The Ripe Choice Farm and Catering

Set among vineyards and orchards near Clear Lake, this rural hideaway combines a characterful venue with the craft of a seasoned boutique caterer. Event organisers will find a flexible barn and farm setting that suits intimate weddings, rehearsal dinners, retreats and milestone celebrations, with atmospheric outdoor spots for welcome drinks or a long-table supper under the stars.

In the kitchen, the team creates California‑inspired menus led by what is fresh and local, from vibrant salads and wood‑roasted mains to elegant sweet finishes. Every menu is tailored to theme, taste and budget, and the crew can coordinate rentals and décor so planners have one point of contact from set‑up to service. Dietary preferences are handled with care, keeping flavour and presentation front and centre.

For corporate planners, think chef‑curated luncheons, client receptions and team gatherings that feel relaxed yet considered. Private clients can book chef’s‑table experiences, cooking classes or personalised celebrations on the farm, while off‑site catering brings the same thoughtful food and friendly service to your chosen location.

Based in Lakeport, the business also offers gourmet delivered meals across Lake County, ideal for production crews, retreat groups or pre‑event dinners. A stylish studio loft on the farm provides a cosy stay for two, making it easy to turn an event into a short escape. From first tasting to final toast, this is a destination where fresh, seasonal cooking meets warm hospitality in a distinctive countryside setting.
