Gundlach Bundschu Winery

We had our wedding here on 9/21/12. My wedding planner worked with the on-site planner, Heather Mills, to finalize all of the details. The winery was accommodating of all of our requests and was picturesque for an intimate wedding of 30 people. Our wedding was on the vineyard side overlooking the valley, guests walked through a wine cave to an expansive gorgeous view. The cocktail reception was also on the vineyard or back side of the wine cave mountain. There is no electricity over here - for our music we used an acoustic guitarist. For the reception, guests walked back through the wine cave to the open courtyard with our tables, dj, etc. We did not need to bring in lighting or a dance floor and the view was gorgeous! The lake that supplies water to the vines was the backdrop (along with the view of the valley) for the reception and sunset. We danced the night away until 10 p.m. when we had to end the party due to the Sonoma sound ordinance. My only complaints were the bathrooms were not clearly marked and we wish we had more time at the venue but had to have the wedding at 5 p.m. due to the tasting room hours on Friday. Fabulous staff, great location, beautiful setting and scenery and overall unbelieveable experience! I recommend it highly! Don't be nervous about the lack of information or reviews out there - the winery has only recently started hosting more weddings on site. The venue is a hidden gem and entirely worth the information digging to have your special and unfortgettable event here!

We had an amazing wedding at GunBun. Heather the event coordinator for the winery was fabulous to work with! The ceremony overlook was amazing and the courtyard for dancing was perfect. All of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to!

GunBun was both our ceremony and reception venue. The grounds were clean, the vineyard is stunning, and the wines are priced just right. There is a super cute Bungalow available as a ready-room on the property, and one of GunBun's wine experts was there waiting with a tasting for us when we arrived. Heather, their event manager, was friendly and accessible on the day of our wedding. She listened to and met all of our needs. The only reason I docked GunBun a little on Flexibility is because I originally wanted to do the wine hour after our ceremony in the same spot as the ceremony. However, the way things worked out was perfect and in the end I couldn't have asked for more.
