Welcome to Carmelo Vineyards, a one-of-a-kind wedding destination in the heart of beautiful Carmel Valley. Surrounded by vineyard views, rolling hills, and rich California history, Carmelo Vineyards offers a romantic and unforgettable setting for your special day.

Nestled in Rancho Carmelo, our historic property dates back more than 100 years as California’s first dude ranch, where traditions of roping, riding, and fishing in the Carmel River first began. Today, that same storied setting provides a timeless backdrop for couples looking to celebrate their wedding in a truly memorable way.

Our unique venue features a charming vineyard gazebo for rehearsals and wedding ceremonies, with seating for up to 120 guests set among our Pinot Noir and Syrah vines. It is a picturesque and intimate space where nature, elegance, and vineyard charm come together.
