When planning a holiday party, quinceanera, bar mitzvah or wine tasting event, the Chardonnay Golf Club can assist you with every aspect of the planning and execution of your event, down to the smallest detail. Allow our friendly and skilled staff to demonstrate how simple and enjoyable event planning can be. On the grounds of the Chardonnay Golf Club & Vineyards, we have witnessed hundreds of weddings, many of which were held on our property. Each and every wedding that takes place at the Chardonnay Golf Club & Vineyards is a memorable occasion for both us and the couples that tie the knot here. In the heart of the "Napa Valley," the Chardonnay Golf Club is the ideal "Napa Valley" setting for a memorable, beautiful wedding. The club has two wedding sites, each with its own distinct and compelling appeal, making it the ideal "Napa Valley" place for a memorable, elegant wedding. Despite the fact that our wedding facilities are surrounded by more than 150 acres of vineyards and a gorgeous golf course, they do not have what most facilities do - houses. At Chardonnay, all you can see is the splendor of nature, including lengthy panoramas and breathtaking sunsets, and nothing else. In order to accommodate events with 100 to 400 guests, we have a selection of venues that can accommodate your needs flawlessly. In addition to our venues, our Catering Team, which is overseen by an incredible Executive Chef, will provide you with the food you desire while maintaining a high level of service. We received a positive comment from a recent bride, who stated, "If the food at Chardonnay was the standard for weddings, we wouldn't be able to complain about wedding meals."

    Empire Mine State Historic Park is a 856-acre California state park in Grass Valley, situated in the Sierra Nevada foothills approximately 24 miles north of Auburn on Highway 49. The park preserves one of the oldest, deepest, and richest gold mines in California — a site that operated for more than 100 years and yielded 5.8 million ounces of gold before closing in 1956. At the heart of the park stands the historic Bourn Cottage, the former summer residence of the mine's owner, surrounded by restored English-style gardens with fountains, stately trees, and meticulously maintained grounds. The cottage and its gardens serve as the setting for small, intimate wedding ceremonies, accommodating up to 25 guests in an atmosphere of preserved history and natural beauty. The park's event offerings are intentionally minimal to honor its historic character: ceremonies take place outdoors on Fridays and Saturdays from May through early October, with no receptions permitted. In addition to its event space, the park features a visitor center, guided estate and garden tours, and 14 miles of trails open to hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding.

    Darioush

    4240 Silverado Trail, Napa, CA 94558, USA

    The story of Darioush began centuries ago, in the seat of winemaking culture. It culminates here and now - a new intersection of winecraft, extraordinary arts, time-honored customs grounded in an authentic tradition of graciousness. Darioush is a story of the harmonious blending of traditions - a culture of graciousness and thoughtfulness and one rooted in the ideals of individualism and opportunity. Nowhere is the connection between wine and culture more evident than in the history of Persia. Discoveries dating to 5,000 B.C. in the Zagros Mountains of Northern Iran show that winemaking emerged as permanent communities replaced nomadic life and a new age of wine culture began. The history of wine accompanies the very concept of hospitality, inspiring art, poetry, culture, and winecraft for millennia to come. Darioush Khaledi was instilled at an early age with the winemaking craft of his father, inspired by wine culture in the literary city of Shiraz - in modern day Iran - and the ancient city of Persepolis. He became a lifelong collector, seeking out old-world wines infused with tradition and energized by modern technique. Aspiring to the ideals of the American dream, Darioush immigrated to America to seek out opportunities others overlooked. He was an entrepreneur determined to realize his dream, yet always eager to share his journey through his love of wine borne of rich heritage. In 1997, he and his wife Shahpar founded Darioush and began to realize a lifelong aspiration to share the art, architecture, wine, craftsmanship, and culture that inspired their journey. In the late 1990's Darioush and winemaker Steve Devitt made an unorthodox choice, to commit to Southern Napa Valley - choosing its cooler microclimates to develop their unique style. While the focus was in the north, he was headed south. Seeking opportunities others overlooked, Darioush and Steve focused intently on site selection and cooler microclimates in Southern Napa Valley; high atop Mount Veeder and the maritime-influenced Valley floor. Replanting where necessary to unlock the full potential of both the vineyard and wine grape cultivated from it. They committed to a Bordeaux-style of winemaking - a blended style they long admired for the potential to truly express a wine's character. Now these years later, the Darioush estate comprises 120 acres in Southern Napa Valley spanning the Mount Veeder and Oak Knoll AVA's. They believe truly unique wines reflect great vineyards, but also the character of the people behind them. This spirit finds its home in a vineyard estate, an environment of warmth and hospitality.
