It had been several years since visiting the Ojai Valley Inn and Spa so it was fun to be overwhelmed again with just how incredibly gorgeous it is! Originally a country club, there are over 300 rooms and a beautiful golf course that sprawls throughout its 220 acres. The welcome reception venue was an awesome new space called ‘The Farmhouse’, a new 20 million dollar event center:
Both the Ojai Valley Inn and the town itself are surrounded by oak trees, fruit groves, avocado groves and the Topatopa mountains. It’s so picturesque and offers dozens of activities within minutes of the property. Guests enjoyed everything from beekeeping, golf, jeep tours, horseback riding, brewery tours, wine tastings, pasta cooking classes, rock climbing, BBQ smoker classes, and bicycle tours.
A highlight of the trip was a lovely dinner at a private estate on the west side of Ojai called the Collins Ranch:
The final night dinner was at the Orchard Lawn on the property at the Ojai Valley Inn:
I sure can’t wait to get back to photograph another event in Ojai!!
