Beyond weddings

The estate is yours, whatever you are celebrating

The same things that make the villa a beloved wedding venue make it an unforgettable place for any gathering: total privacy, panoramic mountain views, and hosts who treat your event like our own. Our photo gallery shows the grounds from every angle.

Corporate retreats

Trade the conference room for a hillside. Offsites, leadership retreats, and team days with room to think and a view that resets everyone's attention.

Milestone celebrations

Big birthdays, anniversaries, vow renewals, and graduations. The kind of milestone that deserves a long table and a sunset.

Private parties

From elegant dinners to dancing under the stars, the estate handles quiet and loud equally well. One event at a time, always.

Food & drink

Catering that earns the view

From paella stations and mezze spreads to plated chef dinners, we work with caterers who cook beautifully outdoors and serve through a sunset rush without missing a beat.

Tell us the occasion and the appetite, and we will help you shape the menu around it.

Practical and close

Easy to reach, hard to leave

The estate sits in the hills of Jamul, 30 minutes from downtown San Diego and 17 miles from San Diego International Airport, beside the San Diego National Wildlife Refuge.

Your guests arrive without a trek, then feel a world away the moment the gates close. Event pricing varies by day, season, and format, and we share it on your tour or by inquiry.

Tell us what you are planning

Walk the estate with us and we will figure out the rest together. Tours are free, personal, and easy to book.
