SSS Ranch Napa is one of the oldest ranches in Wine Country going back to an original Spanish land grant in the 1800’s.

Their objective was to make you feel as if you are in your own private village on a hilltop in France. Because we only rented the property exclusively, you have your own private resort perfect for a destination wedding weekend. The estate can sleep up to 60 of your guests onsite in the two historic Victorians houses and the 14 chic cabins. The iconic ranch sits on a western facing ridge top surrounded by old growth Redwood, Walnut, Live Oak and Douglas Fir trees. From this location you will experience the best sunsets in Napa Valley. Though the property is in a pristine environment it is only 4 miles from the historic town of Calistoga. At SSS Ranch you can have your rehearsal dinner Friday night, ceremony and reception Saturday night, and brunch Sunday morning.
