Facilities and Capacity
Experience the refreshing kiss of nature as light winds brush against your wedding day attire.

This overlooks some of the growing vines and offers glimpses of the mountains. For ceremonies, the lawn can accommodate 350 seated guests. Indeed, this lawn space would also be a remarkable setting on summery days for a reception of al fresco cuisine.
Alternatively, you can choose to set the ceremony up near the Terrace area. Indeed, the Terrace would make a suitable location for the reception as 200 people can sit and dine here, while there is also space for a dance floor to be set up. The Circular Courtyard, meanwhile, offers room for 500 guests to be seated as the vows take place, while it also works as a cocktail hour setting.
For those who want to enjoy some indoor festivities, the Barrel Room makes for a splendid choice. Exerience old-world elegance surrounded by oak wine casks.
