The architecture and decor is Spanish/Mediterranean and there are so many wonderful accent pieces and design elements. The balconies overlooking the reception courtyards are lined with bright Geranium plants. Weathered window shutters, and massive wood doors are everywhere. 
Many quads and courtyards have focal fountains. This sweet one is on an adobe wall in an inner patio and once the climbing rose bush blooms, it will be even more beautiful.
Decorative tiles accent stairwells and many other focal spots. The design with the triangular dots is Ceago's iconic symbol. It's a design from the Milk Snake - another reference to Pomo Indian life.
Check it out! These cool chairs are make from wine barrels. Fantastic!
When entering the property you'll pass by a pasture with walnut orchards and sheep grazing. A darling hen house is off to the side of the pasture. In addition to the organic winery operation, they use Biodynamic farming techniques as well. 
The Venue Vixens had a wonderful time touring Ceago Vinegarden and are considering a return trip to stay in their three Casitas located along the lake's edge. That way we can totally immerse ourselves in the experience. Heaven! Brides and grooms... this is a must see for a wedding venue (call me, let's discuss!!)
Quinn (center above) and all the tartan clad groomsmen joined me in a pose, and showed off their footwear.
Hummmmm, do you wonder what is worn under the kilt? Courtney appears to be trying to answer that question!
I'll post a few more detail shots tomorrow, in Part 2.
Carnival food was served - tray passed mini hamburgers and vegie sticks in ranch dip (the vegies were an attempt to be somewhat healthy since the buffet included corn dogs, mac & cheese, mozzarella sticks and four styles of French fries) Lordy, Lordy!
And what carnival doesn't serve popcorn? We set up 5 containers each containing a different flavor. Believe it or not, the favorite might have been the cheddar cheese flavor!
