Please join us for Ranch Weekend on this historic 85-acre ranch in the California wine country for a weekend of camping, swimming, hiking, good food, campfires, dancing, massage and relaxation. The Ranch is located approximately eighty miles northeast of San Francisco in the eastern hills of Napa Valley 15 minutes from St. Helena. There are many world-famous wineries, restaurants, art museums, spas, mineral pools, and mud baths located nearby.
Nestled in a small valley, Burton Creek Ranch has been restored as artist studios, private residence, and retreat facilities. Author and art critic Garth Clark has referred the place as a bucolic Shangri-La. Feel your cares fall away as you descend the winding drive to this historic site. The property includes the original ranch house, a creek side campground, tent cabins, a large lawn area for sunbathing (clothing optional), and a creek fed swimming pool. The ranch also has an extensive organic vegetable and flower garden, orchard, lots of fresh mountain air, and bright sunshine of the Napa Valley summer.
The weekend is open to all group oriented, kind spirited, outdoor-loving, gay and bisexual men, singles and couples welcome. Your host, an experienced chef, who worked under Sally Schmitt at the world renowned French Laundry Restaurant in Yountville California, will be preparing and providing all the meals as well as the environment where you may create your own reality far from the stresses and cares of your weekday life.
