Searching for the perfect venue can be tiresome. In addition to knowing the size, cost, and décor capabilities, you’ll want to know what environment or atmosphere will best fit your event.
In your search for a creative event space, you may want to consider holding your event in a winery.
Wineries are a wonderful summertime and early fall venue choice. Many have great cellars that you can hold part of your event in or beautiful terraces to enjoy a peaceful night. Not only does a winery give you spectacular views, it makes your drink choice obvious!
But don’t think wineries are just for the wine, enjoy a peaceful atmosphere where guests can wander around the property. This venue can work for cocktail parties, corporate events and more. The options are endless.
Keep your event simple, and let the scenery speak for itself.
Although wineries are a great fit for a wide variety of events, consider using this venue space for the following event themes:
- Wine and cheese fundraiser
- Romantic Wedding
- Halloween parties (think of the opportunities for scare factors out in the vineyard)
- Team building exercises
- Paint and wine night
- Women who “wine”
- Sommelier expert and chocolate pairing social
- Chef competition
- French themed dinner

No matter the theme or event, a winery is a surprisingly refreshing venue choice! Next time you are planning an event think about the benefits of using a local winery and enjoy the views, fresh air and grapes!
