About
Where history meets contemporary amenities. Surrounded by lush gardens and located within walking distance of Sonoma’s Plaza, our 1864 Victorian estate was once the home of General Vallejo’s daughter and her husband, the founder of California’s first winery. With charming architecture, a central location, exclusive farm-to-fork catering, and exceptional hospitality, The General’s Daughter is an iconic indoor/ outdoor venue for weddings and events.
The beautiful, historic house is surrounded by lush gardens and fruit trees, creating an ideal setting for a picturesque outdoor wedding ceremony as you pledge your love beneath the lovely, vine-covered arbor. The sprawling East Patio, with a beautiful stone fireplace, is ideal for your cocktail hour. The wisteria covered West Patio offers a shaded location for larger ceremonies or dinner receptions.
Step inside the interior and you are greeted with a large, circular staircase and vintage bar restored to its original beauty, adjacent to an intimate dining room. Get ready in our newly renovated private bridal suit.
Whether your party is large or small, you and your guests will feast on creative dishes from Folktable Catering that showcase the best of what Sonoma has to offer.
