A Memorable EveningAmong the Redwoods
Dinner in the Russian River Valley
Some evenings call for more than dinner. At The Lodge at Dawn Ranch, the room quiets as the redwoods darken outside, the kitchen slows its pace by design, and the table becomes the evening's only appointment. It is a setting made for anniversaries, proposals, and unhurried date nights in the Russian River Valley.
Our dining room and lounge are intentionally intimate. Service is attentive without ceremony, and the menu follows the season rather than a script — so no two evenings are quite the same.
The Evening
A Menu Shaped by the Season
Begin in the lounge with small plates and a glass from the bar, or settle in for the full chef's tasting menu — a multi-course journey through Northern California at $175 per guest, led by Co-Executive Chefs Juliana Thorpe and Ignacio Zuzulich.
The wine program pairs naturally with the evening: California, Argentine, and European bottles by the glass, and dedicated wine pairings poured alongside the tasting menu. For a closer look, browse the menus and wine & spirits.
For Special Occasions
Anniversaries, engagements, birthdays, and evenings that simply deserve marking: the tasting menu and its wine pairings are our most complete way to celebrate, and the lounge offers a relaxed setting for a quieter night. If your gathering is larger, our team also hosts private events at the ranch.
