What a special day getting to celebrate a special friend's wedding at Vine Hill House. As part of…read morethe bridal party, we spent the entire morning getting ready in the cottage on-site. The space was lovely and spacious. It had a full kitchen that allowed us to snack and stay hydrated throughout the morning. We were all able to gather in the area to have hair and make-up done, but there were also side rooms available for changing and getting ready. The cottage itself is lovely and create a picturesque backdrop for first look photos on the porch. The ceremony site felt intimate under the trees and the dinner area had a beautiful view of the vineyards. This special venue has such a great set up. As a guest, it was nice that everything was all on-site, but there were clear areas that helped designate the reception area from the ceremony turned dance floor. One cool feature was that the bride and groom utilized a side bar area next to the dance floor for a whiskey tasting lounge. It was a unique touch that made their wedding stand out! The venue owner, Dan, was HIGHLY involved throughout the day. He was highly attentive, but also highly present. Something to keep in mind if you'd prefer more behind the scenes vendors. What a joy getting to witness such special friends getting married in such a beautiful place!

I was SO close to having my wedding here…read more It is beautiful! Redwoods behind the ceremony site, vines growing over the reception area, a serene pond greets your guests. The couple that own this event site are very warm and personable. They want to understand your vision of your wedding and make that come to fruition for you. They, along with their team, do the catering and offer a wide selection of buffets and or plated meals. No outside vendors, although you may bring in your own hors d'ouvres and cake. The venue is totally outside. As a result they do not operate during the rainy seasons. They have a large parking area and a shuttle to take your guests to and from the ceremony/reception area. The prices are a true bargain for what you get. Because I didn't actually have my wedding here, I cant tell you about the food or the smoothness of the events. My husband and I did tour the facilities and were very impressed. It really was a close second.

I was impressed with the multitude of spaces available, the friendliness of the staff represented, and the acoustics, perfect for music. The location would be great for a dance or social, and effortlessly accommodated a huge crowd of multi-generational attendees. My only concern, and angst was the parking. We ended up leaving part way through to find dinner, and upon returning there was no parking anywhere, even on the street. This is a great problem to have, I think, because it proved the turnout and support of a community this dedicated, even in a small space. Regardless, we ended up parking 7 blocks down and walking, which proved to be a challenge once the event was over and was dark with no street lights. Overall quite the venue, and such a great asset to the City of Sebastopol!

The venue holds about 100 people & there isn't really a bad seat in the venue. I decided to opt for a front row seat & was able to sit on the floor on a cushion right by the stage. I love attending shows at smaller venues that add to a more intimate experience as opposed to bigger arena shows. The evening started w/ an evening raga by Ankush Vimawala on tabla & Will Marsh on sitar. I have been a fan of Jaya Lakshmi for a long time now & this was my first time seeing her live. She & Ananda complimented each other very well. The whole performance lasted three hours & was a great experience. The venue is a short drive from Amy's Drive Thru & would be a good dinner option to go to prior to a show here.

Our host Tome came by to greet us and welcomed us to the winery and brought us fresh popcorn to accompany our wines. He asked us which types of wine we liked and personalized our tasting experience accordingly. We tried a variety of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines and it really was truly one of the best wine experiences we have ever had in Napa. We also didn't feel pressured to buy anything or sign up for a wine club. The wine host staff just wanted us to have a good experience with them, which we truly did. We left with 3 bottles of wine, two for Christmas gifts and one for us. We truly want to thank the entire Lynmar Estate Winery staff for a great experience and we look forward to returning!
