We hosted a lovely wedding with the help of the V. Sattui staff, particularly Monica and Melissa handling general event management alongside Raffaella and Chef Stefano leading our catering. Every person we worked with at Sattui was proactive, thoughtful, able to plan and execute an amazing evening for us and our guests, and we will be lifelong customers of the winery with the memories they helped us create on our special day.

We had our wedding in the middle of October 2024, right after record heat waves but the weather thankfully cooled down the weekend of our wedding. We did our ceremony in the lower courtyard which, on top of the lovely stone and accent of wooden beams, doors, and barrels, was also surrounded by beautiful greenery and local plants. The greenery was a perfect baseline for our florals that were only needed to accent the rows of seats and the floral arch for our altar, framed by the wooden doors for the Barrel Tasting Room where we would later have our reception— it was immaculate.

It did begin to sprinkle before the ceremony, but there is cover with clear view of the courtyard below along the upper walkways. Guests kept dry, and the Sattui staff flipped the cushions to the dry side as soon as the weather let down and the ceremony was about to begin. The cloudier weather did not hinder the beauty of the wedding as the courtyard features gorgeous string lights that cut across over the courtyard.

Guests were escorted to the Vittorio Terrace where our guests enjoyed cocktail hour where they had a wide selection of wines we selected from the Sattui catalog. Prior to the wedding, Virginia from V. Sattui, did a fantastic job walking us through a tasting of the Sattui catalog to make the wine list for the night. Beer and seltzers were also available. As it was still raining, the staff promptly set up tents on the lawn in preparation. The only issue we had was that the lighting of the tent would falter at times, possibly due to the weather. My partner and I had access to the interior rooms of the court yard tower to touch up on her dress or just take a moment away from our guests. Bathrooms are located above the courtyard so stairs are required to access, we did not inquire if there were any other bathrooms. We were unaware if there was a private bathroom in the courtyard tower for the bride.

The ceremony took place within the Barrel Tasting Room, it was an impressive backdrop as many of our guests had never seen the amount of barrels that stack and line the walls of the room. We fit about 135 guests with plenty of room to dance. Raffa and her waitstaff did a spectacular job at attending to each of our guests, making sure that all dietary restrictions and accommodation were followed to the smallest detail. Service was prompt, and elegant in their work. Chef Stefano’s dishes were enjoyed by all of our guests.

Guests enjoyed walking around and lounging in the courtyard or the tasting room where more wine was served. The venue had so many picturesque locations and our guests felt that this wedding had been the most elegant they had ever attended. The venue has strong guidelines about using rice, sparklers, confetti, or other paper items for our send off. We thankfully had some LED foam sticks for the dancing that we used instead.

In February, my daughter was married in V.Sattui winery, her dream since she first visited this magical place 8 years ago. It was one of the most amazing nights of our lives. I would not know where to begin to express our gratitude to everyone who was involved in making this night so special. What a joy it was every time we spoke to Alison. She made everything so easy. The wine selection, the setup of the winery, the rehearsal, etc. Mariah coordinated the entire menu and what a great job she did. Four months later, I’m still getting compliments of how fabulous the food and service were that night. During these unprecedented times, the Ferrare/Lopez family would like to thank V.Sattui for giving us a special night to look back on that was shared with so many friends and families. We can’t wait to go back.

The perfect venue! Not only is this winery absolutely stunning, but you will receive the best service and help every step of the way. From day 1 my fiance and I were encapsulated by the staff and how helpful and supportive they were! They made the entire planning process stress-free and you will truly feel like family. I can't thank everyone here enough! We had a dream fairy tale wedding thanks to this venue and all that they offer.
