The staff at Beltane Ranch has the concepts of customer service perfectly dialed in.|We stayed one Saturday night in the cottage and didn't want to leave. The location in Glenn Ellen is perfect for visiting the wineries of Glenn Ellen and Kenwood. We were greeted at our car door by the Ranch Dog (Hank??) who accompanied us later on as we explored the Ranch. Brian checked us in, gave us a tour of the property, and later hosted our outdoor tasting of the Beltane Estate Wines - he was knowledgable and personable and on top of every detail for us. We purchased bottles of Rose and 3 different Sauv Blancs. We added the Charcuterie plate to the tasting, prepared by Chef Neil, delicious and so filling we cancelled dinner plans, stayed in and enjoyed the property!|Our Sunday morning breakfast served by Angie on the patio outside our cottage was delicious. Scrambled ranch-fresh eggs, thick cut bacon, french toast w/ ranch grown persimmons, and fresh grapefruit juice. Thanks you Angie and Chef Neil!|The grounds are beautiful with plenty of places to lounge in private, and far enough off Sonoma Hwy that you feel secluded yet are minutes from great food and wine. The accommodations are super clean and comfortable and spacious. The staff (Brian & Angie) were supper helpful and friendly. And everything from Chef Neil was delicious.|Thank you Beltane! Can't...
Read moreIf I could live at Beltane Ranch, I would. I had been following the property on Instagram for years and when I finally booked it, I was a little afraid that I had built it up too much in my head. But visiting in person was far greater than I had expected. The property is beautiful, the staff so friendly and hospitable, the animals so curious and cute, the wine so crisp and delicious. This is the kind of place that you visit to relax and enjoy your time at the property. When we arrived at the room, there were welcome cookies waiting for us. We booked the Ranger tour to see the animals with our two-year-old and she is still talking about it a month later. The property leaves out carrots for you to feed the donkeys and horses. We bought a bottle of wine and enjoyed it around the property. We visited the park in the town of Sonoma, which is a short drive away and ate dinner at a restaurant within five minutes from the property. The breakfast was so delicious and the chef so thoughtfully prepared our two-year-old meal. She made Elmo out of the eggs, oranges, kiwi, strawberries, etc. When our two-year-old left her hat at the property, the staff went out of their way to mail it back to our home. This place is a dream and my only complaint is that I should have booked a longer stay. We will...
Read moreWe had our wedding and reception at Beltane Ranch in May 2017 and could not be happier! The weather was perfect, the setting gorgeous and the food was amazing.
We booked Beltane for Friday and Saturday nights and it was a great decision. Staying at Beltane with close family gave us the chance to spend quality time with them. Catching up over breakfast together and taking a walk to see the horses was the perfect opportunity for us to reconnect.
Chef Lauren prepared the food for our cocktail hour and reception - she was the perfect choice. The menu she helped us to put together was excellent. Everything was local (many ingredients from Beltane) and beautifully prepared - our guests are still raving about the food! Joy was my contact at Beltane, she was a breeze to work with and did her best to answer all of my questions quickly and thoroughly.
All of our guests had a wonderful time, the most common adjective we heard used to describe our wedding and the setting was "magical." A huge thank you to everyone at Beltane for making our Wedding weekend a joy for ourselves and...
