Our enchanting outdoor wedding venue is nestled within a four-acre Pinot Noir vineyard and encompassed by ancient oaks and fragrant lavender fields. Expansive verdant lawns offer breathtaking views of the Santa Lucia Highlands, providing a stunning natural backdrop for your garden or vineyard wedding celebration.

An idyllic setting for weddings and receptions, the sun-drenched Valley Lawn offers a wealth of space for ceremonies, dinner receptions and celebrations—along with incomparable views of Carmel Valley and its rolling hillsides.

At the heart of the Carmel Valley Ranch experience is the Organic Garden. With this venue the possibilities are limitless: plan events like a cocktail party, a culinary challenge or opening reception that invites your attendees to connect with the land and the legendary stories of Carmel Valley.

The Redwood Room, perched high above the Vineyard Lawn in the Lodge, offers traditional elegance perfect for your wedding celebration. As Carmel Valley Ranch’s largest venue, this room can be divided into four equal parts, is window-lined on three sides with tree-shaded views of the valley and forest, and has a private outdoor terrace—ideal for a cocktail hour or an intimate gathering.

A short stroll from the Valley Lawn, the expansive Clubhouse Patio accommodates larger weddings and receptions with two crackling fire pits, a built-in stone bar, a soothing water feature and scenic views of our golf course and valley.

For larger weddings and receptions, The Clubhouse is an exceptional choice. Its expansive patios and breathtaking views of the natural landscape create an immersive experience. Guests can gaze upon the beauty of the valley through three walls of glass windows beneath a soaring 30-foot vaulted ceiling.

A favorite meeting space at the Lodge, the Oak Room offers two walls of glass windows and a sunlit outdoor courtyard. It’s also home to the ever-popular Adventure Kitchen, where our chefs are available to provide interactive cooking demos or prepare fresh-from-the-garden meals in front of your group.

Showcasing a contemporary water fountain under Carmel’s sun-drenched skies, enjoy a more intimate event in this delightful courtyard space as it wraps around the Oak Room.

Like a charmed treetop aerie, this terrace venue, just below Valley Kitchen, offers impeccable views of tidy vineyards below and the expanse of Carmel Valley beyond. Imagine your event perched above nature’s paintbox, surrounded by birdsong and whispering oaks.

A sunshade and outdoor teak furniture turn this terrace into an attractive al fresco breakout meeting space outside the Redwood Ballroom. It’s perfect for brainstorming or bonding.

The Vintner Terrace elevates any event, with sweeping views of the vineyard and valley through a wind-protective glass wall just outside the Vintner Room. Consider this venue your flashback to childhood treehouses—but with a sophisticated air.
