Some places don’t just serve as a backdrop, they completely transport you. Sunstone Villa in California is one of those places. The estate feels more like the south of France than Southern California. It’s no surprise that it has become one of the most sought-after venues for couples planning a destination wedding experience within the U.S.


Tucked into California’s Santa Ynez Valley wine country, the venue combines:


  • Old-world European architecture
  • Expansive vineyard views
  • A private estate setting ideal for full wedding weekends


It’s a space that invites a slower pace, where couples and guests can fully settle in and experience the celebration, rather than simply attend it.
