My husband and I had an amazing and beautiful wedding at Fairview Laguna Seca! It was literally the…read morebest day of our lives. I found this venue on Instagram and didn't see it in-person until I was engaged. When we were visiting venues, we fell in love with the event space, both the ceremony site (overlooking the golf course) and modern indoor reception area. We booked the venue one-year out. It was the first & only venue we looked at! We knew it was the location we wanted to be married at. We thoroughly enjoyed working with the Fairview team!! They were very attentive to our details and made our plans & visions a reality. From all the vendors we worked with, everyone was professional and courteous. The baker made us a delicious and beautiful 3-tiered cake, each layer a different flavor. The florist followed my inspiration photos & the DJ read the room well, playing the perfect songs and introducing everyone with a great flow. I highly recommend having a day of coordinator. Well worth the money to have an stress-free (less stressful) day. My husband and I chose the Elite package because it was the best fit for our 150-guest list. Our guests enjoyed the venue, loved the bartenders and appreciated the kids' meals for their children. And the sparkler send off at the end was a fairytale experience! It was truly a joyous day. We are so thankful for the Fairview team and couldn't ask for a more perfect wedding day.

Julia greeted us like it was opening time -- calm, unhurried, fully present. The wines hit different. The sparkling had backbone, the reds carried weight without shouting, and the brandy--smooth but with a quiet burn that reminds you where you are. It's the kind of lineup that could sit comfortably on a Napa shelf, just without the attitude or the markup. There's an honesty to this place. You taste it in the glass and feel it in how they treat you. We left with bottles, a membership, and a few photos Julia snapped -- not posed, just moments. Odonata doesn't perform hospitality. It lives it.

I'm glad we came when it was empty! Tasting fee was $20 for 4 wines but we also got to taste a Syrah and stainless steel Chardonnay. Wines are some bolder and some lighter. Some earth and some fruit. We liked the estate Pinot noir (earthy) and the oaked Chardonnay the best (not as oakey compared to some) We were able to waive 1 tasting fee with 2 bottles purchase. I heard you can go a few times a week and still get free tastings like other places if you are members unlike other wineries. They have spacious outdoor and the indoor is also a good size. Nice and clean restrooms outside in another building. You can bring outside food. I saw that they sell some cheese and snacks too.
