Venue Features
The scene:
Greengate Ranch & Vineyard is a destination wedding venue offering a whole weekend of celebrating. Multiple opportunities for both wedding ceremonies and reception celebrations are available right here on the property, from our historic wood Barn & Courtyard to the serene Pond ~ a personalized experience awaits you. We offer a private destination experience that includes family and friends throughout a full weekend of gathering, connecting and celebrating on our 140 acre ranch and vineyard property.

We invite you to take full advantage of all the amenities during your wedding weekend and possible extended stay with us. Begin your wedding weekend with a cocktail party and bocce ball on a sunny Thursday afternoon at Pool Arena. Enjoy an offsite wine tour on Friday, followed by rehearsal dinner at the Ranch House Terrace Lawn. Celebrate your Saturday wedding with a Pond ceremony and reception at the Barn & Courtyard. Host a Sunday farewell brunch on the Vineyard Vista or back down at the Pool Arena for a day of R&R. Not ready to leave, rent just one or two of the houses for another night and let the weekend sin in before heading back home.
Design:
Our historic wood Barn is the original Greengate 1880s ranch barn, reconstructed in 2012 with proper insulation, lighting and electric, and finished with all reclaimed vintage wood from the original 1880s barn, making it a one of a kind air tight structure with charm for miles. The grounds and various outdoor venues on the property are maintained beautifully with manicured lawns surrounded by old growth trees and views of the lush valley and our vineyards. Each of our on-site homes is furnished and decorated with luxurious details while keeping the style of an authentic ranch. Our ranch is the perfect mix of modern and refined rustic to exemplify California wine country.

2017's Most Stunning Barns Across The USA
There’s something pretty wonderful about a wedding at a barn. You’re often away from the city, hidden from the world, and surrounded by nature. The sun stretches its beams in full during the ceremony and the moon watches over the festivities of the reception. It’s a really good deal. We love all kinds of barns, from peaceful forest scenes in the Pacific Northwest to sprawling lawn offerings in the South. There’s a storybook quality to them and it always seems like the most welcoming atmosphere and spirited celebration around. That’s why we put together the latest edition of this annual collection. Make sure to check out the previous editions of our favorite wedding barns in America as well, because it seems like that’s where the best times happen.  By: Jake Kilroy
