Cline Family Cellars hosts corporate dinners, team-building afternoons, wine receptions, family celebrations and weddings on its farmhouse winery grounds in Sonoma, California. The outdoor venues take groups from 20 guests for a small ceremony up to 500 or more for a wedding on the Great Lawn. The winery stands on Arnold Drive, Highway 121, in the Sonoma Heartland.
Seminars and company events
The events team plans corporate events outdoors: a wine-focused afternoon with activities, a wine and food reception or a seated corporate dinner. The corporate offer is described for groups of up to 30 guests. Larger groups can book a wine tasting visit on the ranch, a casual format that leaves time to enjoy the grounds. The official site lists no indoor meeting room, projection equipment or plenary format, so this is a place for team days and dinners rather than a conference. Organizers with other needs can send their event details, and the team designs a custom format.
Weddings and receptions
The Great Lawn holds an outdoor ceremony and reception for as many as 600 guests, according to the wedding page. The Adobe Mission & Patio, surrounded by landscaped gardens, ponds and eucalyptus trees, suits ceremonies from 20 to 100 guests. Both are available from April to October. An elopement package uses the Adobe Mission & Patio for up to 40 guests, Sunday to Friday, April to October. It includes the venue, tables and chairs, a wine reception with passed hors d'oeuvres and a three-course dinner paired with Cline wines. The winery also hosts rehearsal dinners, welcome parties and post-wedding brunches. Pets are welcome at the celebration.
Rooms and capacities
All event spaces are outdoors. The Great Lawn is the largest, with 600 guests stated on the wedding page and 500 in the frequently asked questions. The Adobe Mission & Patio takes 20 to 100 guests. The Mission Arbor and the Cabana Lawn are used for brunches, lunches, casual dinners, showers and birthdays, and the site gives no capacity for them. Because spaces are open air, plan the season and the weather with the events team.
Accommodation
The winery manages a 6,000 square foot residence on the property with four bedrooms that sleeps 10. It has a pool, a hot tub, a full kitchen and a washer and dryer, which suits a family or a bridal party. There is no hotel on site, so larger groups need rooms elsewhere.
Catering
The elopement package includes passed hors d'oeuvres and a three-course dinner paired with Cline wines. Full bars are possible through San Francisco Cocktail Club, the partner the winery works with exclusively for permitting and approval of bars on the property. For dinners and receptions in other formats, the events team builds the menu with you.
History and setting
Cline is a family-owned winery in a farmhouse setting, with willow trees, landscaped gardens and spring-fed ponds around the event areas. The vineyards and the winery have been certified California Sustainable and Sonoma County Sustainable since 2018.
Getting there
The address is 24737 Arnold Drive, Highway 121, Sonoma, CA 95476. The tasting room is open every day from 11 am to 5 pm. The official site gives no public transport information, so plan road access or a hired vehicle.
