What People Are Saying

“Gathering ground is the most sacred piece of land in Carmel Valley. The owners of this property have created the most beautiful, peaceful space that felt like a movie. Forget the cliche wineries with goddy fake architecture and a stuffy feeling. This venue honors Mother Nature herself with timeless, simple beauty. The owners are responsive, gracious, and kind—they made the whole process easy and stress free. I almost don’t want to share this space because selfishly I want to keep it all to myself!! Anyone is lucky to get married here and you truly cannot find another venue quite as amazing as this one.”
