When we found Rancho Vino Nuevo, it was like stumbling upon a hidden paradise right in the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley. Lorri and her team orchestrated a wedding that was a perfect balance of rustic and classy. It's tucked away so you get privacy too.First off, the natural beauty of this place is just unreal. From the sweeping views of the mountains to the vineyards down below, the backdrop felt straight out of a postcard. My wife and I still get compliments on our wedding photos, which we had taken around the various focal points of the venue.Second, the service was top-notch. Lorri made sure the details were handled so we could focus on enjoying the day. She knew exactly what we needed before we even asked and was very thorough with all preparation leading up to the big day. Our guests even complimented us on her team's quality of service!Third, the venue is close by to everything. Solvang and wine tasting in Los Olivos are just a few minutes away. This was a great place to have a wedding because all our guests could make a weekend out of it, including visiting Santa Barbara and/or Los Alamos in addition to all the nearby options.From the cool wooden barn, to the mountains in the background, every moment at Rancho Vino Nuevo was memorable. I highly recommend this venue for anyone looking to have a wedding or event! Reviewed on 17-11-2023

Rancho Vino Nuevo's Staff were so professional and accommodating for our daughter's 40th birthday bash! The attention to detail from the catering and bakery recommendations, bartending services, floral arrangements, photographer, live music, set up of tables and chairs, decorations, restroom facilities and specially designed lighting . Lorri and her team took care of every detail to make this surprise party one of the most memorable events in our daughter's life! It was breathtaking to see the sunset views lighting up the mountains and vineyards below. The property is so beautiful and well lit for a night of celebration and merriment! There is a rustic authenticity as you view the historic barn and farmhouse facilities.I highly recommend the professional services of Rancho Vino Nuevo. Their experience of 20 years speaks for itself. Our guests were pampered with good service the whole evening!! Excited to see the newly constructed glass barn coming in early 2024. You can be sure that I will be booking my next event at Rancho Vino Nuevo and will be referring all my friends to Lorri Carleton and her team. Lori K Reviewed on 13-11-2023
