Just three and a half hours north of San Francisco, this paradise-on-the-Pacific has miles of pristine shoreline, forests of ancient redwoods, award-winning wineries and quaint inns and resorts. Mendocino is known for laid back elegance, with haute cuisine and fine wines served up without the hauteur or the inflated prices.<\/p>\n<p>But what if you want to get married really fast? Without all of the all-consuming planning?<\/p>\n<p>If you crave the simplicity of an elopement with everything prearranged so you can relish the beauty of nature together, here are three Mendocino properties \u2013 all with spectacular ocean views \u2013 that offer terrific elopement packages:<\/p>\n<p>Former Vogue editor Andr\u00e9 Leon Talley says the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brewerygulchinn.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brewery Gulch Inn<\/a> is one of his favorite hotels in the world.

The ambiance is like staying in the elegant Arts and Crafts country home of a dear friend, with fluffy feather beds and soft throws in front of the fireplace in your room. Their Executive Chef only cooks for guests and hand made pastries are always on offer by the front desk. Accommodations are extra and you will savor selecting from one of their delightful rooms \u2013 they only have 10, the better to treat each guest like a VIP. Room prices start at $335.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-6726 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a title=\"brewery-gulch-inn-beach\" href='http:\/\/www.novelldesignstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/brewery-gulch-inn-beach.jpg'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.novelldesignstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/brewery-gulch-inn-beach-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail no-lazy\" alt=\"Get married at Brewery Gulch Inn\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a title=\"brewery-gulch-inn-entrance\" href='http:\/\/www.novelldesignstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/brewery-gulch-inn-entrance.jpg'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.novelldesignstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/brewery-gulch-inn-entrance-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail no-lazy\" alt=\"Great entrance way to walk through!\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a title=\"brewery-gulch-inn-landscape\" href='http:\/\/www.novelldesignstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/brewery-gulch-inn-landscape-2.jpg'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.novelldesignstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/brewery-gulch-inn-landscape-2-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail no-lazy\" alt=\"Fantastic view of Brewery Gulch Inn\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a title=\"brewery-gulch-inn-married-couple\" href='http:\/\/www.novelldesignstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/brewery-gulch-inn-married-couple.jpg'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.novelldesignstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/brewery-gulch-inn-married-couple-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail no-lazy\" alt=\"Married couple by the Brewery Gulch Inn shoreline\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a title=\"brewery-gulch-inn-wedding\" href='http:\/\/www.novelldesignstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/brewery-gulch-inn-wedding.jpg'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.novelldesignstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/brewery-gulch-inn-wedding-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail no-lazy\" alt=\"Get married outdoors at Brewery Gulch Inn\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a title=\"brewery-gulch-inn-wine-food\" href='http:\/\/www.novelldesignstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/brewery-gulch-inn-wine-food-2.jpg'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.novelldesignstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/brewery-gulch-inn-wine-food-2-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail no-lazy\" alt=\"Get married with fine food at Brewery Gulch Inn\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Just down the coast you will find the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.littleriverinn.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Little River Inn<\/a>, a mini-resort surrounded by rolling lawns that connect to uncrowded Van Damme State Park.
