Trentadue Winery

I just attended a wedding at Trentadue Winery -- it was a stunning setting. Our good friends got married there, and it was such a gorgeous backdrop with the mountains in the background. Also loved being close to the vines, and truly feeling like you were at a winery. There was a nice flow of space (indoor and outdoor) -- the ceremony was outdoors on one side...then we moved to the other outdoor space for cocktails/apps...and finally moved inside for dinner and dancing. The event space comfortably fit 150 guests (I believe they can fit many more). The only downside is that the wine isn't the best, but overall, the wedding was so lovely we didn't even really notice.

We had our wedding at Trentadue on 8/8/08. It was absolutely beautiful!! The grapes were on the vine, flowers were in bloom, the sky was clear, redwoods shielded the ceremony area. Just perfect. This is definitely a venue that does not require a lot of decoration or extra flowers.

Donna is the Events Manager at Trentadue, and she definitely knows her stuff. She was able to answer just about every question we had.

The only negatives we found with this property were:
1. A little on the pricey side - we paid $7K for a Friday wedding. I believe prices have since gone up.
2. Although a day of coordinator (really just a winery representative) is included in the venue price, you meet this person the day of the wedding - we'd asked to meet this person before the wedding, but were told we couldn't.

Finally, as a quick warning - the winery is pretty far north of SF in Alexander Valley, which made it hard for our guests to make it on time for our ceremony because of commuter traffic (and Olympic Games protests) - although, I have to say that we did warn our guests about this...

All in all, a great venue.
