Stunningly gorgeous!!! Recently the Venue Vixens were conducting site inspections in lovely Lake County. After leaving our overnight accommodations at Villa La Brenta we drove to the Northern shores of Clear Lake to meet Carleen the Dir. of Hospitality at Ceago Vinegarten. And was she ever hospitable! A fantastic display of artisan cheeses, dried fruits and honeycomb awaited us as we sampled tastings of Estate Grown wine.
The fields of lavender (in June the above field is a sight to behold!), olive, fig and walnut orchards add to this Spanish/Mediterranean slice of heaven.
Tiled roofed hacienda design, heavy Spanish furnishings and lovely courtyards cornered by sturdy towers are perfect for gatherings or wedding receptions. Interesting, unique and very cool details are everywhere. I was captivated!

My shot of the Grand Pomo Room did not turn out. The picture below is from their website. It is a fantastically dark, rich, handsome room for dinner receptions - and has a huge fireplace at one end . The one photo I am including is of the huge bar area. My mouth dropped when the massive wood doors opened into this room.

Ceago is an organic, Biodynamic winery and farm...which means they cultivate quality grapes without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers (but there is so much more involved to this concept)! The developer and property owner of Ceago is Jim Fetzer, past President of Fetzer Vineyards.
Note to self... the Venue Vixens must take along a professional photographer when we do these site inspections! I'll post more photos in the next couple of days with lots of wonderful details.
