The River Mill, built in 1873, is located along the San Joaquin River in French Camp, California. Originally a processing mill for chicory to be used in coffee, it has seen many uses. The current owner purchased the property in 1972 and in the early 90’s, after extensive renovations, began offering The River Mill facilities for conferences, day-long seminars, luncheons, dinners and special events. As you enter the landscaped grounds you are greeted with peaceful gardens, a walkway lined with roses, crape myrtle and a variety of vegetation. Eight raised beds framed with brick are filled with sculptured privets with white lights and seasonal flowers. Massive native oaks add to the atmosphere and provide cool shade. From the open courtyard that provides entry into the 18,000 square foot brick building you can enter into one of the several rooms of varying size: the intimate Roasting Room with its spectacular fireplace and tall barrel ceilings, The Winery, the spacious River Room or the stately Board Room. The Tasting Room, Garden Room and La Bodega coffeehouse are also available for use for your special event. A second story balcony in the courtyard overlooks a fountain surrounded by iron tables and chairs in a alfresco setting. The party package includes fully staffed use of the facility, full service bars, round table, cushioned chair, a selection of linens and napkins, ivory china, flatware, glassware, fresh floral centerpieces, candles, parking attendants and full event coordination. Our complete wedding package includes fully staffed use of the facilities with all the linens, table settings, wedding cake, candles, full service bars, parking attendants, full event coordination, flowers for the ceremony, bridal party, family, cake, toasting glasses, dining table centerpieces and fresh pieces throughout the building.
