Corvettes of Bakersfield 2nd Annual Wine Tour

American Thunder, OC Harley Davidson Club

We are please to finally bring our dream to reality by beginning our Native American programs. We just completed building our first sweat lodge in late Sep. 08, followed by its blessing and a private sweat lodge ceremony with some close friends. Our goal is to promote growth and healing through traditional Native American teachings and ceremonies. Offering alternative education to youth, adults and families, by exploring human nature to develop a strong positive self-image.

Sacred Ways…
Our ceremony’s master will be Andrew Soliz who has been performing sweat lodge ceremonies for people from all over the world.
He often travels and attends different tribal pow-wows, and has been blessed by many tribal chiefs for his gift and dedication to his work.
Sacred Ways brings together teachers, leaders and other like-minded individuals to share wisdom and promote racial harmony in a safe, nurturing environment founded on integrity.
The circle is strong and full of medicine. Sacred Ways is based on integrity and upholding the traditional ways.

Native American Ceremonies

For the past twenty years, Gianni Manucci (Proprietor) has been visiting various Native American tribes, and studying their culture, artwork and beliefs. With a strong personal attachment and admiration for this ancient culture, Gianni has made it a lifetime journey to bring people from all walks-of-life into this circle of old friends. It is our goal to invite various local tribes on a regular basis to perform ceremonial, spiritual, vision-quest and self realization programs. Gianni has designed and installed his own tipi (20-person capacity) for some of these gathering powwows.

Art Workshops/Seminars

As a stone sculptor and an architect, Gianni Manucci (Proprietor) has a great appreciation for all types of artisans. Whether you are a sculptor, painter, writer, etc.; Gianni's hope is to host you at his vineyard/winery with other artists alike for a small but very private gathering. The vineyard's total seclusion, privacy, and the beautiful panoramic views of the mountains and canyons should serve as a perfect colony to kick back and let your creative juices do the work. Daily and Weekly workshops coupled with our B&B's lodging and accommodations should leave you plenty of time for your artistic creations and piece of mind.

Weddings & Banquets

Our hilltop panoramic site overlooking the vineyard, mountains, canyons, and breathtaking sunsets will be a perfect setting for special wedding and banquet events. With a totally gated property, the privacy and safety of our guests are assured, so you can spend time to enjoy your function. A complete program guide with accommodations can be provided by request via an e-mail, or a phone call away. Please note due to hilltop facility's access, the occupancy space is limited to (30-50) guests per event. Our 5-bedroom B&B's can be reserved entirely for your special party, should that be necessary.
