    There is nothing more romantic than a wedding in the wine country, but Covid-19 has uprooted so much in our lives, especially those very special occasions that we have planned and looked forward to for so many months.

As a result, we are offering two micro wedding packages for those who are only interested in the ceremony and want to schedule the reception for a later date. A wedding in the wine country is without a doubt the most romantic event you can attend. With the help of some of Sonoma County's most sought-after vendors, The Gables Wine Country Inn has put together a simple, elegant wedding celebration package for you. A complete buyout of the Inn, as well as the addition of seven additional guest rooms, is required.
