Venue Features

The scene

The Villa at Sunstone is an exclusive prioperty that only does a handful of weddings per year.

Experience the Sunstone Estate with a stay at the luxurious Sunstone Villa. Once a private residence, The Villa is now proud to share its unique architecture and artifacts with guests. Staying at the Villa offers you the opportunity to see and touch a piece of history.

Surrounded by sweeping views overlooking the Santa Ynez Mountains and the winery’s 55-acre estate, the Villa at Sunstone is an old world architectural masterpiece.

Completed in 2004, the Villa was constructed entirely from artifacts and materials recovered from buildings and rural villages carefully selected by Sunstone founders Fred and Linda Rice while on numerous trips to quarries and reclamation yards. The Villa has five master suites each replete with its own private bath, fine linens and bedding. It also includes eight fireplaces, Billiards room and numerous terraces and patios with views of the mountains and vineyard.

Design

Built from imported limestone from a small village in France, and wood beams and roof tiles reclaimed from a 19th century lavender factory, once owned by Queen Victoria, the Tuscan-inspired Villa boasts 8,500 square feet of luxury living space.
