Elegant Winery Weddings
Holds ceremonies and receptions
Gideon Owen Wine Company is a winery and romantic wedding venue in Port Clinton, OH. This luxurious venue boasts scenic views, spacious interiors, and picturesque outdoor spaces for your wedding celebration.
The winery has a long and storied history, beginning in the late 19th century. Known initially as Catawba Island Wine Company in 1870, this site has undergone many changes, serving variously as a winery, champagne storage center, tea room, and even a miniature golf course. Just as it started, this site is now home to one of Ohio’s premier wineries.
Prepare for the day in The Overlook, a repurposed cabin with a powder room and bar area. You can say ‘I do’ in the historic Wine Cellar with vaulted ceilings, limestone walls, and decorative wine barrels. Alternatively, tie the knot in The Cellar Garden, which features beautiful gardens perfect for sunny summer days. The Lime Kiln Falls are ideal for cocktail hour. Your guests can relax and chat beside the peaceful waterfall while you pose for photos with your beloved around the vineyards. For your reception meal, Gideon Owen Wine Company offers The Ballroom, which is lit by elegant chandeliers and features exposed wooden beams, cobbled limestone walls, and a cozy fireplace. This room has seating for up to 180 of your guests. The elegant Vineyard Room and The Loft also offer you and your guests additional interior space to celebrate. A deluxe restaurant is on-site, and the talented catering team can happily prepare a bespoke food menu for your big day. And, of course, Gideon Owen Wine Company’s delicious wine will be available for tasting and indulging.

We had our wedding here and it was absolutely amazing. The venue itself is so beautiful that we felt like we did not need to add many decorations to make the place sparkle. The sta...
ff was great to work with and was very accommodating to all of our requests. The only part that did not go exactly as planned is we felt like it took a while for everyone's food to be served, but it ended up being a blessing in disguise because it gave us time to go take sunset pictures. I can not recommend this wedding venue enough!
