Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Set atop a gentle slope on the western hills of Carneros Valley, Gloria Ferrer Caves & Vineyards is the first Sparkling Winery in the region. The Spanish-style hacienda, surrounded by picturesque rolling hills dotted with olive trees and vineyards, showcases Sonoma style and hospitality, offering a truly elevated experience for couples and their guests.
- Al fresco celebrations are lovely in the covered Vista Pavilion. Just upstairs, the inviting and modern tasting room is ideal for a scenic cocktail hour, opening onto a large terrace with panoramic views of the 300 acres of estate vineyards. Follow with dinner, dancing, and dessert back in the Pavilion or in the spacious Wine Cave.
- Their wine portfolio is considered "some of California's best" (Wine Spectator Magazine). With winemaking traditions that stretch back to 18th-century Cava making in Catalonia, the estate's offerings have now expanded to encompass Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir varietals. You'll work closely with the knowledgeable staff to select the perfect pairings to make a lasting impression on your big day.
