~An Intimate Estate in Humboldt County for a Celebration That Feels Uniquely Yours~

Wine Cellar Moment with Bride and Groom

“This venue is absolutely breathtaking and truly one of the most stunning wedding venues in Humboldt County. We loved the versatility of the layout, which gave us several gorgeous ceremony location options to choose from.

The grounds are maintained to the highest standard, and our guests were in awe of all the thoughtful details throughout the property. We had the time of our lives and were treated so thoughtfully by the venue hosts, who even planned a special moment for us during cocktail hour while our guests mingled.

The location is perfect, just a short walk from the historic Benbow Inn, making it incredibly convenient for guests. We highly recommend this beautiful venue to anyone planning their wedding day!”
