Experience Old World Romance at the Sunstone Villa

Welcome to the Sunstone Villa, an exquisite venue that promises a wedding day as timeless and unique as your love story. Nestled amidst the picturesque Santa Ynez Mountains, where the golden sun meets the rolling vineyards, and inspired by the old-world elegance of a European estate, the Sunstone Villa offers an idyllic setting for the beginning of your forever.

Unveiling a Timeless Treasure

The Sunstone Villa stands as a testament to exquisite craftsmanship, with its limestone façade salvaged from the storied chateaus of Aix Provence, Normandy, and the Loire Valley. Crafted over five meticulous years, the Villa bears the mark of authenticity, curated by founders Fred and Linda Rice during their voyages across rural France. With traditional French masons painstakingly recreating the magic of bygone eras, and wood beams and roof tiles reclaimed from a 19th-century lavender factory in Avignon, every corner exudes an air of authenticity and elegance.

Your Dream Wedding Unfolds

The exterior spaces surrounding the Villa are nothing short of enchanting. Picture-perfect vineyard vistas, among breathtaking olive and oak trees, provide the backdrop for your ceremony, while the Villa’s extraordinary architecture sets the stage for an unforgettable celebration. From intimate moments to grand gestures, every aspect of your wedding – from the cocktail hour to the reception – is imbued with the spirit of romance and luxury.
