Wedding Rehearsal Dinners
The rehearsal dinner is a time of joy, with parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles and cousins from both sides of this new family tree gathering for the first time!
And "Now more than ever, couples are opting to have down to earth and intimate rehearsal dinners," says Food & Beverage Director, Mindy Smith. Aside from ensuring that it won't upstage the more formal wedding, "a casual rehearsal dinner will loosen up guests who are meeting for the first time, and a winery is the perfect location!" Smith says. The dress code can come down a notch or more from the wedding attire (there's no reason you can't do shorts and flip-flops, for example, if that's your style). It is also the perfect time for the bride and groom to thank all the people who have helped them with the wedding planning.
To encourage newly budding relationships and conversation among the new family, you might consider open seating rather than assigned tables, a buffet or family-style dining.
Enjoy dinner in our intimate Wine Cask Room, Barrel Room, Garden View Terrace, or in our Creekside Grille. The perfect locations for guests up to 75 people.
