Why Couples Choose The Highlands Estate

Six Reasons This Setting Stands Apart

Scenic Beauty & Natural Charm

Lush vineyards, majestic oak trees, and panoramic views of the surrounding hills create a magical atmosphere — ensuring every moment, from the exchange of vows to the wedding photos, is imbued with a sense of romance and place.

Privacy & Exclusivity

The property is fully gated and available for exclusive use. Set back nearly 1,000 feet from any public roadway, couples and their guests have the entire venue to themselves — free from distractions and interruptions.

Ideal Northern California Climate

Northern California wine country is renowned for its mild, pleasant conditions — warm, sunny days and cool evenings, perfect for outdoor celebrations. Read more about weather at The Highlands Estate.

Exceptional Photo Opportunities

The estate's diverse landscapes — vineyards, oak trees, rolling hills, a tranquil pond — offer a variety of backdrops for stunning wedding photography. "Kermit," our ADA golf cart, takes couples and their photographer to the best locations efficiently.

On-Site Accommodations

Weekend packages include on-site lodging for up to 22 guests at the Estate — allowing couples and their families to arrive Friday, celebrate Saturday, and linger over Sunday morning without the rush of driving home the same night.

Premium Inclusions

Farm tables, ceremony benches, market lighting, sound systems, fire pit, electric shuttle, and two dressing suites are all included — saving couples thousands compared to venues that require separate rentals. See the full amenities list.
Sustainable by Nature

A Working Vineyard
in a Designated Wine
Appellation

The Highlands Estate sits within the Yorkville Highlands American Viticultural Area — a federally designated wine-growing region in Mendocino County. Three acres of producing Syrah vines surround the property, farmed and harvested each season.

For couples who are environmentally conscious, the estate is committed to sustainable practices — energy-efficient lighting, thoughtful land stewardship, and an eco-friendly electric shuttle for guest transport across the property.

The estate's proximity to Northern California's wine country also offers additional experiences for guests: nearby wineries, charming towns, and outdoor activities throughout the Cloverdale and Healdsburg areas. See local activities for wedding weekend guests.
