Visiting the Sonoma Grey Barn Farm was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to wine…read morecountry! Don was there to greet us as we arrived at the farm & was such an amazing host. He generously offered us everything from gardening gloves, to pruners & gave us some great tips on how to best cut the flowers growing on his farm. The property and gardens are so immaculate and well tended to, it simply a joy to be surrounded by such natural beauty. Our one hour on the farm flew by so quickly but we enjoyed every second we were there, despite the scorching heat wave that was sweeping through wine country that weekend. It is a stunning location to take photographs and the flowers we brought home with us lasted a really long time! We look forward to returning to this beautiful farm in the near future. Thank you Don for a very memorable visit!

Took my two kids to the most beautiful u-pick flower field today. Don was very helpful, providing…read moregloves, shears, a bucket, and plenty of tips on how to cut flowers and keep them fresh at home. He even made my son feel more at ease about the busy bees working hard in the field. There were so many flowers to choose from, it was easy to spend the whole hour walking the garden and picking your favorites. Be sure to bring your largest vase from home for easy transporting. I would definitely recommend this as a special outing, and we'll be back in the future!

We recommend to get there early if you do visit because it is street parking but if you enjoy walking then of course your fine. Many things for toddlers too, like petting the bunnies or even going inside the chicken enclosure. Don't forget to read all the animals names under the yellow question mark signs! You get to know their birthdays too!

We drove over an hour to visit your Araceli Farm lavender farm because we were looking forward to…read moretaking photos in the lavender fields. Unfortunately, when we arrived, the fields were poorly maintained, with a significant amount of weeds, making them unsuitable for photography and very different from what we expected. We did not take the tour because the condition of the property did not meet our expectations. We also waited for the manager to come speak with us, but no one ever came. Given our experience, we respectfully request a full refund for three people. We also believe visitors should not be charged while the fields are in this condition, as they do not provide the experience that is being advertised. Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to your response.

Walt from Walt's Adventures adventuring at the Menagerie Hill Ranch in Vacaville, California…read more Life can be interpreted as more fulfilling when filled with adventures. It is wise to step outside your environment and, in the case of this current venture, go visit an Alpaca farm. The Menagerie Hill ranch has beautiful animals. The host was awesome and knowledgeable. We increased our knowledge of the animals and of the farm but also got to feed them. We also had the opportunities to get close and personal with them for pictures. They were all friendly and fluffy. I recommend this unique experience for all because if you do not just break your usual pattern to stop and smell the roses or to pet and feed an Alpaca, life will pass by before you know it. Put your life on pause just for a few hours and go see the Alpacas. They would like to share peace with you. You can find them at the Menagerie Hill Ranch

This was a memorable trip. We were originally slated to visit in late June before my birthday but…read moreboth Deb and Kirk were recovering from surgery. We stayed in touch over the next several weeks before settling on an August date. We braved the high temps and winding roads to arrive at the ranch. It's a beautiful space on a hillside and you can see the herd and their guardian llama as you pull into the parking lot. We learned a lot about the alpaca life cycle, fed the boys, and my daughter got to hold and carry a cria. We bought two cute alpaca shaped soaps. I didn't experience any of the negativity others have complained about. It is a working ranch so it's not a petting zoo or a tourist attraction. Go with the flow and you'll have a great experience.

We could not have dreamed of a more perfect place to hold our wedding last May. It almost feels…read moreunreal that a place as beautiful as Garden Valley Ranch exists. The entire property is breathtaking and there is nothing better than the sight and smell of fresh roses everywhere! Our guests raved (and even a year out they're still dropping us compliments) about how gorgeous the Belvedere lawn area and Secret Garden were, which is where we held our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. The koi pond is a hidden gem that we loved doing our first look at. Working with Jessica made planning our vision for the day feel so easy. She is so kind, responsive, generous, and professional. She and the team had also worked with many of our other vendors who were local to the area, so we felt at ease knowing everything would go just as planned on such a busy day. Garden Valley Ranch is a stunning place and we cannot recommend it enough. Our wedding day flew by so fast and we wished we had gotten more time to enjoy this beautiful space!
