I love nothing more than a wedding ceremony that includes the fluffiest members of the family, and a lot of Napa & Sonoma feels the same. When couples say (often, a little timidly) that they plan to have their dogs involved in their wedding, my heart does a teensy invisible cartwheel.

I love working with dogs! And to make it easier on couples who are looking for dog-friendly venues, I’ve rounded up some of my favorites, listed in geographically from the Northwest to Southeast in case you would like to tour the following dog-friendly Napa Valley wedding venues in order:

Trentadue

We’ve done a number of weddings at Trentadue and absolutely love Chelsea, the event manager at Trentadue. This beautiful Geyserville location is located directly across from the Coppola winery in what I believe is one of the most breathtaking outer reaches of Napa Valley. Trentadue is also the one of the best values you can find in a Napa Valley venue, especially if you have a guest count of 150 - 250. We absolutely love Trentadue, their events team, and that your pup can be part of your big day.

Trentadue is one of the select properties where we offer Month-of-Wedding Planning, as well as exclusive pricing. Inquire here for more information!

DeLoach

We fell in love with Willow the pup at Zach & Nicole’s DeLoach wedding last year. Isn’t she so absolutely precious and adorable? DeLoach is located in Santa Rosa, and is an absolutely beautiful place for an intimate summer wedding. DeLoach is surrounded by vines, redwood trees, and gorgeous gardens. It’s best for weddings under 100.

Solage

Everything Auberge Resorts does is delicious and Solage captures the easy, nostalgic, luxe feeling of Napa Valley perfectly. You can rent a bike (with a basket) to visit shops and wineries and view the vineyards of Calistoga. Stay in a beautifully designed private bungalow and bring your dog along for your sweet wedding getaway. We absolutely love Yasmin, who handles event sales, and highly recommend booking your wedding at Solage for easy luxury and pet-friendly accommodations.

The Four Seasons

Set in the gorgeous area of Calistoga, The Four Seasons Napa Valley offers a rustic-meets-luxe barn experience that offers an easy-meets-elevated Napa wedding. You’ll be surrounded by vineyards, impeccable grounds, wonderfully attentive staff, delicious food, beautiful experiences, and lots of walking paths that your dog will love.

Charles Krug

Charles Krug is a stunning property that is one of the few venues in the Napa Valley area where you can host a very large group. Upstairs, the Carriage House seats up to 300 for dinner, and the Great Lawn can seat up to 800.

V. Sattui

V. Sattui is a Napa Valley classic! We love it for its Tuscan inspired feel, especially in the courtyard, where you can hold your ceremony, or dine al fresco under string lights. This property is best for groups of 150 or fewer (the Courtyard can host up to 135) but the Tower Lawn and Barrel Room can host up to 200 guests for ceremony, dinner, and dancing. Your puppy is gonna love it!

Kunde

If you have both a pup and a smaller guest count for your wedding, Kunde’s caves offer a very cool dining experience (literally, on a summer day, wine caves can be such a great way to beat the heat) but it’s also a great spot for a larger group if you plan on hosting an outdoor wedding for up to 200.

B.R. Cohn

This property will always have a special place in my heart! I planned one of my all-time favorite weddings here, and highly recommend B.R. Cohn for its beautiful views, expansive property, and wonderful events team.

MacArthur Place

MacArthur Place is one of our very favorite venues to work at! We absolutely love the events team, the easy-modern feel of MacArthur Place, the beautiful rooms, delicious onsite restaurant, the new pool and spa area, and that they’re dog-friendly!

MacArthur Place is one of the select properties where we offer Month-of-Wedding Planning, as well as exclusive pricing. Inquire here for more information!

Viansa

We love Viansa, and work there often! Viansa is managed by the same team who manages B.R. Cohn, and we just love working with them every single time. Both properties are beautiful, but Viansa offers more of Tuscan feel with gorgeous, sweeping views of Sonoma Valley that just can’t be beat. Viansa can host larger groups, but I’d recommend keeping your guest list under 200 (150 is more comfortable) to make sure you can use any of the available event spaces on the property. They book up super quickly, so make sure you plan well in advance!

Carneros

We love working here! Carneros offers a beautiful guest experience, especially for those staying on the property. With great dining options, beautiful cottages, a pool, spa, and lots to explore on-property, it’s a great place to get away. For couples getting married, you have great locations to choose from: Hilltop offers a dining room, beautiful views, and a large lawn area to host your entire wedding, or you can choose to host your wedding at The Arbor, Carneros Courtyard, Napa or Sonoma ballrooms, for guests counts up to 200. If you have a guest count under 50, you can dine in the culinary gardens at the gathering tables for a farm-to-table experience.

And there you have it! Some of my favorite dog-friendly venues in Napa Valley! We wish you and all your loved ones (including the fluffiest ones) the best wedding ever.

Heart,
Jen
