    The Bergmann’s

    I recently had the most incredible wedding at Hans Fahden. From the moment my partner and I first visited the vineyard while dating, we knew it was something special. The owners were so accommodating and kind, and the wedding coordinator, Vanessa, was an absolute superstar. Despite unexpected weather, our photos turned out like something out of a fairytale. I can't recommend Hans Fahden enough for anyone looking for a magical venue for their special day. Thank you, Hans Fahden, for making our dreams come true!✨🍷 🤍

    Our dream wedding

    Every interaction we had with Hans Fahden was positive. As soon as we toured the venue, we knew it was the one! Vanessa made the whole planning process very easy and was super helpful with being the point of contact for most of our vendors. We’ve gotten so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful the venue was and how unique the wine cave was for the reception! If you’re looking to have a beautiful Napa Valley wedding, look no further!

    An amazing experience

    This venue was so beautiful. I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding. Thank you so much for everything. Our experience was magical.

    Hans Fahden Vineyards's reply:

    Thank you, Jasmine. It was an honor to be part of your wonderful ceremony and share in the day. All the best to you and Terry!

    Hans Fahden is a Magical Place

    From the moment that we set foot at Hans Fahden Winery, we knew it was the place that we wanted to get married at. The Staff (Aubrey & Karen) and the others make you feel like Hans Fahden is your Winery, and they are your family. The Winery has a list of vendors that they work with, and let me tell you they are TOP NOTCH! from planning to the day of our wedding; everything went without a hitch. The pictures do not do the grounds justice; go in and visit, and I can assure you it is like no place you have visited before.

    A magical night...

    Let me start by saying how much my guests are still talking about this venue. We opted for the all inclusive package at Hans and I could not recommend it enough. Aubrey is amazing and quick to respond. I had numerous questions during the entire process and she had the answers. The all inclusive package is nice because the vendors have all worked with each other and know how to work well together. It takes a lot of the planning stress off of the bride and groom. Even with the all inclusive package we were still able to pick from a list of vendors for most areas of the wedding giving us the option to not have a cookie cutter wedding like most would think with a package. Another beautiful feature of this venue is the wine cave where the reception is held. Thank you again to Hans Fahden and their amazing team!

    Hans Fahden Vineyards's reply:

    Hi Melanie,
    Thank you so much for your kind words! We're beyond happy that you, Ben, family, and friends enjoyed your wedding day/celebration. You & Ben are truly lovely humans. It was such a pleasure helping you bring your day to life. Come see us anytime!

    If you want your guests to rave how 'gorgeous' and 'magical' your wedding was, and if you like the idea of having your dinner in a beautiful wine cave, I highly recommend Hans Fahden Vineyards. What I appreciated:

    -They know how to run weddings and want you to be happy. We booked the All-Inclusive Package which included quality vendors they've worked with before, which made the day flow smoothly.
    -The venue is just absolutely gorgeous, and the wine cave really made an impression on our guests.
    -I got to be fully present on my big day and didn't have to worry about minutiae thanks to our Day-of Coordinator Reyna, part of the Hans Fahden staff. She took care of it all. She, along with all the staff at this venue, is very friendly and professional.
    -Aubrey the Events Coordinator for accommodated our last-minute wine purchases and catered to my bridesmaids and I while we were getting ready in the Bride's room. These kind gestures stood out to me.

    Thank you to all the staff at Hans Fahden Vineyards for making my wedding a beautiful and unforgettable experience!

    I recently got married at Hans Fahden this past Friday July 14th, 2017. My fairytale dream came to life and it could not have been more perfect. I got the wedding package and the vendors were all amazing. My coordinator was on top of everything and had amazing suggestions for a bride that had no idea how a wedding ran, the food from All Seasons was incredible people cannot stop talking about it, the flowers were gorgeous and brought my woodland vision to life, the music was great and we danced the whole night, the photographer was so attentive and took so many amazing pictures I cannot wait to see the finished product. I will definitely remember this day forever and thanks to Hans Fahden and their amazing service everything was perfect!

    What can I say other than amazing!!!! Everything about the Hans Fahden wedding package was above and beyond our expectations!! Planning a destination wedding can be hard but working with Hans Fahden and their wedding package deal made the process smooth and easy. The different areas on the property from the garden ceremony, cocktail hour, wine cave for dinner and the grand room for dancing and gardens in general made the day so enjoyable for all our guests that had travelled from abroad as they didn't have to leave the property to see 4 different beautiful areas. The wine cave is very novelty and beautiful and none of our guests had experienced eating dinner in a wine cave before so were amazed when we opened the doors to reveal the beautiful candle lit cave. I would rate Hans Fahden 11 out of 10 and would recommend to anyone wanting an enchanting and beautiful day! All the vendors included in the package were wonderful also!!!

    This destination does not disappoint! The setting is magical, the all inclusive package makes planning a breeze, the vendors were outstanding...music, food, flowers, photography, etc. The wedding coordinator was so easy to work with and from planning on through the actual wedding, made everything stress-free and effortless. When you see the reaction from all of your guests you'll be so glad Hans Fahden was your venue of choice!! And, I'm just the Mother of the Bride...I'm sure my daughter's review will be in complete agreement!

    Hans Fahden created my fairy tale wedding. It was a gorgeous venue and the setting required very little additional decor or work on my part. Also, their team was very easy to work with and had a ton of experience with the venue. I didn't have to worry about much throughout the process and especially during the big day. After the wedding we got a ton of compliments on the venue. I'd recommend this to anyone planning an intimate wedding of 100 or less.

    We had the pleasure last week of having our wedding at Hans Fahden Vineyard in Calistoga, CA. We could not be happier with how our wedding turned out! The grounds are a beautiful winery nestled in the hills of Calistoga, CA. As an all-inclusive service they made planning our wedding a breeze. We met Anton Fahden last year while looking for venues to get married for our destination wedding, he gave great overviews and was helpful with any questions we had. Mary Pierce the events director, was also very resourceful in helping us set up our big day. She was our main contact throughout the year and answered all out questions quickly and was a joy to work with. Sue Luna was our coordinator and did a wonderful job making sure everything went smooth from the planning in the months before to the big day itself. Her attention to detail was extremely appreciated, as she remembered parts of our ceremony that we had forgotten! Sue as well as everyone involved made our bid day a dream wedding that we will never forget! We know that a huge part of that is due to everyone involved that we worked with. We would highly Hans Fahden and their all-inclusive package to anyone getting married in the Napa Valley region.

    Hans Fahden is a beautiful venue in the heart of wine country. It lacks nothing except pomp and price. If you are having a smaller wedding, but want to get married in wine country, this is the perfect venue. The staff did a fantastic job catering to our needs and were even flexible enough to allow us to swap some of their traditional vendors for ones of our choosing. They offer an all inclusive package that really delivers a stress free experience. Also their catering and cake was absolutely delicious: Bella Bakery and All Seasons Catering both from Calistoga. If you are curious about them at all you can even stop in and have lunch and chat with the staff after you check out Hans Fahden, just call ahead and let them know. Thank you for such an amazing wedding!

    I just got married at Hans Fahden Vineyards and had a perfect wedding experience there. You must visit Hans Fahden to understand just how beautiful it is. The venue is gorgeous, intimate, and unique. My favorite features are the lily pond, tea house veranda, the luscious garden, the adirondack chairs on the patio, the scattered wine barrels, and the illuminated wine cave.

    Beyond the venue itself, the people involved made my experience amazing and personal. Antone, the owner, first guided us through the venue and explained how the wedding would take place. He is so kind and clearly loves holding weddings on his property. I appreciated how organized he was and how they have everything planned out so well. I also really appreciate knowing the owner and having a personal experience with him. Mary Pierce, the events director, helped us throughout my planning process. She relayed information promptly and clearly. She also met with our caterers on site and gave an additional tour, which was much appreciated. Sue Luna, our day-of coordinator provided by Hans Fahden as part of our package, was absolutely amazing. Everything came together perfectly because of her expertise, her absolute understanding of the property, and her lovely demeanor. She helped me during the planning process to solidify plans and helped elevate my wedding. She also reassured me and helped me feel very comfortable before and during the wedding. She made sure that everything was set up and executed perfectly. It was so nice to see her steadiness throughout the day. I also appreciated her calm energy and lovely spirit.

    The combination of a gorgeous venue and incredibly talented people made my experience at Hans Fahden so absolutely incredible.

    We chose this site for our spring wedding due to the natural beauty and flexibility. I couldn't have been happier with our decision. The owner was very friendly and easy to talk to. We had an issue with our DJ (wasn't on their list) and they were flexible with resolution. We were able to rent the whole site all afternoon and the areas for getting ready were ample. Our guests were amazed with the beauty of the site and we are still getting compliments. Would recommend 100%. Enjoyed the wine, too!

    Our daughter just had a gorgeous, elegant wedding at Hans Fahden. She and all of the guests live east of the Mississippi--meaning that this mom and dad of the bride are the only ones local to this venue. It was astonishing how easy it was to organize the wedding. Anton has chosen excellent vendors who know the site well and who gave excellent advice and delivered what they promised. The grounds were beautiful; the cave for dinner was stunning; the dance hall and veranda were just right for partying. I can not imagine a more perfect celebration.
    Sue Luna was our coordinator who kept things running smoothly; Tim was the pianist (who provided a sound system and accompanied the soloist); Melissa the DJ; Flaxx Florist provided flowers so dazzling they brought tears to my eyes; Joanne and the crew at All Seasons Bistro were personable, professional and feed us well; The Village Bakery topped off our evening with delicious cake and cookies. Extraordinary all the way around.

    The absolute best location in wine country for value, setting etc.
    they provided everything i needed and i was able to have a relatively stress free wedding planning and actual wedding.
    The value is excellent for the pricing.
    The Dinner Wine Cave was mind blowing...the guests LOVED it and have still been unable to stop talking about it almost a month later.
    i will definitely recommend Hans Fahden for a unique and lovely wedding experience

    What can I say about Hans Fahden? I just got married there last weekend, and it was the most beautiful, easy going, and perfect wedding I have ever seen. From the teahouse to the wine caves, there are no bad places in the entire venue. My guests could wander the property and look at all of the amazing scenery, and the photos are sure to be spectacular.
    Antone and his staff are so sweet, and they are always ready to answer any question you have. He has worked to make this place so special, and you and your guests will love it there. I could not have made a better choice on where to have my wedding.

    My wedding at Hans Fahden was amazing. It was everything I had hoped for and more. We had Kit as our coordinator and she was great on the day of the wedding, she ensured everything went off without a hitch and stayed busy behind the scenes. Our guests are still raving about the cave dinner and the relaxed yet classy environment.

    Hans Fahden winery was a spectacular place to get married! From the sweeping Monet-esque gardens, to the tea house, to the unbelievable wine caves, it was a beautiful venue! The only thing that I think they could improve upon is the presentation of the great room (where the dancing takes place). Other than that, it was perfect! The guests couldn't believe how beautiful the wine cave was! It was a great venue, at a great cost.

    Hans Fahden is an incredible ceremony and reception venue - we fell in love with it as soon as we saw it (it was actually the first site that we looked at). The grounds, ceremony site, and tea house are all so beautiful, and the wine cave is just too cool. Everything naturally looks lovely, but it's absolutely gorgeous when set up for a wedding. Guests literally gasped when we opened the cave doors for dinner, and so many people told us that this was one of the most amazing wedding locations that they had ever been to.

    Not only is the site itself wonderful, but so was everyone that we worked with at Hans Fahden. Antone, the owner, is so nice and welcoming; everytime we came to visit the site, he talked to us, gave us a glass of wine, and let us spend as much time wandering around as we liked. He also steered us in the direction of some great vendors, including Park Ave. Catering and Rev. Peadar Dalton.

    Andi was our day-of-coordinator (included in site fee, selected by Hans Fahden), and she did a fabulous job. She made sure that everything ran smoothly; there were no glitches at all, and it was so nice to have someone else take care of all the details on our wedding day (we did not get a wedding planner). We have absolutely no complaints, and are so happy that we chose to have our wedding at Hans Fahden!

    Everyone knows that any good wedding includes a change of scenery. At this venue your guests enter through a garden for the outdoor ceremony, then move to a tea house where hors d'oeuvres and drinks can be served, then to the grand room for introductions and maybe a speech, then into the cave for dinner. Absolutely entertaining, beautiful and intriguing to all. The site provides a day of coordinator but your caterer and dj together will likely do most of the work, very little flowers or decorations are needed due to the beautiful site and their vendor list is fabulous. You will have to book each vendor individually though most work at this site quite often and know eachother well enough to make reccomendations.

    Wonderfully Beautiful place to get married! Even though it was raining, the winery had a cave that was just perfect! The surrounding flowers, lakes, bushes, and trees were beautiful even in the rain - the pictures turned out great! We just had a very small ceremony, but had the whole place to ourselves and the staff made us feel like we were the first and only ones to ever get married there! A+++++++
