Private Estate Venue

The Private Estate setting is of our most popular intimate wedding locations. This estate has an array of backdrops for your wedding day photos... a lush and shady garden, woods, a grassy knoll with valley/vineyard views, an olive grove, and a garden house which can be used for your ceremony in the event of rain. The setting is quiet, peaceful and elegant and tourist free.

Following the ceremony, the garden house, with its big fireplace and walls that open to the elements, makes a great setting for a romantic, post-ceremony indoor/outdoor lunch or for a champagne and light hors d’oeuvres reception.

The estate is less than 5 minutes from some of the best accommodations in the region, as well as all of the top restaurants. A typical scenario is a late afternoon wedding, followed by hors d'oeuvres and champagne at a local winery and then dinner at a great French restaurant (where there are several semi-private dining settings).

You can also do a late morning wedding followed by a gourmet lunch on beautifully set tables in the garden house or out on the terrace. The afternoon can be spent taking your guests on a leisurely wine tour… a "traveling wedding reception" via stretch limo. Remain in your wedding garb and enjoy getting toasted (and securing a few free congratulatory bottles of wine) along the way! You'll round out your day with a celebratory dinner at a great restaurant near your hotel.

This estate is also available for large weddings for ceremony through reception and can be configured in any number of ways. It is an exceptional property for your special day!
