Beaulieu Garden

Rutherford, CA

Historic Estates & Mansions

400 guest capacity

Some venues feel less like event spaces and more like private worlds, and Beaulieu Garden carries that rare sense of escape from the moment guests arrive beneath its sycamore-lined drive. Manicured lawns, vine-covered arbors, and Italian-inspired gardens unfold across the estate with a quiet grandeur that feels both refined and deeply personal.

Throughout the grounds, reflecting pools, stone fountains, and sculpted hedges create a layered landscape designed for lingering celebrations beneath the open sky. The sunken garden offers an intimate setting framed by roses and boxwood, while the long sycamore arbor transforms beautifully for candlelit dinners beneath chandeliers and hanging florals. As evening settles in, soft lighting glows across the gardens and poolside lawns, creating an atmosphere that feels cinematic and effortlessly romantic.

With its blend of European elegance and Napa Valley beauty, Beaulieu Garden offers a setting where every celebration feels immersive, timeless, and entirely unforgettable.

Style long king’s tables beneath the sycamore canopy for a romantic European inspired dinner, or layer lounges, banquettes, and bistro seating across the lawns and terraces for a relaxed garden party atmosphere. Highlight the estate’s fountains, statuary, and old world landscaping with lush florals, candlelit pathways, and overflowing greenery woven naturally through the grounds.
