Established in 1845, Rancho Guejito encompasses almost 23,000 acres (36 square miles) of citrus, avocados, vineyards, hay fields, and thousands of grass-fed cattle, making it one of the earliest and largest historic ranches in Southern California. The venue is a blank canvas outdoor space set within the vines, surrounded by sweeping mountain views and rustic ranch character. With lush private lawns for ceremonies, wine barrel cocktail areas, and a dedicated reception space, it offers an authentic vineyard and ranch experience. Beautiful bridal and groom suites and a full complement of tables, chairs, and furnishings are included in the rental.
