Couples searching for a spectacular setting for their wedding have a new venue to consider. Club Los Meganos is a 34,000-square-foot resort-style clubhouse at Trilogy at the Vineyards in Brentwood set amid the breathtaking backdrop of East County’s rolling hills and vineyards.

“What’s amazing about this facility is that there is nothing like it in all of East County,” said Charleen Early, Club Los Meganos catering and events manager. “With our gorgeous views and beautiful new event center, who wouldn’t want to get married here? It’s absolutely spectacular.”

The community got its first peek at the premiere facility last week during a public tour and media event hosted by Trilogy at the Vineyards. The five-star gathering included Brentwood Mayor Bob Taylor and members of the City Council as well as local officials and dignitaries.

In addition to weddings, which are held in the Los Meganos Mt. Diablo Event Center, the clubhouse was also designed to accommodate a variety of special events, including smaller, private parties, outdoor concerts and lectures. Beginning this month, Trilogy at the Vineyards will host its inaugural Keynote Lecture Series, spotlighting a number of speakers on a variety of topics.

“We’re very excited about introducing our 2010 Keynote Lecture Series, which we think will be become very popular with our members and the general public,” said Dan O’Brien, area president for Shea Homes Active Lifestyle Communities and Trilogy resident. “Each of our guest lecturers brings a unique subject to the table. We expect that this series will become a community asset, part of what makes living in Brentwood so attractive.”

The one-of-a-kind multi-million-dollar facility is surrounded by 10 lush, Mediterranean-style gardens situated amid reflection pools, terraces and verandas. Luxuriant landscaping, including olive groves and rustic vineyards, highlight the 30,000 square feet of outdoor amenities. Walking trails, tennis and bocce ball courts and other outdoor amenities surround Los Meganos, offering a continuous source of exercise and relaxation opportunities.

Club Los Meganos offers an abundance of star-resort features, including a full-service day spa (open to the public) with indoor and outdoor treatment rooms for nails, facials, massages and more. There are also a variety of dining opportunities and service options at Los Meganos as well, including a café (also open to the public), gourmet cooking studio, poolside cabana service, spa lounge and full-service catering kitchen.

Two pools – one indoor and one outdoor – offer recreational options, and an expansive state-of-the-art athletic club featuring dedicated areas for cardio, strength-training and women’s-only workouts are available to members, as are the expansive, upscale men’s and women’s locker rooms.

The club’s completion is expected to stimulate the area’s economy while providing a unique destination location for active adults, corporate gatherings and special events.

“We’re proud that this project’s completion is a reflection of the productive partnership between Trilogy and the City of Brentwood,” said O’Brien. “We’ve long had the confidence in the East Bay’s economic future to proceed with a development of this size, scope and scale.”
