Fees, Features, & Furnishings

Nestled in the rolling hills of Nicasio, California—a mere 45-minute jaunt from the Golden Gate Bridge. This woman-owned gem is where rustic charm meets understated elegance, and yes, there are actual cows. The ranch is a sprawling canvas of lush grasslands, oak forests, and sunsets so dreamy they could make a poet weep. The vibe? Think “country chic” with a dash of “I woke up like this” elegance. Pricing is tailored to your event, and the ranch accommodates intimate gatherings to larger celebrations. With its unique charm and breathtaking views, Cow Track Ranch isn’t just a venue—it’s an experience.

Wedding Day Blueprint

Morning Prep: Start your day in the cozy Bunk House or Guest House. These charming accommodations are perfect for sipping coffee while your glam squad works their magic. Pro tip: The morning light here is Instagram gold.

Ceremony: Picture this—your vows exchanged atop the Halleck Creek Hillside, with a backdrop of rolling hills and tree-lined canyons. Or perhaps the historic 1871 Wood Barn is more your style, offering a touch of vintage romance. Either way, your “I do’s” will be unforgettable.

Cocktail Hour: Guests can mingle in the Barnyard Area, sipping signature cocktails and enjoying the golden hour glow. Wine barrels and cornhole? Yes, please.

Reception: The Reception Barn is where the magic happens. With chandeliers, bistro lighting, and antique mirrors, it’s the perfect blend of rustic and chic. Dance the night away under the stars in the Corral—because who needs a roof when you have the Milky Way?

Wrap-Up: End the night with a toast in the barn, then retreat to your on-site lodging. Trust me, you’ll sleep like royalty.

Food & Beverage

Cow Track Ranch is unapologetically country—wide-open land, big skies, and a food & beverage approach built for flexibility, not fine-dining theater. This is a bring-your-team, build-your-experience venue: the ranch sets the scene and the boundaries, and your caterer handles the execution.

It’s a natural fit for couples who value laid-back freedom over packaged polish. You’ll want a caterer who’s comfortable operating a mobile kitchen and managing utilities, but the payoff is complete creative control—from the menu and bar style to the flow of the evening. If your vision includes long tables, generous food, strong drinks, and absolutely zero ballroom energy, Cow Track Ranch does exactly what it promises: space, simplicity, and the freedom to do it your way.
