Nella Terra Cellars Reviews

My husband and I visited 4 venues before visiting Nella Terra. After our visit, we knew Nella Terra was the wedding venue for us. It checked off all of our boxes. A tent wedding with lots of greenery and photo opportunities.

We had our wedding October 5,2024 and it was beautiful. We received so many compliments of Nella Terra being the best wedding venue our guests have ever been to. Whitney, her team, and our vendors were amazing.

If you're considering to plan an event at Nella Terra, don't hesitate. You won't regret it! Reach out to Whitney, she will take great care of you and your guests!

My husband and I are 2 amateur event planners, working with Nella Terra Cellars, Simply Lovely Events, and On the Vine Catering was the perfect choice for our Ceremony! The venue was absolutely beautiful, and because it was a mid June wedding it was the perfect weather; our guests absolutely loved using the shuttle and they raved about Hors d’ Oeuvres during Cocktail Hour. We had a few hiccups before the Ceremony, but Tannya and Michelle were quick to communicate and help move the program along.

I had my wedding in October of 2023 and everything went amazing. We loved our wedding and the people we worked with at Nella Terra. Kendall was our point person throughout the whole process and we couldn't have asked for someone better to work with. She was so incredibly patient with this type A bride with a million and ten questions. Nella Terra does whatever they can on their end to make sure that your day is how you imagined it. Their packages are so convenient and customizable. They also have a solid variety of preferred vendors to choose from. Our guests all had an amazing time and loved our venue. Nella Terra was our hidden gem in the Bay Area and we were so excited to share it with all of our loved ones. All of our guests were in awe of our wedding and could not stop talking about how beautiful the venue was. The walk down the stairs is something the guests cannot stop talking about. I highly recommend this venue because every penny spent was worth it.

Nella Terra is STUNNING! The moment Daniel and I stepped foot on the venue, we knew our search was over. There is a long and beautiful staircase surrounded by the grapevines, that makes for a statement grand entrance if you have your ceremony at the venue. The garden is so magical, and the beautiful waterfall makes for a great background for pictures/videos as you cross the bridge. The white tent is perfect, especially for a hot summer wedding, as it provides coverage from the sun, yet it allows some fresh air to pass through. We definitely recommend getting the white drapes for the tent, as it adds that extra touch of elegance! Let's not forget about the beautiful sunset that surrounds the property. DO NOT MISS OUT ON SUNSET PHOTOS!! We almost did, but I am telling you it is so beautiful, and so romantic as you step away from the chaos and get to spend some alone time with your forever partner!

We are extremely happy to have had our wedding at this gorgeous venue. The staff and all of the recommended vendors provided by Nella Terra was nothing short of amazing! We cannot stress how beautiful this place is! We highly recommend getting married here!

Nella Terra is our dream venue, and it truly feels like a dream that we were able to get married here!! Kendall and the entire family/staff at NT is incredible. They answered all of our questions and made us feel so welcomed every time we came for a visit. We cannot say thank you enough to Kendall and Whitney for all of their help, advice, and wisdom during our wedding planning! Not to mention, their wine is incredible. We look forward to coming back to celebrate anniversaries for years to come!

If you are looking for a winery to have the perfect wedding, this is the place. The first time we walked onto this venue we knew this is where we wanted to tie the knot. The team that runs Nella Terra communicates well and just fantastic to work with. They have a list of preferred vendors that they have already worked with and honestly that saves so much time trying to find reliable companies to work with. The wedding venue is stunning and holds 150+ people.

Or wedding day was even better than we imagined! When we first stepped onto the property we were just in awe with how beautiful it was. Kendall gave us a tour and we had plenty of questions that she was more than happy to answer. Our main question was the best month to get married which she told us June. So we chose June 17th, 2023. During June the grapevines are full of color that coexists with the beautiful golden hills that surrounds the property. This gives you the best of both worlds for amazing photo opportunities. The ceremony area is magical with tons of seats to fit a large party. It has a pergola that can be filled with flowers and has a beautiful pond and garden in the background. The Grooms getting ready area has a fun bocci court and shed that was filled with glasses and champagne while the Brides get a beautiful cottage that was freshly remodeled with beautiful décor. The brides cottage has a kitchen, huge bathroom and getting ready room. They have a huge tent for the reception which was a perfect choice during covid. The tent can be decorated with drapery which makes the whole place come together and would highly recommend. The venue provides a shuttle that goes around the property from and to the parking lot to the ceremony/reception area which was a huge benefit for our grandparents and guests with less mobility.

I cannot express enough how perfect our wedding was and we look forward to going back and enjoying Nella Terra's award winning wines. Thank you Nella Terra for hosting us!

I photographed a wedding here twice in 2022 and it has easily become my favorite venue. It is a gorgeous venue with so much to offer. So many stunning portrait locations, the tent is dreamy. You cannot go wrong with booking this venue!

We hosted our wedding reception at Nella Terra and loved the venue and our wonderful hosts! Whitney and Bella were very helpful in terms of providing us with customized options for our special day. We were so pleased with how everything turned out and our guests couldn't get enough of the venue either! Thanks again!

Wow, how do I start? My husband and I initially got engaged during the pandemic and had a long engagement. Not only were we planning a wedding during the pandemic, but we were also doing so out of state! Whitney and the rest of the Nella Terra team were so kind and generous and helped us figure out the whole process- from planning to execution on the day of! We could not have had our perfect day without the NT team.

The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous. It's this beautiful winery filled with grape vines and a lush pond tucked in between rolling hills. During our wedding, all of guests kept on telling us how beautiful the venue is. And wait until you see Nella Terra and the reception tent at golden hour.

We could not have made a better choice than choosing Nella Terra for our wedding venue.

I got married on September 11th 2022 and honestly Nella Terra is the most amazing and romántica place to get married and also their team is amazing very responsible, good communication, kind and friendly o and also they have this amazing hills where you can take picture when is sunset time!

My husband and I had our wedding here in late July 2022 and we couldn't be happier with how everything went. The site is beautiful, particularly in July and August when everything is lush. Food was extremely important to us, and while the caterer's food at our tasting was wonderful, it's only natural to be skeptical that it will be just as good on the wedding day, and yet it absolutely was (get the tri-tip carving station!). All of our guests had a great time and were blown away by the natural beauty of the venue, which was also a tremendous asset for our photographer - our sunset photos in front of the rolling golden hills look incredible. The venue had someone on-site during the day-of to make sure the groomsmen and bridesmaids had everything they needed, and to help ensure the whole thing went off without a hitch (thanks Bella!). Finally, the associated planner/coordinator, Simply Lovely Events, were phenomenal to work with (we relied on them heavily since we were planning from the other side of the country) and ran everything smoothly on the big day. Thank you Nella Terra for hosting our wedding!

Where do I even start? Our wedding day at Nella Terra Cellars was absolutely magical and stunning. Our wedding exceeded our expectations and I am a very particular person! The only negative we have was that we wish the day lasted forever and ever! The communication was always easy with our coordinators Kendall and Whitney. I was never left with any unanswered questions, they were so responsive and always made sure I was up to date on everything. They work so well with Simply Lovely Events, that all of our vendors were always on the same page. Everything is organized perfectly and left us saying to others that our wedding day was literally perfect, which not everyone can say after their wedding! There were no hiccups, everything was seamless and our guests continue to keep raving about how magical the evening was. I can't recommend Nella Terra Cellars enough to people for their special day. We have no regrets and wish we could relive that night over and over! Thank you for such an amazing day that we will never forget and continue to look back on with beaming smiles!

Everything was so perfect and it is the most beautiful venue! Everyone we worked with was so nice and helpful. No matter what I needed they were able to make it work, they answered every question I had and were a joy to work with! Right when my now husband and I drove up to the venue we knew it was the one. The entire property is STUNNING! Our wedding was absolutely perfect, I am so glad we chose Nella Terra! If you are on the fence about booking, just do it!

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding day at Nella Terra Cellars. When we first stepped onto the property for a tour a year ago, we had a good feeling it was the right venue for us. Their team was wonderful to work with from the start, and very accommodating and helpful in the month leading up to the wedding and the day of. They made sure every detail was taken care of.

Several guests asked us how we found Nella Terra and said it was one of the most beautiful venues they’ve been to. The tent and gardens among the vineyards offered such a unique and gorgeous backdrop to our wedding, and we were beyond happy we chose to work with the team at Nella Terra and host our reception there.

Absolutely beautiful venue that fit our private & (mostly) outdoor wedding vision. The property has several great photo options including many amazing golden hour locations. The "natural breeze" we were concerned about turned out to be a blessing on a late June afternoon. It was also a joy to work with the Nella Terra family and their list of preferred vendors. All required and preferred vendor options were great quality with fair pricing . We were very happy with our planning & day of experiences. Thank you for making our day so amazing!

First wedding venue we toured and didn't look anywhere else. I mean, who would, this place is stunning, magical, romantic, and breathtaking.

Nella Terra isn't just a beautiful venue, but they also have a list of preferred vendors that will make your vision come to life (Many thanks to SLE wedding coordinators - Lindsay, Tannya and Olivia! You are the best!). Everyone at Nella Terra were very professional, helpful, very responsive and goes above and beyond (Bella, you are amazing!).

Our wedding was above expectations, and we couldn't be happier we made this choice! Everyone that attended our wedding expressed how beautiful and gorgeous the venue and all the details was. We cannot wait to be back to Nella Terra not just to enjoy their great wines but to celebrate many other occasions!

Wow! What an amazing venue and group of people to work with. Nella Terra Cellars was everything (and more) for what we wanted in a wedding venue. From the grand staircase, to the cocktail area, the reception tent, the venue is truly romantic and unique. We had the pleasure of working with Whitney and Kendall to make our wedding day vision come to life. The venue has a few required vendors that you need to work with, but they did NOT disappoint! We received so many compliments from our special day and wish we could do it all over again. The contract and booking process was seamless and straight forward even with all of the uncertainty with COVID. They constantly kept us up to date with the covid protocols whenever the county updated them and we felt very safe and comfortable having our wedding here. It was truly an unforgettable day. I am so glad that we ended up at NTC!

Like many 2020 brides, we had to postpone our June 2020 wedding a full calendar year. While postponing was emotionally stressful, Whitney and team made the process very smooth. They answered all of my emails and calls quickly and calmed all of my anxiety. The venue itself is stunning!! All of my guests kept commenting on how beautiful it was. Every corner of it is picturesque and awed our guests from the bay area and out of town alike. We wanted a winery that wasn't too far from major airports and also felt private, which seemed tricky to attain as many wineries are open to the public even the day of weddings. Since Nella Terra is a private winery and tucked away in the hillside, but close enough to major cities and airports, it checked all our boxes and more! Not to mention the staircase entrance for the processional--I had guests say they gasped when they saw me because it was so striking! The vendors they require you to work with are wonderful as well--it's a large property so very helpful to have vendors who know the grounds through and through. All in all, I HIGHLY recommend Nella Terra. I keep saying that I want a friend to get married here so I can experience it as a guest! It's simply everything and more and the people who work there go above and beyond for the couples.

My husband and I got married about a year ago at Nella Terra, and we continue to be in awe at the BEAUTY, UNIQUENESS, KINDNESS OF STAFF, and of course all the magical moments we had while celebrating our marriage that Nella Terra helped make possible.

When my husband and I started our wedding venue shopping, we were looking for a venue that represented California, had the capacity of being able to accommodate our large wedding party/guests, and full of natural beauty. We quickly learned that Nella Terra hit all these points for us, and so many more.

First off, Nella Terra is an absolute diamond of a wedding venue and offers the whole package. It is truly a hidden gem, nestled in the rolling golden CA hills (which was a must have on my husband’s list). The grounds are absolutely stunning, and truly picturesque, there are so many beautiful photography spots. We loved how the ceremony site was only a few steps away from the reception area, and the gazebo for cocktail hour is a great place for all your guests to enjoy a glass of wine or beer before the reception starts! As the bride, one of my favorite things about Nella Terra is the grand cascading staircase. It makes for the perfect entrance to the beginning of such a breathtaking and magical wedding day. I continue to cherish that moment walking down the staircase, taking the whole venue in and seeing all our wedding plans come to life.

A few other items that we would like to mention:
The benefit of having the option for “indoor” and outdoor. Having the large tent for the reception could be used for the ceremony if weather doesn’t cooperate. Even though the venue is quite large, having a smaller more intimate wedding, particularly during social distancing times would be absolutely beautiful and would still be able to provide you with the same beautiful and magical wedding day experience that you are dreaming of. There is TONS of parking for all your guests. The bridal cottage is so cute, and a fun place for the bride and all her gals to hangout in before the big moment!

The Catering company that Nella Terra uses is stellar! Loved working with On the Vine catering. From the moment of signing our wedding contract with Nella Terra, to the tasting and then having our menu come to life on our wedding day was flawless! We had so many complements from our guests! We really liked that you could do a dual entrée, so guests could have a plated dinner and receive both salmon and steak. We liked that the decision for a catering company was already decided for us, takes the headache out of researching and booking a company. We thoroughly loved the food and would highly recommend!

We cannot say enough about the Nella Terra Staff; very professional, responsive, and accommodating to certain questions and requests my husband and I had. We loved that Nella Terra made us feel like family and there were so many personal touches that made us feel special. Thank you to Whitney, Kendall, and Sharde for all their hard work that helped make our day super special and flawless and all other Nella Terra staff working behind the scenes.

This review wouldn’t be complete without mentioning their wine. Absolutely delicious, and there are many varieties to choose from! We are big pinot noir fans, and their wine does not disappoint! We are proud Nella terra wine club members and look forward to swinging by the winery to pick up our quarterly shipments, it is a way for us to enjoy the grounds and the beauty that Nella Terra offers. Not to mention reliving our wedding day each time we pick up our wine shipment.

So, you must add Nella Terra to your list of venues to visit, and if you are like us, will quickly realize it is a one of a kind wedding venue!

We had our wedding at Nella Terra two years ago and it was fantastic and amazingly beautiful. The venue is a gorgeous winery and has a beautiful view of the hills of Sunol. Sunset was gorgeous.

They were very flexible with guests coming and once you know where it is up the dirt road, it is nice to be removed from houses so you do not have to worry about noises or being too loud. :)

What an amazing place to visit and have a wedding. We were fortunate to attend a wedding here and enjoy the reception all in one place! You couldn't have asked for better weather or area to host a wedding. We plan to visit again next time we are in the area.

When we were dropped off at the venue, we had a lovely walk through the vineyard to the wedding location. The views of the countryside, the vineyard, the wedding site and the reception tent were stunning. We were surrounded by beauty. We were able to socialize with a glass of wine under the pergola before the start of the ceremony which was such a lovely concept. Then, we were seated for the wedding in the sunny open air that only California can deliver. After the ceremony, we enjoyed several appetizer stations placed throughout the area where chefs were preparing their specialty on site. You also had time to stroll around the grounds and take in all its’ beauty. Entering the reception tent was truly magical. The table décor, flowers, and personal place settings were exquisite and the attention to detail was impeccable. The wedding at Nella Terra was absolutely the most beautiful wedding I have ever attended, and it is a memory I will treasure forever.

We absolutely love Nella Terra! Like many 2020 couples, we had to postpone our wedding celebration due to COVID, but we've visited Nella Terra several times (for wine tastings and events) since booking with them, and we can't wait to finally have our wedding there. It's a gorgeous, secluded vineyard with stunning scenery and a dreamy reception tent, and we've loved getting to know the team during the tastings! They've been nothing but kind and supportive to us through the rescheduling process, and we know they'll do everything possible to make our wedding day special. It's such a lovely place to enjoy wine, play bocce ball, and just generally walk around -- we are so excited to be back soon!

My husband and I attended the most beautiful wedding at Nella Terra! Our friends were lucky to find this hidden gem so close to home. The amazing venue has scenic overlooks, intimate walks, and beautiful landscaping perfect for any size wedding and every picture you and your guests could dream of taking!
The event was seamless from parking to the last dance. One of our favorite memories was wine tasting on the patio during cocktail hour. Our friends exclusively offered wine from the vineyard itself during cocktail hour and dinner. It was a complex, aromatic, easy to drink wine.
A memorable night led to us contacting Nella Terra to buy multiple cases of wine. From Christmas gifts to a Zoom wine tasting last month this wine has been a crowd-pleaser. Nella Terra’s service is impeccable. From the moment we placed our order to the quick delivery and beautiful packaging this is an amazing business!
