Get Lost In The Dreamy Details Of California's Devine Ranch
California’s pristine Central Coast has long been a destination for travelers looking to enjoy scenic views, delicious, farm-fresh fare and some of the country’s best wines.  We have always believed the region’s rolling topography, gorgeous old woods and starlit night skies offer an ideal setting for friends and loved ones to come together in celebration. So imagine our delight when Devine Ranch began hosting events in early 2014, led by venue manager and seasoned event industry pro Katerina Devine.This gorgeous estate is nestled in the Aptos hills, just a stone’s throw from the Santa Cruz coastline. Upon entering the property, you’ll discover 80 immaculate acres of farmland where horses and cattle roam freely. The beautifully-manicured open spaces are anchored by a stunning 7,000 square-foot rustic lodge and matching stables.  Visitors are encouraged to meander through the property’s gardens, relax under the ancient oak trees, or wind down in the company of friends around one of the estate’s wood burning fireplaces. At Devine Ranch, everywhere you turn offers a beautiful vista just waiting to be enjoyed.
