The entrance to "Grandma's House", where the brides now prepare for the big day. Surrounded by redwood trees and the flowing sound of Soquel Creek, this charming multi-generational family winery is concurrently a tasting room, working winery and wedding venue. Clients wanted to update the landscaping, lighting and overall look of the property to reflect a rustic yet elegant European aesthetic that matches their fine wine. As such, striking and colorful plants were chosen in deep reds and pinks to match the brick and tile as well as the wine itself. High-quality FX Luminaire lighting was added throughout parking lot and trees were illuminated with uplights for a beautiful nighttime effect. The vintage cottage which was once "Grandma's House" is still affectionately referred to as such and now hosts bridal parties! The courtyard outside Grandma's House was updated with large pots, cascading roses and olive trees. The wedding reservations are coming in and tasting room guests are sipping Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir on the patio next to the creek.

When you enter the lobby the white millwork walls and crystal chandeliers set the tone of elegance and sophistication. Follow the route-iron rails to one of two bridal suites. No detail is too small as a Grooms room equipped with a card table for pre-event preparation. For a breath of fresh air or a sneak-peak of the guests arrival, head to the roof deck just off of the bridal suites. When making your way down to the affair, gather your group and take the elevator down the destination room.
