About

On WeddingWire since 2008

Holmen Ranch is a historic wedding venue in Carmel Valley, California, where guests will feel at home from the moment they drive through the gates. Unlike most properties in the area, Holman Ranch begins at 500 feet below sea level and extends to over 2000 feet in elevation. This unique panoramic setting is a videographer and photographer’s dream. This rustic and sophisticated venue offers the charm of roaming wildlife and the magic of acres of vineyards winding through the valley hills. Its tranquility is another unique aspect, allowing couples and their loved ones to celebrate in style, comfort, and seclusion.

Facilities and Capacity

Holman Ranch is a 750-acre private estate, so there is an extensive selection of both natural and historic settings to fit the mood of a beautiful wedding. The intimate stone terraces and spacious lawns combine to host gatherings of all sizes, up to 300. The events team hosts only one event at a time to give every wedding party exclusive access to the historic hacienda, secluded lawn, and guest rooms.

Services Offered

Holman Ranch is a boutique winery that produces some of the region’s best pinot noir and chardonnay. The state-of-the-art wine cave allows couples and their loved ones the chance for unique tasting experiences and offers an alternate venue for cocktail hours and seated dinners. The unique beauty of Holman Ranch is something to behold, so feel free to contact the events team today to find out more.

Exceptional & Unforgettable Wedding Weekend

We were married at Holman Ranch this past May and had our rehearsal dinner / welcome reception at the Tasting Room. The staff and event team at Holman made us feel like family since day one of planning & went above and beyond every step of the way to make our event a success. The service and attention given to us, not only in the days leading up to the wedding weekend, but since the day we booked the venue exceeded every expectation we had. We booked the venue for a long weekend (Thursday-Sunday) and cannot recommend it enough as a place to relax & spend quality time with all of our loved ones. Our family and friends are still raving about how special, beautiful, and memorable the weekend was! Look no further - this venue is truly a one-of-a-kind place that you can cherish & revisit for years to come.

A touch of WOW!

A simple but appropriate WOW will do -- Holman Ranch exceeded our expectations as the venue of our dreams. The staff was incredibly professional, every view at this venue was heavenly, and all we (and our guests) were stunned at how wonderful our day was at Holman Ranch. Thanks to the extraordinary team for sticking with us through two years and two postponements!

Simply perfect!

Absolutely stunning venue! The entire Holman staff and coordinators were amazing and super responsive to all questions and emails. Victoria was so great to work with and helped ensure our big day was absolutely perfect. The onsite rooms and facilities were top notch and it was great to be able to stay onsite (bridal party included) the whole weekend. Everything from the getting ready rooms (the bridal suite was GORGEOUS) and the kitchen were well used by our group. We could not have asked for a more convenient or beautiful venue for our wedding!
