SO awesome to go wine tasting without leaving city limits! This complex of urban tasting rooms in…read moreSanta Rosa is a great way to enjoy the perks of wine country, without making the drive. Yes, it's lovely to visit the postcard-perfect wineries surrounded by real live vines, but when a trip to the country isn't realistic, you can pay a visit to Vintner's Square and taste the same heavenly juice from multiple wineries in an ultra-casual setting. Luckily, my best friend lives down the street so we don't even need a designated driver. Perks! MJ Lords, Sheldon, and Krutz share a nice space with full barrels lining the walls, while D'Argenzio has their own tasting room (and cafe?) next door. It's not uncommon for the winemaker to be hanging around, and it's amazing how much you can learn while drinking with the boss! The coolest part is knowing these are small production wines, typically less than 100 cases each. So if you fall in love with a certain bottle, you can take it home knowing it's truly a work of hand-man art. Luscious, liquid craftsmanship at it's best. How can you say no to that? On Thursday nights the complex transforms into a miniature block party with "happy hour" specials, live music, and a taco truck. Mark your calendar!

The Club provides chairs and tables, has a sizeable kitchen if one needs that. A good place to book for a party of 100-125 people. After 6 pm the street outside is relatively quiet hence plenty of street parking available. If your party is starting earlier there's also a Parking Garage close by.

What an incredible summer! My 13 yr old niece went to Resident Camp this summer and had the time of…read moreher life! She has never done a sleep away camp before and she was VERY nervous about spending time away from her family. (And her freeking phone.) The staff there did such a great job calming her nerves and tackling her fears. She sent us a letter telling us she didn't ever want to leave. I have never heard someone talk about a zip line so much. Her counselor Reef was fantastic. We can't wait to sign her up for next summer! Thank you for teaching her there are much better things in this world than spending all your time on your phone. She will walk into middle school this year with a bold new outlook and camp friends too.

I didn't feel comfortable with this arrangement and am glad I didn't sign my daughter up for sleep-away camp. She enjoyed the day camp but the staff seemed more concerned with protecting themselves rather than allowing parents to protect their children. I was expecting some nice local horse riding girls to mentor her and instead had to leave her with boys who wouldn't tell me their names. She won't be back.

We recently held my daughter's quinceañera at Ellington Hall, and I can honestly say it was worth…read moreevery single penny. First of all, renting this hall in the winter was absolutely the right decision. The space is beautiful, spacious, and perfectly maintained, and our guests were comfortable the entire time. The event ran from 4:00 PM to 11:00 PM, and everything flowed seamlessly from start to finish. One of the best decisions we made was paying for the kids' room. It was completely worth it. The kids absolutely loved having their own space and, honestly, they barely left it the entire night! It allowed them to have fun in their own way while the adults enjoyed the celebration. I would highly recommend adding this option. We also chose to pay for the extra services, including serving and busing, and I am so glad we did. The staff was attentive, professional, and incredibly efficient. There were a few small things that happened during the event -- like a plate of food that was accidentally spilled on the floor -- and it was cleaned up so quickly that we didn't even realize it had happened until after the event. That level of attention to detail made such a difference. David does an amazing job managing everything. He handled the timeline so smoothly that I was truly able to be present and enjoy my daughter's special day instead of worrying about logistics. That alone was priceless. His crew even helped us pack up all the linens we brought at the end of the night, which saved us so much time and energy. Another highlight was the covered outdoor space, which gave guests even more room to gather and enjoy the evening. The lighting inside the hall was stunning -- they were able to match the wall lighting perfectly to our color theme, which made everything look cohesive and beautiful. Every single person commented on how amazing the event was and how much they loved the venue. It truly was an unforgettable night, and Ellington Hall played a huge role in that. I would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone planning a special event. It was organized, beautiful, well-managed, and completely worth the investment.

I was struggling finding a person to do the decor due to the small scale and the specific needs we had. Over the email she was so honest and told me she would not be the right fit but took the time to talk to me and helped me to figure out what exactly I should be asking for and also gave me the option that she would help me if nothing else worked out. This is the most assuring thing anyone can say. Nicki connected me to other folks who were able to help me out. Nicki is genuinely interested in making events happen and it is her true passion that she helps you find the right people even if she has no monetary benefit from it. So please go and always hire Nicki. Thank you Nicki.

A variety of seating is available, around a big table, smaller tables, couches, etc. Good lighting, good placement of power outlets, and I never had any issues with the WiFi, which was easy to get onto. Parking around the area has to be paid for, but it's not expensive, and there seems to be a lot of parking lots and street parking nearby. The space manager/receptionist was very attentive and articulate, handled stuff efficiently without fuss. I was there on a partial holiday day so the people were sparse; not sure what the usual vibe is like. Bathrooms: 1 mens and 1 women's and then a single-occupancy all-gender one.
