Chapter & Hearth
An 80th Anniversary Dinner
November 8, 2026
Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating Alisal Ranch’s 80th anniversary with an immersive dining experience inspired by the landscapes, traditions, and hospitality that have defined the ranch for generations.
Experience Chapter & Hearth with an overnight stay at Alisal Ranch. Arrive early to settle into the ranch before beginning your evening with a hay wagon ride to the historic Adobe, where welcome cocktails and stories of the land offer a glimpse into Alisal’s remarkable history. The celebration continues beneath the stars with a western cookout featuring thoughtfully prepared cuisine, live music, storytelling, and moments designed to bring the ranch’s enduring legacy to life. After an unforgettable evening, retreat to your room and wake to the beauty of the Santa Ynez Valley, where the spirit of the ranch continues from sunset to sunrise.
As Alisal Ranch celebrates the release of its commemorative history book, Chapter & Hearth invites guests to experience the stories behind its pages through an unforgettable evening of history, hospitality, and ranch tradition.
