The large property, with 15 acres of vineyards, provides the perfect backdrop for creating a unique wedding experience. with breathtaking views of the lake, valley and vineyard. Our wedding ceremonies are traditionally held at the lake gazebo or vineyard pergola areas, but we also have other areas of the grounds where people have taken their vows.
Our large reception pavilion is nestled in the vineyard and lawn areas, and is a unique space that has three long walls that have movable doors that can be opened to allow an outdoor feel when the weather is nice. Two of the walls are a series of glass doors and still maintain the natural lighting and views of the lawn, vineyard and lake areas even if the building is closed to the elements.
Our pavilion has a covered patio area that can seat additional guests and is often used as a dance floor and social space by receptions. Groups have hosted weddings from 75 people to 300 people in the pavilion building. We can also offer a smaller lovely reception space in our tasting room area with exceptional views of the surrounding valley and farms.
