Of the 32 gardens, La Villita is the only formal garden...so think estate planting...Cypress trees, Italian Stone Pines, raised beds and a riot of red roses.
The Villa is a rentable "little house" that seats 200 banquet style with a Bridal Suite, Grooms Suite, Cake Turret and Bar, allowing wedding, corporate or family dinners inside the Villa, or out in the garden, as weather permits.
Not getting married? You can still enjoy a peaceful stroll through the formal gardens with more delightful photo opps than we can count!
We want to showcase local growers whenever possible. Next to the Villa is a small vineyard graciously made possible by the experts at La Vina, Ken and Denise Stark, and Winemaker Guillermo Contado. La Vina started the wine industry in the Valley. We can hardly wait to enjoy the grape clusters and beautiful foliage showcased on the sculptural branching while we learn tips from the experts.
As we leave La Villita your journey continues to the last garden on the Red Path. Prepare for Merriment! You are heading to The Meadow.
