Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • Built in the 1850s by the pioneer vintner Pierre Hypolite Dallidet, this historic landmark is bursting with vintage charm: in addition to the quaint adobe farmhouse, many of the diverse trees, shrubs, and flowers are also original to the one-acre property.
  • Process down a lovely bricked path to your garden ceremony, where you'll exchange vows beneath a rustic wooden pergola. After the vows, you'll want to explore the sweet nooks and niches around the winding trails with your photographer, capturing romantic photos amid the garden's ever-changing landscape.
  • Receptions unfold beneath a canopy of soaring redwoods and avocado trees on one of the pretty brick courtyards, where the sweet songs of native birds serenade you as you dine among the colorful blooms. We also recommend  inviting guests to enjoy docent-led tours of the adobe farmhouse, which provides even more wonder to this miraculous place.
