Wellness‑Forward Events

Wellness events aren’t just for yoga studios and retreats anymore. Couples, companies, and nonprofits are increasingly asking:

“Can we host something that feels celebratory and genuinely good for people’s bodies?”

At Stone House, the answer is yes—and it starts with three pillars: seed-oil-free cooking, thoughtful zero-proof options, and a connection to regenerative farming.

Seed-Oil-Free by Design

Most restaurant and banquet kitchens lean heavily on industrial seed oils because they’re cheap and stable. Stone House has chosen a different path.

Communications from the restaurant emphasize that the menu has moved to 100% seed-oil-free cooking, using organic ingredients and traditional fats instead—a shift reflected in community conversations and updates shared through this local Facebook discussion.

For events, this means:

Sautés, roasts, and dressings built on olive oil, butter, and other time-honored fats
Fewer ultra-processed ingredients hiding in the background
Plates that feel indulgent and satisfying without the heavy, “mystery oil” aftermath

For wellness-oriented groups—retreats, health brands, mindful companies—this is a big deal.

Zero-Proof Cocktails with Intention

Alcohol doesn’t have to be the main character at your event. Stone House’s bar program includes creative zero-proof drinks built with teas, juices, herbs, and botanicals, not just soda and lime.

This approach aligns with broader dining preferences in the area, as reflected across Tripadvisor’s Nevada City activities and dining listings.

For weddings, corporate events, and retreats, you can:

Offer signature zero-proof cocktails that match or mirror the main cocktail
Build a bar experience where non-drinkers feel fully included
Encourage a more sustainable energy curve throughout the evening

Wellness isn’t about removing fun; it’s about broadening what “fun” can look like.

Regenerative Farming & Stone House Farms

Just outside town, Stone House Farms focuses on regenerative agriculture and retreat-style experiences, including glamping, creative residencies, and farm-fresh meals.

The broader Stone House ecosystem connects:

Food grown with an eye toward soil health and biodiversity
A kitchen that knows how to translate that into memorable plates
A venue that can host both downtown events and small-group experiences on the land

For wellness events, this opens up options like farm-to-table dinners, farm visits, or multi-day retreat formats that blend Stone House’s historic venue with time on the farm.

Designing a Wellness-Centric Event at Stone House

You might combine:

Morning movement or meditation on the farm or in a quiet room
Workshops or talks in the Showroom or Dining Room
Seed-oil-free, organic lunch leveraging fresh produce and clean protein
Afternoon nature time on nearby trails
Evening dinner and zero-proof bar in the historic stone spaces downtown

Whether it’s a company offsite focused on burnout recovery, a conscious wedding, or a health-brand launch, wellness becomes a lived experience rather than just a theme.

Stone House

If you’re looking for a venue that takes wellness seriously—from what’s in the pan to what’s in the glass—Stone House and Stone House Farms offer a rare combination: regenerative agriculture, seed-oil-free cooking, robust zero-proof options, and a historic setting right in downtown Nevada City.
