South Twin Dining Room
Imagine the delight of your guests as they enter through the palatial front doors of the mansion, greeted with passed hors d’oeuvres and champagne. Harken back to the Victorian age with a four course chef led dinner in one of Sarah’s original dining rooms. The recently renovated South Twin Dining Room is resplendent in it’s details, with a beautiful fireplace and antique furnishings available only for private events.

The Carriage House
Located on the south side of the Winchester Estate™, the Carriage House is one of the Bay Area’s most unique venues with floor-to-ceiling original redwood and vintage, rustic charm. The large doors of the room open into the Central Gardens and the room is dotted with vintage lights.
