Venue Setting

Thacher Winery at the historic Kentucky Ranch is a very special place to celebrate. Intimate weddings and parties are our specialty - where only your closest family and friends celebrate with you. The Thacher Family offer you and your guests complete privacy and exclusive use of the 52 acre ranch, 1920's KR Barn, winery, tasting room and vineyard. The setting is classic country, with all the casual charm of an old fashioned Californian horse ranch and winery. Enjoy views of hay fields, vineyards and oak studded hills as well as super premium boutique production Zinfandel and Rhone wines. Your hosts; Michelle and her husband and winemaker Sherman Thacher, have owned and operated the Kentucky Ranch and Thacher Winery since 2004 and they welcome you to celebrate here. Michelle’s dedication, attention to detail, and willingness to make your day unique and truly about you will exceed your expectations.
