A Perfect Day + Perfect Venue

We had the absolute pleasure of getting married at Forestville Vines Winery. We had a shorter timeline for our wedding (about 6-7 months!) and Mark and the team helped us achieve everything we wanted. We had never been to the winery before and toured in the winter while it was covered in snow, but the tour was so informative we had faith in the people and booked a couple days later! Budget-wise, Forestville was very affordable, and the big reason we chose it over other venues was the price and the ability to really DIY a lot of aspects (like table cloths, settings, etc). This is exactly the venue for you if you're someone who wants to have a heavier creative hand in the process. During our planning process, we would frequently reach out to Mark with questions (are real candles okay, can we move stuff, etc), and Mark was always quick to answer. We toured the venue again in May a couple months before our own wedding, and got to see the venue in all of its beauty. The team treated us wonderfully and seemed just as excited as us about our wedding. They were so accommodating throughout the entire process, and helped everything go so smoothly. Day-of went great, and we loved having pizza at the wedding. Super thankful to Mark and the team for giving us a absolutely beautiful place to get married!

Everything and more.

My wedding weekend was so fun and beautiful thanks to Forestville Vines. They had yummy catering options, were very flexible with decorating, and any hiccups were immediately smoothed over. I was actually able to enjoy my wedding day because I knew their team had everything under control. I love the atmosphere, I love the location and I love how my wedding turned out. Our current plan is to go to their location on our wedding anniversaries because they did so much to help us out.

Wonderful Experience

Forestville was the perfect place to have our Wedding. We got lucky with the
weather and were able to have our Ceremony outside by the vineyard. It was nice being able to go to a facility that could provide food, wine and beer. The staff did a great job and everyone had a really great time.

We had a wonderful Wedding at the Vineyard.

The Best time ever

We have been customers of the Winery for about 3 years. My husband popped the question there, I had my bridal shower there so when it came time to find the perfect place and people to host our wedding it was pretty easy. The owners and staff took care of everything including a last minute alteration to one of my Brides Maids dress. It was a perfect experience.

Beautiful Venue, excellent service and delicious food. Best night of my life

The venue was beautiful. We had a rustic themed wedding and the building and vineyard were decorated beautifully. Staff was amazing and very supportive. We had a cash bar for beer and wine with a server on site. The meal was a buffet of BBQ pork and chicken. With sides. We worked with local companies for our cake and flowers.
