Dawn Ranch

Nestled riverside at the edge of Guerneville in Sonoma's wine-rich Russian River Valley, Dawn Ranch is a meeting of nature and luxury. Our cottage-style hotel and event venue offers an authentic, historic, and unique Sonoma wine country escape among 22 acres of ancient giant redwoods, native meadows, and vintage apple trees. With room for up to 500 people for wedding ceremonies and up to 184 overnight guests in our cabins and cottages, we allow you to experience a unique ceremony. Set the scene amid ancient redwoods, in a 120-year-old orchard, on a pristine meadow, inside our garden, or in our historic lodge and boathouse. Each venue has its own unique character. The boughs of the orchard’s fruit trees encircle a ceremony and bring a magical sense of intimacy. The giant redwoods in the meadow overlook guests and impart a grand sense of the grandeur of this natural environment. Relax and enjoy these beautiful surroundings, while our dedicated staff ensure you and your party experience a joyful, stress-free series of events. Dawn Ranch is Green Key Global Eco Rated at 4 Keys (virtual audit completed and verified in 2025). Our program is audited by Control Union and recognized across corporate procurement channels.
