Lodge

Have Your Next Affair At Fitzpatrick Winery & Lodge BUSINESS AND PLEASURE!

Why not enjoy yourself at your next business meeting? Fitzpatrick Winery & Lodge is only an hour east of Sacramento; yet, you'll feel unplugged from your everyday business landscape. At 2500 ft atop a hill in the Sierra Foothills, you can see forever and you'll feel refreshed and inspired by the awesome beauty. And if the boss feels good, everybody feels great.

PRIVATE FUNCTIONS AND MEETING FACILITIES
Our handsome log Lodge can host private functions and offers meeting facilities for up to 50 (sit-down) people comfortably indoors. Depending on the season's weather, you have the option to stage your private function or meeting inside the 'Great Room' or outside on the 1600 square foot deck with its spectacular panoramic views. You can also breakdown into smaller groups and meet in the tasting room or 'overlook'. However creative your meeting format, our Lodge offers a flexible and comfortable environment to insure a successful evening.

OUR PRICES ARE VERY REASONABLE BUT ARE NOT ALA CARTE - LET ME EXPLAIN
There are four categories of costs that add up to the total cost of your function: 1)Bed & Breakfast accommodations,  2)Facility Use Fee,  3)Catering, 4)Bar and occasionally there may be extra costs incurred reflecting your particular needs. 1) Bed & Breakfast accommodations: we do not allow functions here at the Lodge without the inclusion of booking all five B&B rooms. If the function (eg. Wedding) occurs on a weekend you must book all five rooms for two nights. The costs vary depending on which days of the week ( click on http://www.fitzpatrickwinery.com/B_and_B for exact prices). Exceptions to booking all 5 rooms may sometimes be possible only on weekdays. 2)Facility Use Fee: When you book all 5 rooms your party of 10 have no additional fees to use the facilities. However, when the numbers exceed the 10 B&B guests, we have a sliding scale fee schedule. Starting at $500 for up to 20 people, and $1000 for up to 50 people indoors /$2000 for up to 100 outdoors. This facility use fee secures the date and is non refundable. Sometimes during the week we will make an exception to booking all 5 rooms and make the facility use fee plus 1/2 the costs of the 5 rooms for one weeknight (currently ~$275). 3)Catering: Our commercial kitchen is capable of providing all your food service needs from breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. Pricing must be customized to each function and reflect the economies of scale. 4)Bar: Our tasting room is licensed to serve Fitzpatrick wines, brandies, beer and non-alcoholic beverages. You are charged for what your party consumes - no leftover inventory, no second guessing consumption. Occasionally extra charges may be incurred and we will discuss that with you in the planning of your function.  For example: a wedding party, booking all five B&B rooms,75 people for the wedding reception including dinner & bar will total from $5,500 - $8,000 here at Fitzpatrick's.

B&B guests enjoy a full breakfast each morning. Additional rooms are available at nearby B&Bs (we'll assist you in this regard).  In-house catering allows us to offer you food service for any occasion: Breakfast, lunch, dinner, teatime or snacks.
