Beautiful, flawless wedding

I need to start with how kind and warm Melissa at Kunde is. From our first email exchange, Melissa had the kindest, sweetest energy of anyone I had been corresponding with - and at this point I had reached out to 35 vineyards/wineries ranging from Santa Barbara County up to Healdsburg. We flew from Philadelphia to Sonoma within 2 weeks of talking to Melissa and fell in love with the periphery immediately. We booked that day, which was exactly 365 days to our wedding.

Throughout the year, Kunde was flexible and easy to work with. There were clear answers to all of our questions and they were so easy to work with when we said we wanted to have our ceremony at one site and the reception at another site on the property. We were able to choose our reception site the week before we had the wedding - we wanted to wait out the weather to see if we should hold it outdoors in the Winemakers Plaza or inside in the brand new Barrel Building. Oct 7, 2023 was unusually warm, so we stayed outside and had the most beautiful, epic wedding we could have ever imagined! The wine, the 360 views, the lighting — all were perfect. Our guests are still talking about the setting and the wine. We are so happy we chose Kunde and highly recommend to anyone looking in the area!

Best wedding views

Still on cloud 9 from getting married at Kunde just a few weeks ago! Chantal was so amazing to work with and we are grateful for the most magical weekend of our lives! There couldn’t have been a more beautiful and magnificent spot to marry my best friend! The sunset and moon rising views on Boot Hill were absolutely spectacular!! I want to relive the weekend over and over again! We will 100% be coming back for anniversaries!!! Thanks for the best weekend of our lives!!

Best venue we could have possibly chosen!

I can't say enough amazing things about Kunde winery. We planned our wedding from abroad, and only had one day to look at venues. We packed 8 sites into one day, but none of them rivaled how incredible the Boot Hill @ Kunde venue was. You take a a car up a hill, and there's a huge wow factor when you step onto the property - the 360 degree panoramic view at the top of the hill is something else, and completely takes your breath away. You can see all the surrounding vineyards, and where the ceremony is held is between two giant elegant trees, giving the venue a gorgeous rustic feel.
In addition to this, the wines are some of the best Californian wines I've ever had, especially the Red Dirt Red, Malbec, and Red Zin. There's also a stunning house where the bridal party gets ready right at the bottom of the hill, which is massive, and a beautiful area for photos!

To add, what made our day truly amazing was the Kunde team that was dedicated to our wedding. Planning a wedding is already stressful, but Melissa made our experience completely seamless in so many ways. She was totally flexible when we asked for things, responsive to all communications, proactive with recommendations, and extremely professional every step of the way. Everything was done quickly, efficiently, and to perfection - we had absolutely nothing to complain about.

Since our wedding in 2018, we have been back to Kunde for a wine tasting tour every time we've gone back to the US! We are biased, but this is the best winery we've ever been to :)

The most amazing views in wine county!

Literally the best vineyard views in all of wine country!! Our guests were blown away by the Boot Hill venue. We have our ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner on the hill, then shuttled our guests down to the courtyard patio for dancing and dessert. The weather was perfect, everything ran extremely smoothly and we couldn't have asked for a more special day.

My husband and I looked at over 25 venues before we saw Kunde, and when we stepped out on Boot Hill we both immediately knew this was the place for us. Our wedding was beyond spectacular, you cannot get a view like this anywhere else in Napa or Sonoma. Not only that, but the staff, especially Melissa, bent over backwards to make our wedding incredible. Melissa even stockpiled empty wine bottles for us for MONTHS so we could make DIY centerpieces with them. She answered my MILLIONS of emails promptly and always kindly, she never made me feel like I was asking too much or being overbearing even though I DEFINITELY was. Yes, it's a lot of money to pay for a venue, but the incredible setting we had for our wedding was beyond worth it. Our guests were knocked off their feet and the pictures are incredible. Wish we could do it all over again!

Absolutely perfect place to get married! The views are stunning and make it so that there is very little that you have to decorate, they even had bistro lighting. How can you beat huge oak trees, sweeping views of vines, and beautiful lighting. Everyone was in awe of the place. Not only is the place pretty, but the people there are fun to work with and certainly know how to make you feel special. Melissa was a blessing. She helped in ways that I never expected and made the planning process fun. Melissa gave us some recommendations for our other vendors and she was spot on, everyone she suggested was great, and loved her too. We made sure to go to Kunde a few times before the wedding, partly to pick out our wine since you use their wine, and it was relaxing and fun. Melissa was always ready for us. The day of the wedding the girls got to get ready in the house there, which is huge, and Melissa drove the girls up to the site (we wanted this). Kunde was truly spectacular.

I just got married at Kunde on top of Boothill this past October. Our cocktail and reception were also held right there on Boothill. It was absolutely amazing!!! My husband and I fell in love with the place a year before when we were looking for a venue. We went to 10+ vineyards and Kunde was our last stop. We knew immediately it was the place for us! The beauty of Boothill just took my breathe away! In addition to the pure beauty of Kunde, the staff is a pleasure. We worked with Melissa, the event coordinator there. She rocks! She really knows what she is doing. She was so easy to work with and was always easily reached. Kunde is THE PLACE to get married in wine country. No other place compares. Thank you Melissa and the rest of the Kunde staff!

Kunde Estate Winery was amazing! We had our reception in the Dunfillan Ruin. It was incredible everyone thought they were somewhere in Europe. I received so many compliments. If you are looking for a bold, romantic, rustic statement this is the venue. We were completely surrounded by vineyards. The Hospitality Manager Naomi was incredible to work with, she was very professional and on top of everything, paid lots of attention to details. I honestly can say my wedding was perfect!
