I needed to be in Carnation for a quick meet-up, and I decided to plan a day of activities visiting…read morethe area - Carnation Farms (and Remlinger Farms). Arriving at Carnation Farms, not knowing what exactly might be there, I was firstly surprised to see the classic "Carnation Farms" logo with the exact font type and the carnation flower on the cans of evaporated milk that I have seen my entire life. Wait a minute, is this THE "Carnation Farms"? Well, yes, but also a no, but also a yes. LOL. I ended up reading the historical signs and chatting with the cashier for a while (there were no other customers - zero). Carnation was indeed the dairy farm that made the now world-famous evaporated milk, created in 1899. The business grew and thrived so well that the community of Tolt was renamed to Carnation in 1917 although the name changed back and forth two more times before it stayed with Carnation. In downtown Carnation, many businesses are still named Tolt, including the Tolt River. In 1985, Nestle brought the Carnation company. In 2016, the original Stuart family purchased the name "Carnation Farms" back from Nestle. The name rights exclude diary, but they have animals and is now a venue, amongst other business ventures. We missed a local market that was on the previous day. Today, this sleepy business sells many locally made products and hosts community events such as the local market. Limited bundles of produce represented the 'farm' name poorly, if I am being honest. I asked the cashier which products in the store are actually from the current farm. She pointed to the freezer case. I chose a frozen curry goat soup from the case. It was passable, more soup than goat, i.e. not much meat. If you want to visit, check their calendar of events and go for a museum tour or one of their many events. The shop itself is less interesting.

We have our wedding here July 2026. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, and the food was…read moreexcellent. Our bartenders, servers, and other day-of staff were also wonderful and made a real effort to take care of us. Unfortunately, the overall experience fell short of what we expected from a wedding venue at this price point. Our biggest concern was that the venue seems to be trying to accommodate both its golf-club members and wedding parties at the same time, and throughout our wedding day, it often felt like the wedding was secondary to the members. We completely understand that this is a private club and there are separate spaces for members. However, despite paying a significant amount to host our wedding there, The overall tone of rules and directions made us feel like we had to walk on eggshells and hide from members, rather than feeling welcomed and celebrated. All the members we encountered were lovely and happy for us. On the day of our wedding (end of July), two large metal bleachers were being set up directly behind the ceremony/photo area for the Boeing Classic(takes place mid August), partially obstructing the view behind the arch- the main reason we chose this venue in the first place. The structure was clearly not put up overnight and was not communicated to us. It was put up earlier than expected, but wasn't brought up until the day of the wedding, after we mentioned it. There were no apologies or attempts to right the situation sadly. At minimum, we would have appreciated the opportunity to discuss the situation or receive some accommodation. Several members of our party and our day-of coordinator had to rearrange seating to try to minimize the obstruction, with push back from their staff, but the structure is still visible in a majority of our photos. Overall, this is a beautiful venue with excellent food and some truly wonderful staff. However, our experience left us feeling that the venue is trying to have the best of both worlds -- maintaining the experience and priorities of a private golf club while also hosting weddings -- without always giving wedding couples the level respect, hospitality, and communication expected, even though we too are paying a significant amount. For couples considering this venue, I would temper expectations around hospitality and prioritization of weddings over members. I would also caution booking around Boeing classic weekend if you are looking mid to end of July. When we brought these concerns kindly to management, we have been met with weeks of follow up to get a response. A phone call was returned to my sister in law and all our points were refuted without hospitality, apologies, or kindness. The couple has attempted to connect with the manager, as he promised, with weeks of follow up and no response. I wanted to give them a fair chance to right wrongs before posting this. I'd likely have chosen a different venue after this experience.

This enchanting property boasts a charming patio with spacious seating, a serene pond, and lush gardens, all set amidst beautifully landscaped grounds that are home to delightful goats and alpacas, creating a truly magical experience. Its idyllic location makes for a truly fantastic experience, one that will leave you feeling uplifted and inspired. To indulge in a wine tasting, reservations are an absolute must. Our selection of five wines, which included a rose with remarkable depth and flavor, two crisp whites, a blended red and a rich red, were all expertly crafted and presented in elegant glasses bearing the winery's name, a testament to exceptional craftsmanship. The charcuterie tray was generously portioned for four people to savor, delighting our senses. What truly elevated our experience was the staff's profound knowledge and passion for the wines and the property's rich history, a true labor of love. We highly recommend visiting Chateau Lill for an unforgettable tasting experience, a leisurely stroll around the grounds, and a rejuvenating escape that will leave you feeling refreshed and renewed. Parking is plenty up the hill on the property.

First and foremost if you are familiar with DeLille wines, don't confuse that with this! There's…read morecommonality but that's it. This is a fun spot for outdoor tasting on a nice day and the Château is a very popular event venue; weddings in particular. The selection of wines are "collaborations" with local wine makers especially Sparkman and Gorman. So, you won't be served a DeLille wine. If you recognize these names you know the wines are good. A little pricey in my mind but that's subjective. I really enjoyed our two servers who were knowledgeable about the wines, of course but also the aspects of the collaborations. And, they didn't hesitate to offer suggestions when we asked about other wineries and tasting rooms we might visit. Why 4 stars instead of 5? Simply because the outdoor tasting facility is rather unrefined (graveled patio, temporary serving station/wine bar and trailer restrooms) due to the fact that it is under construction. I am not qualified to rate the wines.

They answered all of our questions, reassured us, and provided so so much help leading up to the wedding day. Our guests RAVED about the venue! The nature and landscaping is so well taken care of that there was hardly a need to decorate. The tent with twinkle lights was the cherry on top, making it a truly magical night. The bridal and groom suite were well suited for our needs, plenty of room for the hair and makeup artist, and the bridal suite also came with an industrial steamer! Parking is a little limited for the venue, but really not too bad. Far enough from the city that there was no car sounds. Even though I can't provide a lot of photos because we only had our wedding a week ago since writing this, trust that it is beautiful and GET MARRIED HERE!!! I only wish they sold some kind of ornament so we could have a keepsake of this gorgeous location! QUICK PROS: tables and all chairs are provided for, rehearsal dinner space provided (1 hour), ability to add on more hours if needed, free to decorate as long as no lasting marks are used, tent provided with venue, responsive and helpful team, clean venue (truly every part was photographable) And quick shoutout to my photographer: @/jelenarowden.photo
