Wedding vows and vineyard views pair perfectly at Ponte Winery.
Don’t let the gorgeous grounds, world-class cuisine, and luxury hotel fool you into thinking this is some sort of stuffy winery. The Ponte motto is “if you like it, it’s good wine.” We love the casual twist they put on this otherwise upscale winery!

Venue Features
The scene:
    Ponte Vineyard Inn is set amongst Ponte Family Estate's three hundred acres of lush vineyards and rolling foothills. Our oneacre landscaped pond, naturally aerated by a windmill, glistens as you make your way through the manicured Italian Courtyard Garden past mature Pepper Trees swaying in the afternoon breeze. Take a short stroll through the vineyard-lined "Tunnel of Love” and you will find yourself in the heart of Ponte Winery. A contagious feel-good atmosphere engulfs you as step into the iconic Tasting Room, buzzing with locals and visitors alike.
      Design:
      A Taste of Tuscany
      Featuring Spanish mission-style architecture and Moroccan-inspired design elements, Ponte Vineyard Inn was modeled after the Carmel Mission in California. Bright, colorful Spanish tiles and brick pathways complement the Inn’s ivory walls. Vines with ripening fruit drape across balconies and overhangs while the Italian courtyard fountain sparkles in the garden.

      Rustic Romance
      Ponte Winery embraces an authentic California ranch-style aesthetic blended successfully with Italian splendor. Distinctive wooden beams and old-world style chandeliers add charisma and charm. Ivy clings to stone façades as olive trees line the manicured Italian gardens and grounds.
      Standout venue features:
      A short stroll through the "Tunnel of Love" will lead guests to Ponte Winery, with access to dine at the award-winning Restaurant at Ponte. Taste estate-grown wine in the iconic Ponte Winery Tasting Room and peruse through the Gift Shop, stocked with carefully chosen local gourmet goods and unique merchandise.
