We are romantics at heart who delight in collaborating with each couple to create an intimate wedding that reflects your vision and the details that matter most.
Our attention to detail and highly personalized approach entices with a modern and classic take on wine country charm, along with breathtaking 360-degree views of west Sonoma County. Whether you are exchanging vows on our great lawn or dining al fresco in the vineyards, you will find yourself surrounded by natural beauty and tranquility. Our estate boasts world-class vineyards, a great lawn with gardens, views of Mt. Saint Helena, and a charming European patio terrace with a fountain + waterfall. All three locations are versatile and can be used interchangeably for your ceremony, dinner, cocktail hour + reception.
We are a green venue committed to sustainability, non-discrimination, racial and gender equality, and a REALLY GOOD TIME. Our promise to you is a memorable and positive experience from start to finish.
At the Monroe Estate, your wedding will be as unique as you are.
“In 1985, we purchased land that consisted of 2.75 acres, a small house and an abundance of weeds.
Over the last 30 years, we’ve transformed the land to a luxury estate featuring a boutique vineyard, ranch style home, wrap around redwood deck, a sandstone patio terrace and limestone fountain. The grapes from our boutique Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vineyard are sold to local winemakers in Sonoma County.
Our sons, Nathaniel + Jonathon, landscaped the entire property over the last year featuring ornamental flowers for all seasons, beautiful trees and succulents that overlook a breathtaking view of Mt. Saint Helena. Our property holds a special place in our heart, and we cannot wait to share it with you.”
