering a seamless indoor/outdoor flow.
- Al fresco celebrations in the Rose Vineyard sit among acres of vines, bounded by the stunning Santa Lucia Mountains. A cobblestone pathways leads from here to the dramatic Barrel Room, a stunning space lined with hundreds of wine barrels stacked floor-to-ceiling. We also love the Wine Garden, where fragrant blooms and mature shade trees are accented by glowing lanterns and cozy fire pits, paired with the adjacent light-filled Greenhouse, a uniquely festive space with a handmade cypress table at its heart.
- The world-class cuisine is thoughtfully curated to enhance the flavors of their award-winning in-house wines, prepared using ethically sourced, sustainable, and local ingredients and presented with style and care. The chefs are happy to create a menu suited to your style and preferences, with plenty of options for unique add-ons—perhaps a prenuptial wine tasting with your loved ones or a burrata-making class paired with Folktale bubbles!
