Club Almaden

Historic Club Almaden is an idyllic picnic location, as well as a beautiful site for an evening wedding and reception. You and your guests will forget you're only minutes away from town. You'll enjoy six lush acres of green lawn, surrounded by giant shade trees and a rambling creek.

As you enjoy your gourmet feast, you can sit in the shade of the historic Casa Grande Mansion and ponder whether to participate in one of the many activities or just relax with a cool drink under a shady tree. If you want to learn more about this old miner's mansion a tour of the grounds or a visit to the museum is right there.

A Catered Affair is now managing this gorgeous picnic facility. With over 22 years of experience, we have designed complete event packages (for more information on weddings, click here). These packages are inclusive of all food, drinks, games and entertainment for just one low price.
