The Genevieve in Santa Ynez, open JuneSeptember.

The Genevieve is a restored hotel set in the vineyard country of Santa Ynez, California, with 20 guest rooms and an elegant, indoor-outdoor approach to weddings.

The meeting and banquet space seats 150 for a ceremony or a seated dinner and holds up to 200 standing, with outdoor ceremonies possible on site and in-house catering handled by the venue.

Full buyouts are available, so couples can take over all 20 rooms across categories that range from Classic King Rooms for two to Premium Double Queen Suites sleeping four.

Parking is on site, and the property sits roughly 45 minutes from Santa Barbara Airport (SBA) by our estimate.

We can't wait to come back! We highly recommend this lovely place. The staff are all so kind and helpful. The beds are so comfortable. Loved the music that plays in the rooms and the tub! It was very peaceful and felt like an extension of home, but better! The wine and cheese tasting is a very nice touch and the breakfast is so quaint and delicious.
