The courtyard of the Annadel ruins is a lush and romantic setting for a wedding ceremony or outdoor event. With thick stone walls over 12 feet high, the moon, the stars and the sky is yours. Surrounding the winery ruins are beautifully manicured lawns that stretch down to a newly planted vineyard. Your guests are invited to wander the lawns or adjacent carriage drive and courtyard bordered with majestic California heritage oaks several hundred years old. Annadel Estate Winery also offers a beautifully preserved barn naturally distressed by decades of Sonoma weather.
