The Barn at Gainey

The Barn at Gainey is perfect for couples who want rustic-chic elegance set against the pastoral loveliness of rolling hills, a creek, and live oaks. Built in the 1890’s, The Barn is located on the Gainey Ranch about a half-mile drive from the winery. This site offers a distinctive setting that allows you to use multiple spaces with everything from a sweeping meadow, to the shade of the live oaks, to the rural charm inside the barn. The Barn is an enchanting site unlike any other property in the Santa Ynez Valley.

Outside The Barn

Immediately outside the front of The Barn is an open space for an amazing dinner reception or cocktail hour as the sun is setting. This wide-open space overlooks the creek and rolling hills and has a fire pit available for use (perfect for those late night s’mores). Maximum Capacity: 200

Inside The Barn

With a recently contructed raised hardqwook floor, the inside of The Barn makes a great space for a small ceremony, cocktail hour, or end of the night with dancing to your favorite band. Maximum Capacity: 100 standing, 40-50 seated
