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. Originally used as the storage and maintenance area for Sarah’s carriages, it later transitioned to the estate’s only garage for Sarah’s fleet of automobiles. Today, it is used to host everything from business meetings to wedding receptions.

  • Accommodates up to 100 guests – reception style

The Greenhouse

In Sarah’s time, the estate was surrounded by acres of orchards and farmland. So, it’s no surprise that Sarah’s love for horticulture is evident throughout the estate. The Winchester Mystery House® has lovingly maintained the North and South conservatories as well as the original Greenhouse. Today, the Greenhouse, with its light and airy ambiance, is used primarily for private events. Located near the Carriage House and Central Gardens, it’s the perfect location for a garden party, Victorian tea or cocktail reception.  At night, the space comes alive with charming overhead lighting that accentuate its botanical attributes.
