Riata Ranch is a family owned and operated 1200 acre property nestled at the base of the Santa Lucia Mountains in Santa Margarita, California.
Luxury paired with the beauty and serenity of nature! Set on twelve hundred acres, this historic property was once part of a ranch that was a 1700 California Land Grant. Mighty Oaks provide natural canopies that offer filtered sunlight for afternoon events. Multiple ceremony locations, from wide open spaces to intimate nooks, afford sweeping views of the surrounding hills. There is even the ruins of an old homestead where the stone foundation and chimney provide a fabulous backdrop for photos.

Venue Setting

Tucked in the heart of rural Santa Margarita, this breathtaking 1,400 acre retreat exemplifies the relaxed elegance of the region, where sun-kissed hills and golden ranch lands are cooled by gentle coastal breezes. Though just a short 20-minute drive from San Luis Obispo, this central coast property feels like a private oasis made just for your celebration.
