California Wedding

Discover the Ranch & Vineyard Barn, one of the best kept secret places to experience a destination wedding. Your wedding day should be one of jubilant serenity, where the pressures of all the months of planning slip away as you revel in celebration with your family and friends.

The Ranch and Vineyard Barn is a privately hidden enclave in the foothills of Northern California, just southeast of the historic towns of Nevada City and Grass Valley. A beautiful cathedral barn sets the stage for your event, surrounded by rolling vineyards and impeccably landscaped grounds. Fruit trees and ponds dot the landscape and our organic farm produces the bounty that will be served to your guests by our exclusive caterer, Gourmand. After your ceremony, the Vineyard Barn’s 13’ high castle doors open revealing a most magical landscape of lush lawn terraces and blue oak trees filled with flickering luminaries. A stone fire circle roars to life as the night falls into dancing under the stars. As the evening concludes, your guests are safely shuttled to town and you retreat to the private Duck Pond Cabin for a glass of champagne by the fire or a mid-night swim in the waterfalls of the pond.

The Ranch imparts a feeling of calming reassurance that greets each guest as they pass the threshold of the gate and remains with them long after they leave us. We are pleased to offer an unparalleled wedding experience to unique and discerning couples by referral or private invitation only. We invite you to join us for an on-site interview. The ranch is not open to the public and accepts a limited number of applicants to host each season.
