I had my wedding here in earlier this month and I am so happy we were able to secure the venue. I have always dreamed to having a wedding at a winery and Nella Terra made all of my dreams come true and more. It is definitely a hidden gem - th...
e drive into the winery makes you feel like driving through a fairytale and the venue itself makes you a Disney princess! There were so many great photo spots by the vines, the staircase, the pond, and so much more. All of my guests asked me how I was able to find this venue. It was a very pleasant surprise for them to see there is such a lovely winery nearby (no need to go all the way to Napa). To top it all off, the team at Nella Terra is just awesome. Whitney was so patient with me with my million questions and was super helpful in making decisions from the different customizable options that the venue provides. Thank you for making me the happiest bride on my wedding day. (OH and the wines are so yummy too - my most wine savvy friends all enjoyed them!!).

rk with. They have a list of preferred vendors that they have already worked with and honestly that saves so much time trying to find reliable companies to work with. The wedding venue is stunning and holds 150+ people. Or wedding day was even better than we imagined! When we first stepped onto the property we were just in awe with how beautiful it was. Kendall gave us a tour and we had plenty of questions that she was more than happy to answer. Our main question was the best month to get married which she told us June. So we chose June 17th, 2023. During June the grapevines are full of color that coexists with the beautiful golden hills that surrounds the property. This gives you the best of both worlds for amazing photo opportunities. The ceremony area is magical with tons of seats to fit a large party. It has a pergola that can be filled with flowers and has a beautiful pond and garden in the background. The Grooms getting ready area has a fun bocci court and shed that was filled with glasses and champagne while the Brides get a beautiful cottage that was freshly remodeled with beautiful décor. The brides cottage has a kitchen, huge bathroom and getting ready room. They have a huge tent for the reception which was a perfect choice during covid. The tent can be decorated with drapery which makes the whole place come together and would highly recommend. The venue provides a shuttle that goes around the property from and to the parking lot to the ceremony/reception area which was a huge benefit for our grandparents and guests with less mobility. I cannot express enough how perfect our wedding was and we look forward to going back and enjoying Nella Terra's award winning wines. Thank you Nella Terra for hosting us!

All of our guests had a great time and were blown away by the natural beauty of the venue, which was also a tremendous asset for our photographer - our sunset photos in front of the rolling golden hills look incredible. The venue had someone on-site during the day-of to make sure the groomsmen and bridesmaids had everything they needed, and to help ensure the whole thing went off without a hitch (thanks Bella!). Finally, the associated planner/coordinator, Simply Lovely Events, were phenomenal to work with (we relied on them heavily since we were planning from the other side of the country) and ran everything smoothly on the big day.

I would give a 2.5 star rating if it was possible. The first thing to be said about this venue is that it is undeniably beautiful. We fell in love with it the second we stepped foot onto it and both the ceremony and reception area are gorgeou...
s and is definitely worth a 5 star rating. My reason for giving it a 2.5 is due to the venue management. It felt as though they tried to manipulate ways to squeeze every dollar out of you (which I guess is the wedding industry in general). The first sign that something felt off was when they informed us of free wine club membership for a year if you were getting married, which we of course agreed to. We later found out after the first shipment that you have to pay for 1 year before receiving the free year. Just a little deceptive. The worst of it all was when we had to reschedule the wedding due to COVID. Our initial date was 8/1/20, at which point large gatherings were not allowed at all so we did not have the option to have the wedding whatsoever. We had already paid a premium price for a Saturday spot, and were told we would need to pay an extra $9000 to rebook to another Saturday spot. Their reasoning for the extra $9000 was so they could keep afloat. The wedding contract had an Act Of God clause, which stated they would reschedule for free should an Act Of God (like COVID) occur. Their interpretation of that clause was to reschedule to a weekday, without a refund for what we had already paid to have a Saturday wedding. I understand many businesses struggled during COVID, but $9000 seemed extremely steep, especially considering they are now hosting weddings during the week and instead of 3 weddings a weekend they have 4-7 per week/weekend. Due to the unreasonable rescheduling fee, we had asked to pull out of the entire wedding and find a different venue, but they refused to refund us the $20K we had already put down and we were therefore forced to pay the $9000 ,as having a Saturday wedding was extremely important to us. We were definitely backed into a corner. We also had to reach out to them to reschedule rather than them reach out to us, and got extremely lucky we reached out when we did, as we booked the last comparable date to our original wedding. We also had difficulties with communication with them a month out from our wedding. We sent emails with a few questions we had regarding the day of and were not able to get a response until we had a meeting with our wedding coordinator (who is required by the venue, but honestly did an amazing job and was absolutely worth it!) and the venue. There was also an issue around billing, as our initial guest count was smaller than our actual guest count. When we paid, we informed them the payment they had asked was for the smaller guest count and needed to be changed, and they told us that it was fine. The week of the wedding, we received a call from them informing us that we had an overdue balance for the extra guest count. This call made it appeared as though the error was on our end, even though we had informed them at the time of payment that the guest count was wrong. So overall, I give the venue itself a 5 visually, but the venue management a 1 or 2.

We wanted a winery that wasn't too far from major airports and also felt private, which seemed tricky to attain as many wineries are open to the public even the day of weddings. Since Nella Terra is a private winery and tucked away in the hillside, but close enough to major cities and airports, it checked all our boxes and more! Not to mention the staircase entrance for the processional--I had guests say they gasped when they saw me because it was so striking! The vendors they require you to work with are wonderful as well--it's a large property so very helpful to have vendors who know the grounds through and through.

The IPA in the premium beverage package is highly ranked on Beer Advocate. Last but not least, Nella Terra Cellars wines are consistently really good across all varietals! Out advice for couples is to make sure you book enough time for the reception. Our ceremony began at 4 and the wedding ended at 9pm.

Nella Terra is one of the reasons why our wedding was so perfect. The venue itself is the most beautiful little oasis with so many different gorgeous areas for photos. Take your pick from the golden hills, lush green vines, ponds, etc. The land...
scaping of the venue is great. Our photos turned out amazing, especially sunset photos taken on the hills. There is a beautiful long staircase that the bride is able to make her grand entrance from for the ceremony, which makes you feel like Cinderella entering the ball. There is also a great place to set up for cocktails right outside the reception tent area, which makes the transition from cocktails to reception seamless. We also were able to have a cornhole game set up and a firepit lounge area to keep guests entertained during cocktails, giving you plenty of time to take photos uninterrupted. This venue has something for everyone. Not only is this a beautiful setting for your special day, the staff is extra attentive. We had champagne in the cutest country-style bridal suite, and the boys had their own area to hang out in prior to the ceremony. Whitney from Nella Terra went above and beyond to assist us with any questions we had during our planning process, and we were even surprised at the end of the reception with our names projected onto the hills, which was so special. We were so lucky to have found Nella Terra, and if we could go back and do it all over again, we would choose Nella Terra in a heartbeat.

My husband and I got married about a year ago at Nella Terra, and we continue to be in awe at the BEAUTY, UNIQUENESS, KINDNESS OF STAFF, and of course all the magical moments we had while celebrating our marriage that Nella Terra helped make po...
ssible. When my husband and I started our wedding venue shopping, we were looking for a venue that represented California, had the capacity of being able to accommodate our large wedding party/guests, and full of natural beauty. We quickly learned that Nella Terra hit all these points for us, and so many more. First off, Nella Terra is an absolute diamond of a wedding venue and offers the whole package. It is truly a hidden gem, nestled in the rolling golden CA hills (which was a must have on my husband’s list). The grounds are absolutely stunning, and truly picturesque, there are so many beautiful photography spots. We loved how the ceremony site was only a few steps away from the reception area, and the gazebo for cocktail hour is a great place for all your guests to enjoy a glass of wine or beer before the reception starts! As the bride, one of my favorite things about Nella Terra is the grand cascading staircase. It makes for the perfect entrance to the beginning of such a breathtaking and magical wedding day. I continue to cherish that moment walking down the staircase, taking the whole venue in and seeing all our wedding plans come to life. A few other items that we would like to mention: The benefit of having the option for “indoor” and outdoor. Having the large tent for the reception could be used for the ceremony if weather doesn’t cooperate. Even though the venue is quite large, having a smaller more intimate wedding, particularly during social distancing times would be absolutely beautiful and would still be able to provide you with the same beautiful and magical wedding day experience that you are dreaming of. There is TONS of parking for all your guests. The bridal cottage is so cute, and a fun place for the bride and all her gals to hangout in before the big moment! We cannot say enough about the Nella Terra Staff; very professional, responsive, and accommodating to certain questions and requests my husband and I had. We loved that Nella Terra made us feel like family and there were so many personal touches that made us feel special. Thank you to Whitney, Kendall, and Sharde for all their hard work that helped make our day super special and flawless and all other Nella Terra staff working behind the scenes. This review wouldn’t be complete without mentioning their wine. Absolutely delicious, and there are many varieties to choose from! We are big pinot noir fans, and their wine does not disappoint! We are proud Nella terra wine club members and look forward to swinging by the winery to pick up our quarterly shipments, it is a way for us to enjoy the grounds and the beauty that Nella Terra offers. Not to mention reliving our wedding day each time we pick up our wine shipment. So, you must add Nella Terra to your list of venues to visit, and if you are like us, will quickly realize it is a one of a kind wedding venue!

There are so many photo opportunities for both wedding couples and guests: the long staircase, the bridge, the pond and trees, the grass fields, the large “LOVE” sign, etc. There’s also a very nice onsite bridal suite that brides can use when getting ready (air conditioned and furnished). We had guests flying from all over (domestically and internationally) and we wanted to make sure we chose a venue that was worth the trip and was nearby other attractions. I couldn’t recommend this venue enough for future brides. We have unforgettable memories and cherished photos from our wedding day thanks to Nella Terra. Aside from weddings, they also have tastings, sell wine, and host different events. Luckily this means my husband and I can take advantage of this and visit often when in town for date nights or when we want to walk down memory lane! Even if you aren’t looking for a wedding venue, still come check this place out for delicious wine and beautiful views. Tip: definitely take golden hour photos in their tall grass fields. The landscape is just breathtaking!

our elderly parents who could attend with little to no problems. We decided to pay Nella Terra's exorbitant fees for a Friday night wedding in September 2020. Everything was going well until the COVID-19 pandemic started earlier this year. We did not hear a word from Nella Terra during the early stages of the pandemic until our second payment was due. At this point Nella Terra did not mention anything regarding postponing the payment, delaying our event, or any mention of the pandemic and its effects on weddings in 2020. It was clear they just wanted their money. We didn't hear anything back from Nella Terra until my fiance and I got ansty in March as the country shut down and the pandemic set in on the entire world. We expressed our concerns with hosting a wedding at their venue and particularly the safety of our parents, grandparents, and other at risk groups. Nella Terra did not appear concerned about the pandemic and assured us that it would be a non-issue for weddings in September, they were wrong. As the pandemic grew out of control through the summer we still never heard from Nella Terra until we again reached out reiterating our concerns from before and asking for a refund because it was clear that Nella Terra wouldn't be able to host what we agreed to originally. At this point Nella Terra was willing to admit that the pandemic was an issue and offered us some options to reschedule. These options were not reasonable and left us feeling like Nella Terra was trying to maximize their profit for 2020 and 2021. For example, after paying a high premium for an in wedding season evening event, Nella Terra offers us a Saturday morning (we would have to be out of sight by 2pm for the night wedding). The worst part is, if we want to host a wedding on a Friday in September 2021, we would have to pay an additional deposit of $6,000. According to Whitney, our original deposit "vanished". It is clear Nella Terra is not interested in dealing with couples currently affected by this pandemic because they are still advertising venue tours for new couples and various other options for reduced priced events. None of these options were made available to us because Nella Terra is only interested in maximizing the amount of money they can make during the COVID-19 pandemic. At this point, the idea of our dream wedding is long gone. We would never have agreed to a contract with Nella Terra if we had known what kind of people we were dealing with. We just want our money back and to move on. We all have better things to do with our lives, especially right now. For some reason Nella Terra continues to draw this out in the hopes we will cancel and they can enforce their contract and run away with our money without providing any services. STAY AWAY FROM NELLA TERRA

I'm writing as a disappointed groom-to-be, and feel compelled to warn any couples from booking their wedding with Nella Terra. While we were impressed with the venue, we are livid with how NT and their required coordinator, Simply Lovely, are t...
reating couples impacted by COVID19. Their business practices are shameful. For some background, we paid a premium to have our wedding scheduled for a Saturday in early June. Due to the 'shelter in place' order, we've been completely unable to continue planning our wedding, as all the contractors and businesses we need to work with, in addition to Nella Terra, are closed. So those businesses providing tuxes and scheduled fittings, my fiancé's and bridesmaids wedding dresses, caterers, entertainment etc. are all strictly shut down. To make things worse, Nella Terra has been a nightmare to work with throughout this ordeal. Initially, they downplayed the seriousness of the crisis and ignored our concerns stating there would be no issue having the wedding in early June. As the crisis worsened and CA instituted a lockdown, they seemed to better understand the severity of the crisis. Now with our wedding an impossibility, they are unwilling to reschedule us for the equivalent of what we have contracted for. Our contract clearly states in the event of an Act of God, Nella Terra will reschedule pending availability at no penalty. Since their Saturday schedule is booked thru Thanksgiving 2020, while it is not ideal, a postponement of our wedding another year to the Summer of 2021 would be a solution to at least consider. We requested to move our rescheduled wedding date to one of the many Saturdays they have open in Summer 2021, and were completely denied any of those open dates. They informed us this would be a loss of future revenue to them. The owners' correspondence has been callous, adding insult to injury. Due to their unwillingness to provide us what we contracted for, we requested a refund. The owners literally scoffed at us while refusing to even listen to our situation. They were quick to enforce the part of the contract that states there will be no refunds, but refuse to honor the part that states we can reschedule pending availability with no penalty. We paid for a Saturday Summer wedding which was important to us as most of our guests are traveling from out of state. NT has repeatedly refused to allow us to reschedule for a Saturday that is open on their calendar, instead offering us Monday through Thursday options in 2021. We would never have contracted for a weekday wedding. They also refuse to refund the difference in price from a weekend to weekday. Their reasoning is those dates are reserved for new clients only, because they need to consider the health of their business and prices are increasing in 2021. If we want to move our date to a Saturday next summer, we would have to forfeit all current payments (~$24K) and then pay the increased 2021 price. How is this not profiteering or extortion? It's clear to us NT is only concerned with making sure they don't miss a single cent of revenue, while cheating current clients out of what they paid for. We feel held hostage given we've paid almost the entire sum for the wedding. My fiancé is devastated, given how much she's put into planning this wedding for over a year now. To be taken advantage of by a business trying to profit off a world health crisis has us at a loss for words. The owners at NT should be ashamed of themselves.

Hi Josh, We're very saddened by your disappointment, and also that you're upset enough to encourage numerous friends and family to write one star reviews for our small family business. Please understand that this virus is also affecting our...
small business, like many others, and I'm truly sorry if our communication has been poorly received. As with everyone else, we're taking in the new COVID-19 information daily and doing our best to plan for our scheduled events accordingly. We do not take this pandemic lightly and we are in no way downplaying the severity of its impact. As of today (4/15/2020), there has been no directive from federal, state, or local government that your wedding on 6/6/2020 should be moved or cancelled. We have however proactively opened communication to plan contingencies. Ultimately, your contingency plan is your decision but we've given you many options to choose from to execute your dream wedding with us within our mutually agreed upon contracted terms. Here are the options presented to you and all our other 30 couples scheduled at the venue through June: * Host a small ceremony on your scheduled day (abiding by all current laws and regulations put forth by the government) at no additional cost * Reschedule to any available date this year (including Saturdays in the Fall and other Friday and Sunday availability) at no additional cost * Reschedule to Mon-Thurs next year in 2021 at no additional cost * Reschedule to a weekend date next year, which would include a re-booking fee. We know this scenario is not ideal but after crunching numbers we would not be able to stay in business if we offered a weekend in 2021 without a new facility fee. * Livestream your wedding for those at high-risk with our high-speed internet onsite This situation is not ideal for anyone and nobody deserves what is happening right now. We hope that you will stop threatening to destroy the reputation of a small business, and understand that as a small business, we must look to the future and ensure our survival while also accommodating all of our brides and grooms. It's our intention to be fair and offer the same options to everyone affected by the COVID-19 government mandated regulations. We cannot host events during this pandemic and we still face our usual operating costs of taxes, payroll, maintenance and upkeep of our grounds/vineyards in order to keep the venue looking beautiful when we return to normalcy. We're constantly networking with our fellow event venues in the region, and we find our offerings to be on-par-with or better-than the industry standards. We hope you and your loved ones stay safe. -Nella Terra Cellars

iety of areas we had for our pictures. We had our wedding this past September so the the hills were golden and made for epic sunset pictures. The garden resulted in pictures of a completely different feel, almost like we were in an oasis in Palm Springs or something similar. The vineyards, which my now-husband said was his favorite part, was a lovely backdrop for our bridal party and family pictures. There's also a small waterfall and two bridges too. Literally so many options! Speaking of the vineyard, I loved that my walk 'down the aisle' included the stairs that go in between the vines. You can opt to only do half the stairs (or no stairs at all depending on your needs) but I chose to do the full 74 steps. It's such a surreal feeling to be standing at the top, walking towards your friends, your family, and the person that you're about to say forever to. I also really liked having our reception in their tent. When we signed our contract last year, we were told there were plans that they would put in a permanent farm house. I'm not sure what the current status or plan is but the tent was lovely. We got the smaller package but decided to add on the drapery. I highly recommend it because it gives such a romantic feel to the space. I still can't get over how pretty the drapery when I look at pictures or videos. I also have to mention that our experience with the staff was great. From scheduling the tour, to signing our contract, and then the actual day-of, everyone was so nice and easy to work with. If I could travel back in time to re-do our wedding, I would still choose Nella Terra Cellars!

She was a huge help to us as we navigated the questions that inevitably come up during the planning process. The one thing I hope can be improved in the future is the restrictions. We were required to sign contracts with a planner and caterer that Nella Terra had an exclusive partnership with. While this arrangement is beneficial to helping run the wedding since all of these people need to work closely together and it definitely helps if they work together frequently and know the venue well, it also binds you to what pricing options and services those vendors offer. It also creates a dynamic where it sometimes feels like your vendors are working for Nella Terra instead of you. I would advise negotiating on the planning services. I chose the cheapest plan on the planner's provided list but realized later that I was doing most of the planning and my planner was actually functioning more as a day of coordinator. The planner also operates for Nella Terra ensuring that you fulfill Nella Terra requirements - ex: providing proof of insurance and signed code of conduct from external vendors. I think having a few more options to choose from for both planning and catering would improve the experience for future couples while also maintaining a smooth working relationship with Nella Terra. Another suggestion could be to bring day of coordination in house. All in all, we had a wonderful experience at Nella Terra on our wedding day. The Nella Terra staff and partners took good care of us - running all the coordination and details so we could enjoy the ride. It's hard to describe how special it is - but really all of the planning and work that culminates in a single jam packed day is totally worth it. It's one of those days you want to savor and re-live every minute.

Honestly could not thank Nella Terra enough for all they did to make our wedding day so special!!! They worked with us respecting our budget and made things happen for us that we did not think we would be able to afford. Honestly for what you g...
et with this venue it is worth every penny! The staff is more than responsive, they are kind and you really feel like they value you as a couple. If you want a show stopping venue and a wedding that will be talked about for years to come you should definitely check this venue out!

Nella Terra is an absolute wonderful property to host a wedding. This venue was absolutely breathtaking and was truly the best night of our lives. The staff was on top of every aspect of the event. Their list of vendors were beyond professional...
and kind. They all knew of each other due to previous work, which was very helpful. The property has so many stunning views, that led to priceless images that will last a lifetime. We would recommend this venue to everyone, not one detail we would change.

We couldn't have picked a better venue than Nella Terra Cellars to have our wedding at! Our guests raved about how it was the most beautiful and funnest wedding they had ever been to. The venue is gorgeous and worth every penny. We had the pl...
easure of working with Whitney who helped us through the whole booking process and was even there to help us on our wedding day. Our wedding was seamless and the photographer could not stop commenting on the endless opportunities for photos. As an added bonus, the wine is delicious. I would recommend touring Nella Terra Cellars for your wedding venue, or at the very least to try their wines. Nella Terra Cellars was second on our places to tour, and after we viewed it, we knew it was where we wanted to get married. Save yourself the time and come here, you won't be disappointed.

We were married at Nella Terra in August 2018. We had both our ceremony and reception onsite. We toured a number of Bay Area wedding venues, and this is hands down one of the most breathtaking outdoor settings you'll find! We still get comments...
from guests on the beauty of Nella Terra. It was the perfect backdrop for gorgeous wedding photos that we'll treasure for a lifetime! I will never forget the moment the curtains opened, and I walked down the staircase arm-in-arm with my parents towards my soon-to-be husband. We worked with Whitney, and briefly Kendall while Whitney was on maternity leave. Both were prompt with replies and helpful in answering our many questions. They were kind and understanding - absolute pleasures to work with! We appreciated their flexibility in allowing us to bring in vendors outside their preferred list (aside from the caterer). The bridal suite is a beautiful, spacious and air-conditioned two-room building. It was a great place for my bridesmaids and I to gather before the ceremony. The groom's suite is a garage that's been converted to a tasting room for the winery. It served its purpose considering none of us had much time in our pre-wedding rooms. We were required to use On the Vine Catering for all of our food and beverage needs. Our guests liked it - we went with a taco bar! Naturally, all of our wine was from Nella Terra. We splurged on the wine & beer package so we could select our own wines, and they were all incredible! We didn't have a choice in beer, but people seemed to enjoy the one offered (a blonde from Altamont Brewery, I believe). I've read the bathrooms as luxury porta potties, but they have flushable toilets, are incredibly clean and tastefully decorated! We didn't have, nor hear, any complaints about them. There was also a wheelchair-accessible option for those who couldn't climb the stairs. For less mobile guests, they also offer a golf cart to get from the parking lot to the ceremony site below (the shuttle the majority of the guests use has some steps). If we had to do it all over again, we'd choose Nella
