History

The Apricot Orchard was planted in 1913 and is still producing Apricots used in Peggy's specialty, Apricot French Toast. The home was built in 1927 for Harry and Minnie Peterson; Harry was one of the first businessmen in town. The historic house's interior ironwork was made by their friend Edward Trinkkeller, who also created ironwork at Hearst Castle. Peggy and Tom continue to use local artists and craftspersons to maintain their home. Depicting life from various time periods, they feature many historic items, including artifacts from the Colony Holding Company Blacksmith's shop, Stoltey's Malt shop, and other historic recreations.

Portola Inn is a lovely venue with so many location options - the oak tree ceremony location is stunning! The owners are a pleasure to work with and take pride in creating a stress-free day for their couples. Plus it's close to town so you don't have to worry about guests navigating the narrow winery roads late at night.
