We had many doubts about our “COVID Wedding” going smoothly months before our big day on August 22, 2020. Sarah at Valley Road Vineyards helped us through all of our concerning points, big or small, with no sense of seeming troubled by tasks she may have never even thought about being a thought or issue when she went into this business. Our day was beyond amazing. As all wedding days are quite a whirlwind, all parts of the day went very smoothly and seamlessly, and safe! What a bonus that this venue is on some of the most beautiful land with stunning views; rain or shine. I would recommend Sarah and her team at Valley Road Vineyards 100 percent. We wish we could do it all over again!

Carolyn & Calvin, Thank you for your kind words. It was my pleasure (as well as the rest of Team VRV) to help your day go exactly as you had envisioned -- full of love & laughter, beautiful, fun, and safe! It has been wonderful working with you over the last year and I really appreciate you working with me to handle of all the twists and turns that COVID handed you. Wishing you two all the happiness in the world -- and hoping that we see you back soon (not just in Frosé season)! Best -- Sarah (plus Barbara, Stan, and all of us at Valley Road Vineyards)

Beautiful Venue with Amazing Staff
My husband and I got married at Valley Road Vineyards in September and had a fabulous experience. The vineyard is nestled at the bottom of a gorgeous mountain with beautiful views. The ceremony spot overlooks the mountain and a cute pond. The large, red barn makes a statement and the inside is all white and clean. The wrap around deck on the barn with bistro lighting looks amazing at night. Barbara and Stan and their team were prompt with responses to our questions and extremely personable. Anytime we came to visit, they recognized us and took the time to get to know us. We had our rehearsal dinner in the tasting room and guests couldn't stop commenting on how beautiful and picturesque the evening was. Our plan was to get married outside, but it's 2020 so of course it rained. Sarah and her team helped us pivot to having the entire wedding in the barn and it turned out amazing. Guests could not stop talking about how beautiful the interior of the barn was. Sarah, Barbara, Stan, and every other staff member at Valley Road went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was safe for our guests, and that all of our wants and needs were met. If you're looking for a beautiful mountain view with incredible staff, look no further than Valley Road Vineyards.

Absolutely Amazing
My husband and I had our rehearsal dinner and wedding at this venue on Oct 24. From start to finish, the staff were super easy to communicate with and very accommodating. The venue is absolutely beautiful and offers three different spaces where you can host your event. They will even take you to the top of the vineyard to take pictures with the views of the mountains in the background (which are absolutely stunning). I wish we could get married there all over again! I would definitely recommend this beautiful spot for other couples!
