Many people looking to acquire a retreat for business purposes are often interested in using the property for events as well. For example, a common question with wine country retreats is whether a new owner can do weddings, wine tastings or business events.
Some preliminary questions include zoning of the property; permitted uses for the property; number of events; size of the events; frequency of the events; catering or food preparation on site; will events be private or public; will there be music; anticipated hours of operation; will a liquor licence be needed?
Retreat properties with the legal right to conduct events are not as common as commonly thought. We have experience both owning and operating this type of property. There are several listings in many price ranges for properties which can accommodate 4 – 75 events per year, 200 or more attendees per event, commercial kitchen or catering kitchens. Give us a call if you have specific requirements at (707) 875-9462 and we will try to put you in touch with the right contact.
