As Seen on The Knot


Choose Your Setting

The “Meet & Mingle” setting with glass-top tables provides informal seating where the guests are free to move around and is well-suited for club meetings and business outings. Outdoors, the crushed limestone patio is framed by the butterfly garden with lots of color from spring through fall. Indoors, this setting offers exclusive use of the tasting room for 20 people seated and up to 40 people total.

Canopies provide structure and shade for outdoor settings and are included at no extra charge. Add food options provided by the winery to any setting including full buffet meals, nibbler trays, and cupcakes.

The “Rustic Elegance” setting features cloth table coverings, preset cloth napkins and glassware. A canopy will be used at midday but the log cabin casts a long shadow as evening approaches. When no canopy is necessary, the sky opens up to meet the view of the vineyard from the patio. Indoors or out, this setting is a favorite choice for bridal showers and rehearsal dinners.

Raised fire bins

 

Vineyard lawn area

Our “Cozy Campfire” setting is perfect for birthday parties and gatherings of friends. A fire warms the soul and centers the conversation. The fire can be built in the open lawn area, in a raised bin on the patio, or in a recessed pit nestled in the trees. Straw bales make up some of the casual seating. Of course you need something to drink so check out our beverage options. You may add a wine tasting, wine bar, or sparkler beverage to any party setting. The handy S’mores kit is one of the many food options.

 

Recessed fire pit

The “Table for Two” setting is a unique opportunity to create an intimate dining experience for a special occasion. This setting is often a surprise for one of the guests! We have some tried-and-true locations outdoors or you can scout ahead to find just the perfect spot. Indoors you will have exclusive use of the tasting room for your dimly-lit and specially-set table.

We are happy to pull together the finishing touches so you can relax and enjoy…

…or you can bring your own themes and colors with the option to set up early. Our staff is always present to serve and assist.

A variety of table sizes, surfaces and arrangements are available to create a pleasing neutral backdrop for your gathering. Add a featured cake table ($40) or request auxiliary tables to suit your activities. Small floral centerpieces (total of $30 white, $40 specific color) are also a simple addition.
