Choosing a venue for your wedding is one of the first things you should check off your to-do list. And now, more than ever, it’s important to find an all-inclusive venue, somewhere you can hold the ceremony and reception, and heck, even the rehearsal dinner (trust us, your guests will thank you for not making them bounce between locations). Well, we’ve found just the place and it’s in scenic Napa wine country – Chandon (yes, that Chandon). Not only does the winery sport the quintessential vineyard views, their whimsical garden space and the winery itself were designed specifically to host weddings. Whether you want to take advantage of Cali’s perfect weather and go for an outdoor ceremony, shaded by 100-year-old oak trees with views of the valley, or welcome your guests into one of Chandon’s unique indoor spaces, they’ve got something for everyone.
These days, couples are more focused on the wedding experience as a whole, and what better way to show your guests a good time in Napa, than to immerse them in the wine culture. Instead of your typical cocktail hour, consider treating your guests to a one-of-a-kind wine tasting or a tour of the property. Chandon also has a mixologist on-site that works one-on-one with the couples and creates custom sparkling cocktails featuring Chandon’s famous sparkling wine. Plus, there are plenty of killer photo ops that will keep your guests busy until you’re ready to get the party started.
They’ve obviously got the drink situation covered, but what about the food? Well, Chandon brought on renowned Chef de Cuisine, Juan Cabrera to give couples a completely custom dining experience. The chef works directly with the couples and the sommelier to create wine pairings to go with each course–it doesn’t get more luxe than that!
Don’t want the party to end? It doesn’t have to. Chandon also hosts post-wedding brunches so you can keep the party going. Give your guests the send-off they deserve and treat yourself to a good meal before you get whisked away on your honeymoon. And while the brunch cocktails are sure to be a hit, with the region’s freshest ingredients, their juice bar is a thing to behold!
