Chapter & Hearth
Celebrating 80 Years of Alisal
November 8, 2026
For one unforgettable evening, step inside the story of Alisal Ranch.
In celebration of our 80th anniversary and the release of our commemorative history book, Chapter & Hearth invites you beyond the familiar corners of Alisal for a rare evening deep within our 10,500 private acres.
Your journey begins beneath the sycamores at the ranch, where you’ll gather for a welcome cocktail before climbing aboard a hay wagon bound for our historic Adobe. Travel past Alisal Lake and beneath the Santa Ynez Mountains as the landscape unfolds around you—deer roaming the hillsides, bald eagles overhead and the modern world slipping farther away.
Along the way, discover stories of the land, the people who shaped it and the Jackson family’s generations of stewardship. Your destination is a secluded grove of ancient sycamores, where the historic Adobe, feels like a place suspended in time.
Here, the celebration begins.
Raise a glass during cocktail hour, then gather at long tables beneath twinkling lights for an outdoor feast inspired by the ranch and the traditions that have brought people together here for generations.
As evening settles over the grove, enjoy live music, whiskey tasting, storytelling and cowboy poetry. The night concludes fireside, with after-dinner drinks and s’mores beneath a canopy of stars.
More than a dinner, Chapter & Hearth is a rare invitation to venture deeper into Alisal, cross the land, hear its stories and celebrate the people and traditions that have kept the spirit of the West alive for 80 years.
Each ticket includes a copy of Alisal Ranch’s 80th Anniversary Commemorative Book, a beautifully crafted coffee-table book honoring the remarkable history of the land we are proud to call home.
Join us for this one-of-a-kind celebration or make a trip of it with an exclusive overnight rate available only to Chapter & Hearth guests.
Guests must be 21 or older to attend.
Event begins at 4:30pm. Please meet at the Front Desk.
