We were invited by Villa La Brenta for an overnight stay and indepth discussions with the owner and director of marketing. This is a brand new venue less than 2 hours from downtown Sacramento, but upon arrival, the feel is of a far-away European countryside.
The villa design was inspired by Italian architect Andrea Palladio and is in stunning contrast as it sits amongst acres of wine grapes. The front of the estate is landscaped with lavender and box hedges. On the 'back side," outstanding views abound and one can get lost in thought gazing out at the coastal mountain range and rows of grapes while sitting on one of the terraces or poolside.
Weddings can take place within the vineyard, with poolside wine and socializing, followed by a seated dinner on the terrace, and the night ending with dancing in the gazebo under the stars. Can it get any better?
Headcount for this property is best suited for 75 to 100, although a strolling reception could take more guests. At this time, the villa has two or three rooms for specially arranged overnight accommodations for the bridesmaids (the night before) and for the newlyweds (wedding night) but in the future, plans for expanding are on the drawingboard. Future posts will provide information on the next property we visited - Ceago Vinegarten on Clear Lake.
