Question 1

A brief description of the RVW experience…

Accepted Answer

When you enter through our main gates, first, take a deep breath. Fresh air and peaceful bliss await. Roll the windows down for your drive through the vineyard to our private estate. This space is set perfectly away from main roads, and other wine tasting guests. Your wedding day, special event, or getaway to the foothills, is truly yours. From a blank outdoor canvas, to rolling hills of vines, this property flows from ceremony, to cocktail hour, to reception. Experience gold country in a way not many get to. Have a wine country wedding all to yourselves. One of our favorite things about the property is the wave of peace that comes with your arrival. Shutting the car door, and enjoying the sunshine, and taking it all in. It’s hard to describe in words, but we hope you come out to visit and explore with us!

Question 2

Property details…

Accepted Answer

Our family purchased a 600-acre ranch adjacent to the wedding venue 5 years ago. We have always loved the venue and dreamed about building one of our own. When Rancho Victoria listed the venue along with 46 acres for sale (18 of those acres are vines), we knew it was meant to be.

Our Venue is booked for a 12-hour period 11:00am to 11:00pm that can range from $5000-$8000 (depending on day of the week and time of year) our venue can accommodate up to 300 guests. We have a beautiful Bridal cottage and a new groom's lounge as well.

Also included are two bar locations, market lighting around every area, guest bathrooms and a spacious parking lot. We have an adjacent secluded pad with water, lighting, and electricity for your catering vendors to use. The not so glamorous topic, garbage is included, as long as you contain it to our dumpster before departing.

What is unique about our venue…

Accepted Answer

Rancho Victoria Weddings provides a private estate experience, with flexibility to your needs and wants. Make it a weekend, a week, or still a wonderful amount of time at our venue for day-of events. We have a beer and wine license only, no hard alcohol permitted. However, we do not require specific wine or vendors to be used. That can be of your choice as well! (We do have a preferred vendors list for you to have once booking, in case you are still in the market). One more thing! We have tables and chairs for rent, if that is an aesthetic or option you would like. 72” rounds, rustic farm tables, and wooden folding chairs (fruitwood with ivory pad).
