    Stunning Venue & Exceptional Team

    Domenico Winery was the perfect venue for our wedding reception. From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless, thoughtful, and genuinely stress-free - which is exactly what every couple hopes for.

    The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous and truly a hidden gem. It has a timeless, romantic winery feel while still feeling polished and elevated. The space flowed beautifully for a reception, and our guests could not stop commenting on how stunning everything looked.

    A huge shoutout to Bruna, our onsite coordinator, who was truly amazing. She was calm, organized, and incredibly attentive, making sure every detail was handled so we could fully relax and enjoy the night. Having her there made the entire evening feel effortless. The Domenico team clearly knows what they’re doing.

    If you’re looking for a beautiful reception venue with an exceptional team that makes the process easy and the celebration unforgettable, Domenico Winery is an incredible choice.

    Lovely venue

    Our wedding was on September 2025 and we are glad to have it here. The food was delicious! We love the amount of space and lighting of the area. We had over 200 guests and they were all able to fit comfortably. Beautiful atmosphere and aesthetically stunning. Thank you Domenico’s Winery San Carlos!

    Absolutely Gorgeous Venue

    ABSOLUTELY book this venue for your wedding!!! Do NOT hesitate!!! I’ve been here twice before for a holiday and an adoption party, and knew back then that I wanted to have our wedding here….and it was before they remodeled it! Ashley, Marina and Bruna made it the best day ever! The whole process of planning the wedding to the actual day was so easy and effortless. They were very accommodating to all of our needs and decisions. When our wedding day came….it was absolutely everything that we (or I should say I lol) envisioned. We 💯% recommend this venue to celebrate your big day!!! You won’t be disappointed!

    June 22nd Wedding at Domenico coordinated by Bruna Medeiros

    From the very moment we stepped on location of the venue, Bruna went above and beyond to make sure she was using all of her resources to cater to not only the bride and groom, but also to our parents who were heavily involved in the planning process. We all had a voice that was heard and felt very welcome requesting multiple additions and exclusions to the wedding packages. Bruna helped us tailor the perfect fit to our event all while working within our budget. Domenico has a lot of trusted vendors to refer for outside food, photography, entertainment, and other services. On the day of the wedding everything went exactly the way we had planned in fact, it went better. We had a stress free transition through all parts of the event and had complete trust that she would step in to solve any issue that arose. If we could do it all over again with Bruna as our coordinator we would. I highly recommend Domenico Wine and Osteria as a venue for any potential couple seeking an intimate and aesthetically pleasing place for their special celebration.

    Best Day of my Life

    I know it’s a cliche, but I’m just happy it was true for us! Domenico gives the vibe of being outside with the high ceilings and rustic atmosphere and yet gives you the warmth and shelter of being inside. A solid dance floor was a top priority for me, and it did not disappoint. The food was fantastic with plenty of options we got to sample. They were very accommodating of dietary restrictions (huge for me). Bruna was simply a dream. They were so responsive, helpful, and caring. All the details came together such that we could really enjoy the day and savor the memories. I should have written this review on my laptop so I could write more. But in short, as my now husband just said, “I’d go there if I got married again.” haha Very grateful for an amazing celebration!

    Great experience planning

    Domenico winery made our wedding for us. The first question our coordinator asked us was what we wanted from our wedding and we said as stress free as possible. They did just that. Everything came together so easily once we did the tasting night and knew exactly what food, drinks, color scheme down to type of chairs. We were allowed to keep things simple and add more a la carte food items as we saw fit. The Syrah room upstairs was well used for me to get ready and also do the tea ceremony. Also gave my husband and I a moment to ourselves in between the tightly packed evening. Our coordinator Bruna was amazing and kept us on a smooth schedule. Thank you for everything Domenico Winery! This was by far our best decision to pick this venue.

    Domenico Review

    We had our wedding at Domenico Winery on 10/26/24. From start to finish, our experience at Domenico Winery was always top notch quality. We worked with Karla throughout the process and couldn’t have been more happy to work with her. Karla’s professionalism and hospitality really shined throughout our wedding planning process. Karla was always quick to reply to our wedding planner and was always willing to help us find ways to save money. She was constantly willing to meet us for meetings and always made sure we made our deadlines. On our wedding day, she went above and beyond to make sure all our needs were met, and even help us set up some tables for last minute guests. The decorations, food, and lights were exactly how we pictured it. The Domenico Winery team executed everything on our contract extremely well. All of our guests kept on raving about the food and drinks. The ambiance of the whole venue was very cozy and comforting despite having 160 guests present for our wedding. Please do not hesitate to use Domenico Winery as your venue, if you’re looking for a place that has good food, good atmosphere, and a great staff! And please use Karla to help you with your wedding planning process!

    Amazing Venue and Amazing Staff

    Everything about my experience with Domenico was great. Karla and Bruna made planning our wedding and reception as seamless as possible. They were flexible, extremely helpful, and proactive. From our first tour to the clean up at the end of the party was taken care of by the team. I highly recommend having a wedding at Domenico.

    Beautiful space, caring professionals!

    My husband and I had our wedding reception at Domenico Winery in October 2024. Working with Bruna was such an easy, fun and collaborative experience!
    She genuinely cares about the people she works with and we cannot thank her enough for all the love and care she showed us during the entire process to the day of. Everything I wanted came to life! The entire team at Domenico Winery made our wedding day so special and beautiful! Everyone is so professional and really knows what they are doing. They have a great list of preferred vendors that made the process super easy when choosing a photographer etc. We had gorgeous uplighting and cold sparks that really lit up the room. The level of wow was up there! Our party was so fun! The space felt dreamy, elegant, and timeless with the checkered dance floor we chose, the draping, gorgeous flowers and candles! Everyone loved the food - shout out to Chef Gary! They said it was the best wedding food they'd ever had. The drinks were amazing, including the espresso martini bar (wow factor)! We had a band, photo booth, entertainment, and DJ's - our timeline was full, and it all happened in an organic way. I wouldn't change a thing except if I could slow that special day down to savor every second. Our wedding is now one of my family and I's favorite memories. Our guests also really enjoyed the late night pizzas, cookie bar, and donut bar that Domenico offered, YUM! The wine is amazing, we danced the night away, and had an amazing time. Thank you again especially to Bruna, Marina, Gloria Chirichillo & family, Chef Gary, Karla, Aaron, Pia and everyone who helped make our night so incredible. I would do it again in a heartbeat!

    Everything we wanted

    This is a late review, but my lateness doesn't take away from Domenico's awesomeness.

    My husband and I had our wedding at Domenico's in October 2023 and it was so amazing, we're still riding on that high. We opted for Domenico's because they take care of nearly everything, the food and drinks, the set-up rentals, dinner service, and vendor coordination. We received many compliments on the food; months later people were still raving about the beef short ribs. Our guests also loved the mini donut bar during dance time. One of my family members from overseas was so impressed they asked "Wow, are all American weddings like this?"

    Rebekah, our day-of coordinator, but was so fantastic and easy to work with, it was almost like she was our full time planner. She walked us through all the decision making and gave helpful suggestions when we needed nudging or were unsure. She took extra time during our wedding rehearsal to make sure everyone understood where they were supposed to go. During the actual ceremony, she handled a minor crisis when a couple of our sponsors arrived late. During the reception, she escorted out a group of party crashers. Rebekah really took care of us.

    Thanks Domenico, our wedding was everything we hoped and wanted it to be.

    All inclusive wedding planning

    We began our wedding planning 15 months prior to the event and began working with our wedding coordinator (Rebekah Jacobsen) to the end. Rebekah was kind, patient, smart, knowledgeable, and very organized. She helped us through every step and made my dreams come true! Highly recommend Domenico’s for all inclusive wedding.

    Dominco Winery went above and be you to make our day memorable. Our guests still rave about the food. Bruna was very responsive and was centered around mine and husbands wants and always made us feel heard.

    A dream to work with!

    I worked with Rebekah and team as a vendor and words do not describe how amazing this team and venue is!!! They go above and beyond for their clients and vendors and create an overall seamless experience for everyone. The execution is on point and to a t!

    I recommend Domenico if you’re looking for a venue that does it all and makes sure you are taken care of from beginning to end.

    10/10!!!!!!

    June 2023 Wedding

    Me and my wife held our reception at Domenico and we couldn’t have been happier with the venue, its staff and the location.

    We had a guest count of 230ish guests and the space could have had more. The catwalk was super cool to do an entrance. The venue felt spacious and intimate at the same time. The food was delicious and the bar service was great.

    The location in San Carlos was very central for us and our guest. There is a brewery near by where we hosted an event and it’s close to SFO and other hotels in the area.

    Rebekah and Karla were amazing to work with and provided great recommendations for food, vendors, layout things to consider and were very communicative during the planning process. Rebekah was great with providing several solutions to our floor plan requests and it was great having here be there the day of to help us set up. They even let us extend an additional hour 30 minutes before we were set to end because we were having so much fun.

    We highly recommend this place to anyone looking to plan their wedding or reception in the Bay Area!

    Incredible all around!

    We got married here in April of this year and had booked the venue early. The team took great care of us and made our wedding spectacular. Their recommended vendors are fabulous and we cannot recommend it enough! Rebecca, Marina, and the whole team—thank you so much for your hard work! I would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone looking for a wedding venue. The food options were delicious and the bar was fabulous. We got so many compliments on the service and they made it so easy and stress free for us!

    Outstanding!

    I really cannot say enough about my experience at Domenico Winery. The staff that not only helped my plan my wedding, but the staff that was on-site the day of was outstanding. Everyone went above and beyond to ensure that we had the wedding we dreamed of. Every last detail was taken care of! I was able to relax the day of my wedding because I knew I was in good hands. I would recommend a million times and definitely will host another event at this location.

    Wonderful Wedding Experience

    We loved everything about our wedding experience at Dominico. They were professional and always available to help. The atmosphere is beautiful and romantic. Food was great and the donut bar was so fun. The balcony was fun to watch the dancing from and having the extra room upstairs for the wedding party and kids was great. They even put out some toys / activities for the little ones. Would definitely do it all over again.

    We love Domenico!

    Right when we walked in to Domenico, we knew we had found our wedding venue. We initially spoke to Marina, who helped us with the entire process, all the way up to our wedding date. Marina did a great job laying out all of the options that Domenico offers and helped us visualize what our potential wedding would look like. She answered all of our questions thoroughly and always took enough time to make sure we had all of our answers. After we put a deposit down, Marina and her team were excellent at keeping in touch with us and updating us with anything we needed to know about the process. Domenico was an easy choice for us because they felt like a one-stop shop for what we needed. They have in-house catering, full bar and bartenders, linens, chairs, and a helpful list of preferred vendors. On the day of our wedding, Marina and her team not only made everything seamless, but also ensured that our day was perfect. The staff was on top of everything, and were super friendly. The bartenders were efficient and nice to our guests. The food and desserts were amazing. Marina and her team made sure we were on schedule throughout our day, starting from getting ready all the way to the very last minute of our day. They also made it a point that we got to enjoy our drinks and food as well, which mean a lot to us. Overall, Domenico provided us with the perfect wedding day, even better than we could have imagined. Our guests had a great time; we had a great time. We are beyond happy that we chose Domenico!

    The Wedding of our Dreams

    We had our wedding on Oct. 8, 2022 at the Domenico Winery and it was an absolute dream! From the start of planning to the wedding day, it was so incredibly smooth and it is much thanks to Marina and the amazing team at Domenico. The food and drinks were delicious; our guests had an awesome time! We’d recommend this venue without hesitation and would be ecstatic to attend another event there as we know it’d be a great time.

    Now for some details…

    The space:
    The cask room is lovely without additional decor, but we added the barrel tea lights and it made the room so romantic. We loved the included furniture (the long pine table, the bar, the sofa set), and the outdoor space unexpectedly served for some awesome nighttime photos! We had access to the spacious Syrah suite upstairs, which served for an excellent changing/warm up space (we did a surprise aerial hoop first dance). The Syrah suite also has a balcony that overlooks the cask room, which was such a great way to take in the beautiful reception space as a whole. I was selfishly stoked that there was a spacious private bathroom next to the Syrah suite that made going to the restroom in a gown by myself pretty easy. Also, the walkway down the staircase made for an incredible grand entrance!

    Rentals and the tasting:
    Our tasting was about 4 months before our wedding. It was set up as an event for the next season’s couples, and they gave each couple a folder of information including their current proposal, the menu options, and a scorecard for each individual to make notes during the tasting. The food was delicious, and we were definitely stuffed by the end of the night. The bar had prepared a handful of signature cocktails that were creative and tasty. They set up a variety of guest table / sweetheart table arrangements, and included pricing information for each setup. They also had a binder of all the available linen rentals, which proved useful as seeing it in person was a bit different from seeing the options online. Being able to handle three different areas of the wedding (venue space, rentals, catering) at once in person was just such a timesaver. It really was such a fun and relaxed way to do a tasting as all the venue coordinators were there to answer questions, but my husband and I also had time to speak privately. Marina checked in with us throughout the night, and we did find out that we were able to rent a stage through Domenico for the band (super convenient). All in all it was like going on a fun and productive date!

    The team, the tools, and the final walkthrough:
    All the folks that we had the chance to meet at Domenico were friendly and professional, and we were especially grateful we got to work with Marina. She handled all our questions promptly and thoroughly, and she was organized throughout planning. We got our initial floor plan shortly after signing, which helped immensely when we were discussing with our other vendors about the day (many of which we found from Domenico’s preferred vendor list - they were all amazing). I really liked that they had a client portal that easily allowed us to check on the current proposal, our rentals, and catering details. It was also incredibly simple to make payments and I appreciated the automated reminders when a payment due date was coming up. Our final walkthrough was about a month before the wedding, and it was efficient. We sorted out our final floor plan, walked through our timeline, finalized all the rentals, and decided on our signature drinks. I was so relieved when Marina presented us with a document of all the fun signature drinks they’ve done, as I didn't have a go-to drink like my husband. They handled making the bar sign and it was actually so cute. We left our final walkthrough excited and confident that the wedding was going to be great.

    The rehearsal (first dance):
    We did our ceremony rehearsal off-site for logistical reasons, but we did have a rehearsal at Domenico for our first dance. For our first dance my husband and I did a surprise aerial hoop doubles performance, and Domenico’s cask room conveniently has a permanent rigging point. Marina graciously scheduled us in the Monday before our wedding so that our rigger (who we also found through Marina) could set up the rigging apparatus and we could practice our dance on-site before the big day. Marina was super helpful throughout the rehearsal, handling all the issues that came up while we set up and practiced.

    The big day:
    The wedding was incredible. Everything went according to plan, and if there were any issues they were resolved before I found out. We were kindly brought appetizers during cocktail hour as we were warming up in the Syrah suite, and man they were good. Our dinners were delicious, the drinks were great, they made sure our vendors ate, everything was just perfect. Our guests had an amazing time, and I must say that it would not have been possible without Marina, the incredible team at Domenico Winery, and the awesome vendors we found through them!

    The wedding reception of our dreams!

    My husband and I chose Domenico Winery as our wedding reception venue, and we couldn't have been happier! We live close to the winery, so when we stopped by one day, we knew that it would be the perfect venue for our reception! From day one, the staff at Domenico greeted us with open arms, and we were so impressed by how welcoming, knowledgeable, and organized the staff was.

    Wedding planning can be extremely daunting, but Domenico helped make the planning process so much easier! Through Domenico, we booked our catering, tables, chairs, linens, napkins, utensils, chargers, barrel tea lights, open bar, mini donut station, and popcorn machine! The venue also has a sound system already set up, as well as a TV where we were able to share our wedding slideshow, which played throughout the party. We were so incredibly relieved that Domenico was able to help us with all of the rentals, and that was such amazing value for the price we paid. We couldn't believe how many things we were able to do through Domenico, and they were extremely accommodating when we shared our vision and what we wanted to do. We found the perfect copper chargers and utensils with their guidance, and it fit our reception aesthetic perfectly. And with COVID, the staff at Domenico was extremely kind; their staff did the COVID check-in for our guests as they arrived (they checked temperatures, immunization status, and test results for our guests as they walked in). The reception really felt stress-free, and our guests had so much fun! When it came to our signature cocktails, the staff was also extremely open to our ideas, and executed our drinks perfectly! Our friends loved the drinks, and everyone was so happy with the food, beverages, and dessert - especially the live mini donut station! We also booked the private Syrah Suite for our wedding party to spend time before the wedding guests arrived, and it was the perfect space for us all to bond, practice our grand entrances, and enjoy snacks and beverages before the party got started. It also came with a full-length mirror and a private bathroom, which I personally loved having access to as the bride!

    Thank you so much to Karla, Marina, and the entire Domenico team. We would absolutely book another event with Domenico, and we are so happy that we frequently get to visit and eat the delicious food at their Osteria and just remember our amazing wedding reception. Thank you, Domenico Winery!

    Not your average winery wedding

    I am a former bride who got married at Domenico Winery on Friday October 1, 2021. We had 75 guests and had both our ceremony and reception in Domenico's cask room. I always envisioned myself getting married at a winery but was worried I would not be able to afford a winery venue. Choosing Domenico as our wedding venue was literally a dream come true. The only thing missing was an actual vineyard, but everything that was included in our wedding package made up for it. The prices are not only affordable, but the quality of the food, wine, and the venue itself is outstanding.

    My wedding experience with Domenico was pleasant from the moment I sent my first email inquiry until the day of our wedding. I do not believe perfection exists, but the entire staff at Domenico was pretty close to perfect. The communication was always timely, everyone was friendly, and all of the food and wine was delicious. I am an extremely detail oriented person and can honestly say that the vision I had for my wedding was even better in reality with the help of Marina and the staff that worked on our wedding day. They were attentive, professional, and made sure everyone had everything they needed throughout the entire evening.

    If you follow Domenico Caters on Instagram, you can see more pictures of how the cask room can be transformed. Even with having our ceremony and reception in the same space, it never felt too small or too spacious. There are so many flexible options when it comes to the layout of the cask room. Being able to make our grand entrance down a staircase and having a small patio for guests to step out right next to a bar are only a couple of the perks.

    Plus, how many people can say they can visit their wedding venue whenever they want? I love being able to eat and drink at Domenico's Osteria and then walk into the cask room afterwards. It is so special being able to step back into the room where our wedding took place.

    Perfect venue for any event

    My husband and I got married at Domenico Winery at the end of Feb 2020 right before the pandemic shutdown. We had the best night and our guests still talk about how breathtaking and amazing our venue was. First, communicating with the event staff was a breeze. They answered all my questions and were very responsive. They had food tasting events that my husband and I enjoyed. We got to taste their menu, drink wine, and get a chance to see different ways our venue could be set up in terms of types of tables, chairs, and plate settings. We had no problem scheduling our walkthru and the team was very professional when interacting with us and our vendors. Secondly, the food and wine/drinks were EXCELLENT. I was able to try most of the food served and guests have told me how much they enjoyed the food. We had the stuffed pork, brocollini, and seabass. They wine flowed all night long. You know it was good and everyone had a good time, when we were trying to piece together events of the night before! Third, it was definitely within our budget and it was easy to find and adjust things to make sure we stayed within budget. Plus, they were very transparent. No hidden fees. I am still so pleasantly shocked that we got such a beautiful venue with great food and wine for the price we paid. Last but not the least, the most obvious thing i love about this venue is the venue itself. It is so spacious! It is rustic and industrial. I love the wine barrels, exposed brick, spherical light fixtures, The big bar, the modern bathrooms, and the balcony entrance It is the perfect venue for any event!

    Gorgeous venue that makes your wedding planning as easy as can be!

    Domenico Winery was the PERFECT place to hold my wedding reception. I was in search of a venue that had character, could hold a lot of people (we had over 200 guests), and could serve delicious food and drink without us needing to hire outside vendors. Domenico met these requirements and then some!

    What initially drew me in were the gorgeous photos of Domenico's Cask Room. With a January wedding, I wanted my reception to feel warm and cozy, while still being elegant. That is exactly how I would describe Domenico's Cask Room. The wooden barrels, the brick, the iron on the staircase, the gorgeous bar, and the lighting made this venue a combination of rustic, industrial, and classy.

    Not only did Domenico have the exact look I was going for, but the food and drink were exceptional. They accommodate for a wide range of dietary restrictions, and their vegan and gluten free options are just as tantalizing as their meat options. I honestly still dream about the food at my wedding...it was absolutely delicious!

    Though the look of the venue, the taste of the food, and the quality of the drink are all great reasons to book Domenico, I have to say my favorite part was the professionalism of the staff and the completeness of the package offered. Once we signed our contract, I did not need to worry about a thing. The staff was communicative, creating the seating arrangements was a breeze, and deciding on the set up of the room took no time at all. They were also extremely understanding when it came to last minute family additions and slight menu changes. The staff handled all of the set up, and the venue provided the chairs, tables, linens, cutlery, dishware, and more! This meant we did not need to deal with any outside vendors (except for the wedding cake). It made the planning significantly easier (especially for a wedding of that size). I did not worry about a thing on the day of the wedding, and I don't know many brides who can say that.

    Thank you Domenico Winery for giving me the wedding of my dreams! The food and drink was delicious, the venue was stunning, and your staff pulled the whole event off without a single hitch. You made the wedding a breeze to plan, and I am SO thankful we found you.

    Stunning, Awesome, Perfect Venue

    From our initial meeting we felt that Domenico shared our vision for our big day. We were surprised when we walked in the venue at how amazing it was. It’s kind of in an industrial area and the outside is nice but unassuming, but when we walked in we knew it was the right place. Our guests said the exact same thing, and were surprised how elegant and comfortable it felt inside the hall.
    Anyway, our biggest pet peeve for wedding is that the food is almost always bad. We decided to go with dining “stations” and picked a bunch of our favorites. We knew from the tastings (we had the option to attend THREE) that the food was going to be (unusually) good, but everybody was surprised at HOW good everything was. Of course we went with the donut bar and it was a hit!
    So, venue was beautiful, food was great, and we were so happy with communication and the overall experience we had at Domenico. I know that some of our guests were actually going to try and schedule some of their personal and company events at Domenico after attending our wedding.
    I could go on and on, but to make a long story short, we are SO happy we chose Domenico for our most important event. You will be too!

    Gorgeous, romantic, intimate...

    I could go on! This was the first reception venue that we looked at and when we walked in immediately felt the warmth of walking into a family’s house! We were immediately greeted and provide with a very well put together wedding package/folder. Domenico was definitely at the top of our price range but completely worth every penny as almost everything was included, food, alcoholic beverages dance floor, tables, chairs and linens. Let’s not forget the incredibly romantic lighting. Plus, it was so fun to be presented coming across the catwalk and down the stairs. All of our guests truly enjoyed their experience as well as her very delicious food! They are still talking about it today, almost 2 years later. Our wedding coordinator for Domenico was totally on top of everything and very responsive to all of my questions. You do have to get a Day of Coordinator as Domenico does not provide one as well as a DJ. The other thing to note is that they aren’t too keen on having the guests be involved with the day of things. For example, my good friend made out cake and had to set it up there before coming to the church for the actual ceremony. She wasn’t in the wedding party, but it was still tight. Then immediately after the ceremony she had to get back to Domenico to put the finishing touches on the cake. I didn’t hear any fuss about that from Domenico, but maybe my day of coordinator didn’t tell me. Either way, you will be SO happy you choose this venue!! I will never our wedding there and how much fun we had. Thank you Domenico Winery!!!!

    Beautiful Wedding Reception

    My husband and I toured at least 4 different venues before coming to check out Domenico's. When we walked in, we knew it was exactly what we wanted. It was very spacious, the wine barrels are beautiful, the market lighting--everything about it, we loved. Because the venue is already so naturally beautiful, we didn't have to worry about adding any additional decor, which was great. As a bride, the less little details I had to worry about, the better.

    We worked primarily with Jenni and also worked with Tani--both were wonderful. Easy to communicate with, corresponded primarily through email, they were both so sweet and easy to work with.

    The different options of packages and the ability to customize the food and drink menu was great. There were different bar packages, the option for plated or buffet style dinners, or food stations, carving stations, and so much more. I think it helped us get what we wanted to serve to our guests while also being able to stay within our budget.

    I loved that they worked directly with a rental company for tables, linens, chairs, etc, so I also didn't have to worry about that. I just let them know what sort of tables, linens and chairs I wanted.

    The day of our wedding, the entire staff who worked our wedding was great; Tani, the wait staff, the bartenders. My guests commented how the bartenders were super cool and friendly, & for ours guests to remember that and to mention it to me, showed they provided excellent customer service. This made me happy, knowing my guests were treated well, adding to the overall good vibes of the wedding.

    I had about 165 guests, a large dance floor, and ample space for our guests to mingle around the bar area. (It could definitely hold more than 200 guests, comfortably.) I am so so happy that we celebrated our wedding reception here & I would definitely recommend it to any future brides!

    Amazing Wedding Venue

    We had a great experience with Domenico Winery. Everyone really worked with us to make our dream wedding come true! Our party size of 400 was not easy to handle but the Domenico Wintery Team made the night seamless. We highly recommend this as a venue!!! Our guests also really enjoyed themselves and loved the venue, servers, and bartenders!

    A hidden gem for weddings!

    If you are in the market for an incredible venue and on a budget that won't leave you and your loved one in debt, this is where you need to be. I can't believe we got so lucky as to find Marina and her team at Domenico. They've been around long enough and have so many details all figured out, the space is GORGEOUS and recently updated. The staff is super professional and accomodating. Oh... and the wine is freaking amazing!

    Perfect Wedding Reception Venue

    My husband and I had our August 2019 wedding reception at Domenico Winery, and we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! The venue itself is stunningly beautiful and accommodated our 160 guests with ease. The food was fantastic and we got so many compliments on it. We opted for the donut bar which the guests (and us) loved! The staff was really attentive and made the day flow seamlessly. Would recommend this place 100%!!

    Unexpected elegance in an industrial area

    Domenico Winery was such a surprise when we went to check out the venue. It's in an industrial area but once you step inside you forget where you are as the reception hall is full of string lights with wine barrels stacked to the ceiling. The bar area is super gorgeous with the large mirror. We are so excited to have our reception here. Ps the wines are good as well!

    Top notch event space

    Domenico Winery is a hidden gem tucked away in an unassuming industrial area of San Carlos. Upon entry, there was a cool little space at the entrance where our guests hung out during cocktail hour. Available to the Bridal Party, upon request, we had a private area/room upstairs for our own use (hangout before the grand entrance, hide and eat appetizers, there was even a little balcony overlooking the main reception area). The Cask Room is the main reception space where Domenico hosted our evening wedding reception for 330 people (including vendors). The event space was more than enough to accommodate our needs -- 34 dinner tables, DJ, live-band, photobooth, etc. The venue really doesn’t need much to have a nice semi-formal/formal feel, it definitely has the winery vibe without having to drive all the way up to Napa or out to the Tri-Valley area.

    We worked closely with Azeema and she was a pivotal piece in bringing our vision to life. Nobody really knew this, but we booked Domenico Winery less than 4 months from our wedding day, which I think says a lot about Azeema and her ability to put a wedding reception together with very little time to work with. She always made herself available and was very accommodating of our needs and since we had such a big guest count which included both cocktail hour and dinner we had a ton of logistics to work out. Azeema quickly answered any and all of our questions and made sure we had everything we needed for our reception. She worked with our day-of coordinator to make sure there were no worries leading up to the big day. We knew the food and drinks would be a hit because we attended two tastings ahead of the reception where we were able to taste all the different food options, bar offerings, desserts, etc. The tastings were a great opportunity to be able to see how the venue would look with different table, linen, plate setting, and chair configurations. Azeema personally checked in with us whenever we went out to the tasting events to see if anything caught our eye or if we were interested in certain set-ups. Overall, it was a pleasure working with Azeema and the Domenico Winery staff. We received so many great compliments from our family and friends about the venue -- how it looked, how everything was set up, and how nobody even knew it was there, well it’s there and available for your next event. Everything really came together and looked great, far exceeding my expectations. I would highly recommend Domenico Winery, not just as a wedding venue but for any event, it’s a really great place with wonderful staff, we truly lucked out with landing Domenico Winery for our reception.

    A Fabulous Venue: Domenico Winery

    The entire staff of Domenico Winery was very helpful and responsive to our needs. I changed the menu a couple of times and the staff was not the least bit fazed by this. The food and drink were excellent, served in a beautiful, professional, and plentiful manner. The venue is lovely, and even though this was a rehearsal dinner, not the wedding, everyone commented that it could have been the wedding itself. We were thrilled with the outcome of the entire evening and the price was fair especially for a beautiful venue in the Bay Area.

    A Dream Come True

    I can't recommend Domenico Winery enough! Our wedding reception was flawless, thanks to the amazing work of Domenico. Working with Marina and her team was an absolutely pleasure! I was planning my wedding from Australia and Marina went out of her way to make sure every last detail was planned with me (we literally had hundreds of emails over the course of 9 months!) She would arrange for special tastings, meet with me when I was in town and moved around her schedule to accommodate my needs (which was very much appreciated!) I am so grateful to have worked with these kind people, the service was tremendous and the reception was breathtaking. My guests (a lot of whom are french!) loved the food and the Domenico wine was sensational. I can't speak highly enough of Domenico. Thank you for making my wedding so special.

    I would highly recommend Domenico for your future wedding if you love winery. This place is not only beautiful and romantic inside, the staff and event planner are amazing. The food was so delicious and they have many great options for you and your guest. We first fell in love with this place of its charm and location. Keeping our guest in the same city for the ceremony. Please check out this Venue if you are looking for a big space, and wine and food altogether. Thanks Domenico!!

    I remembered a year and a half ago my fiance and I discovered Domenico Winery on page 14 or so of the Wedding Wire in my search. We visited several venues beforehand but one of our key deciding factors was to have a convenient location since we did not want our guests to go thru a long drive, tight winding mountain roads or in intense summer heat. Domenico Winery was perfect. Once we walked inside we knew this venue was the one, This venue has a rustic/industrial like ambience, and the staff is super friendly. Setting up an appointment with Marina and Teresita to create a contract, make adjustments was very easy. Prior to this we did not know much about wine, their staff (especially Michael) was very good in curating their wines to us, we found that we love there sweeter and medium bodied red wines as well as their California Rose and Vignier white wines.

    This venue allowed us to do a rehearsal the day before at no extra cost, allowed us to do a Chinese tea ceremony before, has great selections of entree foods (even an Asian Fusion), a large selection of appetizers to choose from and they were very accommodating in making food substitutions. Plus they're dog friendly! Many of our guests raved about the stuffed seabass with olives and their cheese plates, their go-to dessert vendor was pretty good too! By the time our wedding day came they took care of all the table and candle arrangements and setup. The only thing we had to do was get the things we brought ourselves ie: name cards, table numbers and flowers ready. Our guests had a blast plus we ordered the wine bottling activity to give our guests something to bring back as a wedding gift. While we most likely won't have a huge event here again, we will continue to come to this winery simply because of the great tasting wines and always tell our friends about this place. Domenico Winery will always hold a special place in our hearts for making our dream wedding come to life!

    Domenico Winery is a hidden gem! We fell in love with the venue the moment we walked through the door and knew it would be the perfect place for our wedding reception. Our guests kept commenting to us throughout our reception how awesome the winery was and that it was such a great venue!

All the serving staff and bartenders were fun and friendly and very accommodating. We would highly recommend Domenico Winery to anyone looking for a classy venue for their wedding or special event.

    Domenico totally met all my expectations in a wedding venue and even surpassed them! Marina and Taylor were very flexible, organized and super helpful. Everyone at this venue was so easy to work with from the coordinators, to the bartenders, to the catering manager. Our guests RAVED about the food. It is such a hidden gem and I would use them again in a heartbeat.

    We highly recommend Marina and the entire crew at Domenico Winery! They did an amazing job creating a 1920s themed wedding for us, and our guests still can't stop talking about how unique our wedding was! Thank you Marina!

    Domenico Winery helped give me and my husband the wedding of our dreams! It's definitely the hidden gem of San Carlos! To start, the staff is so friendly and provides top-notch service. The Director of Events (Marina) is incredible! She is so organized, professional and responsive (even if you send her a ton of emails -- which I definitely did). She always makes time to meet with you, and goes out of her way to make sure your wedding layout is exactly what you wanted. Marina was a dream to work with!

    Next, the tables, table cloths and chairs are taken care of by the winery. While you have to pay for some rentals, the winery has a handful of 60" rounds, cocktail tables and table cloths that you can use for free! This is something we really appreciated, as it definitely saved us $100 or so.

    Additionally, the wine is so yummy! My husband and I went out of our way to go to a few tastings and events at the winery before our wedding to not only see our beautiful venue and the amazing staff, but also drink some of the fabulous wine! The week leading up to the wedding we picked our wines, which was a difficult decision as we loved all of them! Our guests also complimented us on the wine choices. There is also an option to have a full bar -- something we also decided to get, which was well worth the added funds!

    Lastly, the ambiance is phenomenal!! The whole space is decorated like a tasting room -- wine barrels around the perimeter of the space. Once the overhead lights are turned off, the barrels are decorated with real-flame tea lights and the market lights are flicked on, the space is absolutely breathtaking!! Nearly all of our 120 guests told us they were blown away by the romantic lighting and beauty of the venue -- something most weren't expecting from a winery in San Carlos.

    I really can't say enough about Domenico Winery. It is the perfect venue for anyone looking for a local venue with a romantic feel. Do yourself a favor and check it out!

    I had always pictured my wedding reception to be at a winery. So when my husband and I got engaged last year we went on the search for the perfect venue to host our wedding reception. Domenico Winery was at the top of our list because it was spacious and it fit our budget. I especially loved the chandelier, the large bar area, the wine barrels and the market lights. The wedding package they offered us came with chair and table rentals and beverage service and even a champagne toast for our guests. I also liked that we got to choose our own food vendors, unlike other reception venues we were looking at. Marina, the coordinator, gave us a wine tasting a few weeks before the wedding to choose the wines for the reception and they were all delicious! The vendors they selected for the signature drinks bar were very professional and the drinks were so good! They even iced the martini glasses so they would keep cool before serving the drinks in them. Marina also allowed me to use a private bathroom at the winery which was so helpful. They also allowed us to use their large flat screen TVs for the slideshow which saved us money. Marina was especially helpful in guiding me in the whole planning process. She was very attentive to all my questions through email and helped me with the day of coordinating. My vendors were allowed to go in 6 hours before the start time to set up. Which made them all really happy! We got married on June 20, 2015 and it was incredible! All of our guests were impressed with the jaw dropping decor provided by their preferred vendor Marianne Dove Events. Marina made sure things ran smoothly and worked with all of my vendors to follow the timeline. We were very pleased with Domenico Winery and so happy that we had the wedding of our dreams there. We couldn't have done it without their help.

    My husband and I had to change our wedding venue with only a few months to go before our big day. Booking our day at Domenico Winery ended up being the best decision! Needing a new venue was a blessing in disguise. Lisa and her team were amazing! We couldn't have asked for better service! The wines are wonderful, the space is gorgeous, and the service was unbeatable. We met a few times before the wedding and they got a real feel for what we were looking for, the rest was taken care of by the event team. We couldn't have asked for a better night!

    We had the pleasure of working with Marina and the Domenico Winery staff for our recent March wedding. Not only is the venue a wonderful gem in the peninsula area, but the staff was extremely flexible with our ideas for layout and food options for the guests. The entire venue provides a perfect setting for a romantic and fun wedding and reception. All the guest appreciated the warm decor once they opened the main doors (Frankly you are pleasantly surprised once the market lights are on, it truly changes the entire space and tone). The venue provided a great look with the large wine barrels and candles for both the wedding and reception. The options provided for rental vendors are great also, very reasonable. Also you don't have to worry about finding a food vendor either, the on staff chefs are the best. Great options for vegans and gluten free guest also. We used the entire space for the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, DJ, dessert vendor and open bar (which was quite a deal compared to other venues we spoke with). Marina worked with my wedding planners to make sure each detail was ready! We didn't have to worry about a thing. I would highly recommended Domenico for a wedding or special event.

    Wedding Summer 2025

    Our wedding at Domenico Winery was more than we ever could have imagined. The in-house food was unforgettable, and the buffet portions were generous. We opted for wine braised short ribs and mahi mahi, two main options not seen at weddings very often. The sides of polenta and rice pilaf were also amazing. Salads and vegetables were also up to California farm to table freshness and quality.

    They offer many tiers of bar packages, from soft drinks only, to wine and beer, full open bars with cocktails, and no host options. The drinks were well crafted and served with care. They even had welcome drinks ready for our guests as they entered ahead of the ceremony.

    The huge cask room was split into thirds separated by sheer white curtains and comfortably fit 100 guests for the ceremony in one section, cocktail hour in another, and the reception separately. After dinner, the ceremony area was used as our dance floor.

    Domenico has a list of preferred vendors that we used for DJs, transportation, photographers, and florals. They also have lists of officiants, planners, and bakers. This worked well for us as we were looking for a venue that could hold both ceremony and reception, has food, tables, chairs and linens in house included in their event pricing, yet allowed for creativity in florals, DJ, and photographer of our choice through locally trusted vendors.

    Their booking and payment policy was clear and communication was consistent throughout the planning process. The only issue we had throughout the entire event was that the vegetarian entree we had selected got dropped from the final menu, and we approved that change without realizing until the food was served. Overall, the night was amazing and we would 100% get married at Domenico again! The convenient Bay Area location is well suited for local and traveling guests.

    Beautiful Urban Winery with a very welcoming and flexible staff!

    We searched quite a lot for wedding venues around the Bay Area, but eventually picked Domenico because of the wonderful space and most importantly their level of service and willingness to be flexible on our requests. I had some issues with their old ceiling, they literally redid the whole ceiling!! On top of that, we wanted to supplement their in house catering (which is delicious!!) with some Indian food given our heritage and they were so flexible on accommodating all of our requests. We worked with a day of coordinator from the venue itself (bruna) and she was amazing - very responsive, friendly and determined to fix the 1-2 small hiccups that occurred on the day (nothing major just confusion around what color napkins to use and where to set the coffee beverage stand). Overall we would highly recommend this venue -- the space is BEAUTIFUL and 100% worth your money.

    Excellent Event

    I had an excellent experience with Bruna as my Catering Sales Manager. She made the planning and execution of the event very easy for me. All of the staff were very professional and helpful. The remodel that the venue did created the perfect ambiance for my event. We had over 300 attendees and we still had plenty of room to mingle and move around. The food and wine were a hit with my guests. I received many compliments from my guests saying what a wonderful event it was. Thank you again so much Bruna for being the superstar that I needed.

    A fantastic night!

    The team at Domenico worked hard to make our night amazing, and it was! They helped us find space for time alone before the reception and gave us appetizers and drinks whenever we asked for them. They kept right on schedule for the entire evening. And late at night when we were hungry from dancing, they brought us pizzas from the restaurant next door. It was a beautiful venue and a beautiful evening!

    We loved domenico

    Let me start off by saying I just returned from my honeymoon so I have that post-wedding glow still going on. Back in June, however, I got married at Domenico. Despite the pandemic, we had the most amazing time at Domenico. Marina and her staff are responsive, flexible and will give you the wedding of your dreams. Some people may not prefer to have their food catered by their venue, but Domenico has experience from their Osteria and it was AMAZING. You also can't beat the vibe of the place, or the amazing people that work there!

    An elegant yet low-key setting for a beautiful wedding

    I loved the modern industrial feel of the winery with the barrels, string lights, and concrete floors. The food was great, the service was fantastic, and working with this venue was quite an easy and straightforward process. They worked with us to make our day exactly what we wanted and were willing to accommodate any of the requests we made of them!

    We just got married! And this place was an absolute dream come true - I can't believe how beautiful it turned out. :)

    If you're a bride-to-be, here are the facts:
    - $$-wise, this place is a bargain compared to any similar venues in the SF area. All their fees were super reasonable, and much more inclusive than most places I researched (they don't nickel and dime you for everything).
    - Taylor and Marina are amazing coordinators and were very easy to work with - there wasn't a question they couldn't answer, and it's clear they've done this a million times; but they do require that you have a non-guest coordinator of your own on site (but even if they didn't, you really should get one)
    - They do have in-house catering, and they have tastings throughout the year you can attend - they have a pretty exhaustive list, so you're bound to find something you like.
    - They can move their wine barrels to rearrange/create spaces within the winery

    All our guests had such a wonderful time - they raved about the space, the food, the service - everything. Wedding planning was such a draining experience... (haha!), but Domenico truly made it all worth it. We were extremely happy with the way everything turned out.

    The venue was beautiful! The food was ah-mazing! The service was terrific!

    All around - a great experience working with Marina, Taylor, and the rest of the team at Domenico. When we reserved our date, the renovations hadn't started but Marina and Taylor were able to ease our worries as the months passed by and really helped us envision what it would look like by the time we had our reception there and they did not disappoint. Our guests had a really fun time and enjoyed the atmosphere that was created by Domenico. While my husband and I were researching and visiting potential venues, we asked each one whether or not we could bring our little pug, Hugo, and Domenico was one of the few that said yes with no hesitation. To us, it was a huge plus and they're willingness to help us create the perfect reception was what ultimately made us choose Domenico. They're the complete package!

    We were so happy to find this venue and space while we were planning our wedding in just under 6-months. Domenico is a hidden gem! Throughout the process, we worked with both Marina and Taylor, though Taylor was our main point of contact once we signed our contract. Taylor worked with us to ensure we were able to attend both the Winter and Spring tastings so we could choose items for both for our reception. Can I just say the food through the in-hour chef is AMAZING? All our guests raved about it being some of the best they had (not just at a wedding). We opted for a dessert assortment instead of a wedding cake and the macaroons were to-die-for. One of the reasons that sealed the deal for us when looking at venues was Domenico's openness to us having our dog at the reception, he is definitely our fur-baby and it made the evening so special having him present. We also found Taylor and the team super accommodating when it came to dropping off our decor a few days early and allowing us to leave a few items behind to pick up a few days post-wedding. Taylor also saved us some food to take home after the wedding, which was sweet since we weren't able to eat too much during the event!

    The only critique I have is that the space in the venue changed a lot in the 6-months between signing the contract and our event. While we knew renovations would be occurring, several walls were put up to accommodate a future tasting room that cut out some significant square footage for guests to mingle during cocktail hour. The renovations also took away two downstairs bathrooms leaving one unisex bathroom downstairs and one upstairs, this was difficult for a few of our elderly relatives to maneuver and met there were several people waiting in line at times. We should have considered these things when we were deciding on a venue, so this is not Domenico's fault. It also didn't impact how much we enjoyed ourselves. I just want to make sure others are aware of these potential limitations.

    We had our reception at this venue in May 2018. It was a great venue and we had a very good experience working with Marina and Leah. Any concerns we had it was very easy to address with them. Thank you again ladies, we appreciate it!
