5 INVENTIVE, INDELIBLE CUISINE Taking our guests and yours on a unique culinary journey is key to the Ventana Big Sur experience, just as essential as the stunning landscape and our intimate setting.

His diverse dishes are custom-catered for any and all aspects of your celebration including the rehearsal dinner, reception, morning-after brunch and more. The Sur House For a truly incomparable event, The Sur House, our signature restaurant, can be reserved in its entirety.
