“Very cool facility! Went here for a pre-purchase ride and they had all kinds of activities going. Two big covered arenas with ropers going in one of them and a group lesson in the other.
Staff was friendly and the place is immaculate! Wish i lived closer to be able to practice out here!”

“Choosing this location as our wedding venue was easily one of the best decisions my husband and I made. The scenery is absolutely beautiful, the staff is warm and welcoming, and the venue itself has such a charming and inviting atmosphere that made our day feel even more special.

The wine selection was also amazing! Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how great the wines were throughout the night.

Working with our coordinator, Brianna, was effortless. Communication was smooth from start to finish, and she always made us feel supported. Wedding planning can be overwhelming and time consuming, but Brianna and the entire Guglielmo Winery team made everything feel so much lighter. They took care of the details, guided us through the process, and helped us create a day that was even more memorable than we imagined.

We are truly grateful for how seamless and special they made our experience. Highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a stunning location, an amazing team, and fantastic wine.”

“This is a really nice large outdoor venue that we visited for a Peninsula Open Space Trust donor event. An appropriate locale as Coyote Valley provides some critical wildlife linkages that POST has worked on.

We had great sunny weather and enjoyed the large and shaded areas. It’s quite a large spread, so I’m glad we were given a map and wandered the grounds. The baby goats in the petting zoo were cute and we stumbled upon some corn-hole games and ping pong tables. The food and drink, while served buffet style was all quite tasty.

If you have the opportunity to go here, take it!”

“We absolutely love P & V Winery! We became members on the first visit after not only tasting their various wines but also being around and chatting with the owners, Paul & Vicki! We feel lucky to have found this gem of a winery that may be small in size but big with vibrant vinos, friendly owners, and fun atmosphere. Thank you!!”

“I went to see my niece & nephew performing, M.O.V.E. presents KEEP STANDING. What a beautiful sight to see children dancing for the Lord. The location was nice and clean and it was a hot day so the AC was working very well”

“There for bingo. Nice strip payouts of $750 and specialty strip that is currently at $4,000 if you bingo on a pink square. Honestly, compared to other bingo places in the area this probably is the most expensive. Less than 10 paper games, with a minimum buy-in of $50.”

“We went to Fortino to see a band that was playing for their Fri concert. The venue is beautiful and the wine was very good. I had the Pinot Grigio a d my husband had Syrah. I enjoyed them both.”

“Haven’t been recently but have stayed here several times. Great vegan food, good yoga, friendly folks, amazing nature, and then an archery as well as an excellent Buddhist temple is nearby. On sight they have the Hanuman Temple, with a gift shop and Alternative Health Modality services.”

“I got married at Willow Heights Mansion in May 2025, and I truly cannot say enough good things about this venue and the team behind it. After my original venue fell through, I was in full-on panic mode, scrambling for a backup with just five months to go. I posted in a Facebook brides group venting about the disaster, and Christina from Willow Heights reached out to let me know they had my date available. She absolutely saved my wedding.

Despite the short timeline, Christina helped bring our entire vision to life. The planning process was intense, but she and her team made everything feel smooth and manageable. We had a beautiful outdoor ceremony and an indoor reception with about 100 guests, and everything was flawless. The venue itself is stunning and barely needs any extra decor to shine. Savannah from the Luxe design team was incredibly patient with me, especially as I kept changing my mind about linens and florals. Christina was also always quick to respond to every question and concern I had along the way.

On the actual day, the staff was amazing, the space looked gorgeous, and we got so many compliments from our guests. The get-ready rooms were also beautiful, spacious, stylish, and perfect for photos. The food was fantastic. Our guests would not stop raving about how good it was. Multiple people told us it was the best wedding food they've had ever had.

The one moment that really sums up the level of care we received: right before our first dance, my dress started falling apart. Christina got down on the floor with safety pins and literally fixed my dress herself. I still can’t believe it. She was calm, professional, and hands-on in a way I’ll never forget. I 100% recommend Willow Heights Mansion to any couple looking for a beautiful venue with an outstanding team. Our wedding was perfect because of them.”

“Portuguese crab feed is outstanding.Homemade spiced warm bread. Delicious crispy salad.Crab galore Portuguese spices and finger licking good.Great drinks to wash down the meal.Best experience and awesome customer service.”

“Amazing course! Well designed, picturesque, well maintained. Only complaint is the pace of play - with a 9am tee time it was painfully slow, they really need a marshall (didn’t see one even once).”

“My fiance and I did a tour/consultation here with Emily and it was a wonderful experience. Emily was knowledgeable, informative, and easy to talk to. We were a bit nervous as this was the first time we toured a wedding venue and did not want to feel pushed pressured or uncomfortable (like at a car dealership) but it was truly a pleasant experience! Highly recommend meeting with Emily and this venue is gorgeous!”

“Once a year the wife and I come here and smash a bunch of shitty food and walk around, then find a quiet place and smash like we're young. Great place to have fun when the fair is in town.”

“After 8yrs from when my daughter first started, not counting the approx 3years my son was a part of it. They're so instrumental in working and helping and bringing out our kids abilities. Whether it's athletic or other things, like making friends, respectful. We've taken our last class. Mrs Carol and staff are AWESOME, that's an understatement. Classes and let's not forget the oh so important Parent Survival Night. Much needed for parents to get some quality time.”

“It's nice, the location is great . Theres not much of a view other than the freeway but it's pretty much quiet except for those people who go honking their horn all crazy at people who are in their RV's. Why people do that is so anoying. They sound like idiots if you ask me. Other than that it's pretty much quiet.
During the day you can see the wild turkeys and the deer just walking on the other side of the fence closer to the creek. At night you can hear the coyote , I don't know if you want to call it barking or howling. The make sure they are heard every night.”

“Great place. Very clean and located in a very convenient part of town. Great service. Biscuits and gravy are great, just need one of those waffle makers in the breakfast buffet!”

“Love this place! We are staying in a queen 2 room suite. It has a kitchen, dishwasher, stove, microwave, full size refrigerator and a cozy couch to watch TV. There is also a desk, table for 2, automan, and a coffee table. Bedroom has a TV with closet and dresser. Nice seperate toilet/shower from sink/dressing area. Free buffet breakfast. Indoor pool and spa. Basketball court. Next door to In-and-out, Star Bucks, and across the freeway is Red Robin and Chili's.”
