Chateau St. Jean is a landmark Sonoma Valley winery where the inner courtyard, grand vineyard lawn, and elegant Olive Grove provide three distinct ceremony settings for celebrations of up to 400 guests — all accompanied by the estate's wines.

The story

Three ceremony settings, one Sonoma Valley institution

Chateau St. Jean sits along the Sonoma Highway in Kenwood where the Valley narrows and the vines press close on either side — a setting that has made this one of Sonoma's most enduring estate addresses since the winery opened in 1973. Three distinct ceremony settings give couples genuine choice: the inner courtyard for intimacy, the grand lawn that opens to rolling vineyard views, and the Olive Grove for something that feels simultaneously ancient and distinctly Californian. String lighting for evening events turns the estate into something softer and more private after dusk.

The winery accommodates up to 400 guests for evening events running from 5 PM to 10 PM, with award-winning Chateau St. Jean wines forming the backbone of every celebration. A full-service wedding planner is required, and catering must come from the preferred vendor list — both are typical for a landmark estate that wants to protect the experience quality that has made it a Sonoma institution. For couples who value a recognisable wine country backdrop alongside genuine architectural character, Chateau St. Jean remains one of the Valley's most compelling choices.
