In a few short weeks, my fiance and I will be leaving to get married. Naturally, it will be in wine country– Napa or Sonoma. Napa would be my first choice because I work in wine and my fiance works in auto parts. I think that’s clever, but it’s beside the point. We really want to make this happen as simply as possible on vineyard; between the vines. To be more specific (due to local laws), we plan on saying our vows with only a pastor and a photographer present. That’s all. I’ve got the dress, the shoes, and the guy, but we still need a vineyard on which to make this official.
I am inviting vineyards in Napa and Sonoma to consider hosting our entourage of four on August 18, 2009 for our vows. We seek a very intimate setting surrounded by the glorious beauty of vines so alive and ripe with symbolism.
My K.I.S.S list:
- Rose bushes at the end of the rows of vines
- Picturesque location for Wedding photos
- Can accommodate four people for about one hour on Aug 18th
- No staff, or event space required from the vineyard
BONUS: Will hold a video camera for 10 mins or be our witness
***Please note that my K.I.S.S list isn’t set in stone. If you think that your winery and vineyards have something different to offer, I invite you change my mind!***
If you would like to invite us to get hitched on your land, you can email me at winebard@gmail.com with a brief description of your winery and why your vineyard would be perfect for our special day. I will be posting the entries here as they come in and notifying the chosen winery on August 14. The official announcement will be made on the wedding day, followed by a post of how it went.
Please email me no later than August 13 at 4pm PST, this bride has some planning to do!

Well, you couldn’t have picked a better day
That’s my and Matt’s 3rd anniversary!
Best of luck in your search, I hope you get lots of responses!
I have posted a tweet for you. I hope it helps. Good luck and have fun.
If I am here on the 18th, I would love to hold the camera!
Twisted sounds like a good choice. If no Napa wineries come thru and you still want the Napa tie in, my vineyard backyard offer still stands. Would be available to hold camera, regardless of where it is.
Shana, I hope you guys make it up to the area in time! I may take you up on your offer if you do.
