About This Vendor

Let us make your special day perfect too!

Ventosa Vineyards is a wedding venue located in Geneva, NY. Though nestled in Upstate New York, the property exudes a Tuscan ambience thanks to its Italian-inspired architecture and picturesque vineyards. Ventosa Vineyards offers beautiful settings where milestone moments can take place. Ceremonies can take place on the venue's lush lawns, overlooking the vineyards or beside towering trees. After tying the knot, couples can host cocktail hours and receptions in the La Vista é Bella Ballroom. Handpainted Tuscan-inspired murals line the walls, creating a warm, inviting ambience for momentous occasions. The interior's large wrought iron chandeliers and wall sconces make the atmosphere even more magical. Thanks to the space's 700-square-foot hardwood dance floor and the hand-carved mahogany bar, newlyweds and their loved ones will be able to enjoy themselves from start to finish. Those celebrating in the ballroom can even step out to the expansive terrace for a breath of fresh air. Here, they'll be able to admire sweeping vineyard views. Throughout the festivities, couples and their wedding parties will have access to the entire estate for breathtaking photo opportunities. Ventosa Vineyards is dedicated to helping couples create unforgettable events that reflect their one-of-a-kind love stories. To simplify planning experiences, the venue has compiled a list of recommended local vendors for to-be-weds to refer to. No matter your event's size or type, the culinary team will prepare delicious food and provide attentive dining services. Every soup, dressing, and sauce will be made in-house on the day of your occasion, resulting in fresh, flavorful dishes. The team looks forward to meeting you to begin curating your happily-ever-after celebration.

Ventosa Vineyards Reviews

Reviewed On 12/31/2021 by Alexandra G
Living out of town and planning a wedding in the throes of pandemic shutdowns, we chose Ventosa as our ceremony and reception venue sight unseen; this turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. RJ did a great job adapting to virtual we...
dding planning, as he outlined all of our options and Ventosa procedures over the phone, even giving us a FaceTime tour of the banquet hall. I think what really made our decision so easy, besides their great reviews, was the beautiful outdoor ceremony space looking over the vineyard and lake, and the banquet hall that required very little additional decorating to be wedding-ready. For the year and a half approaching the wedding, RJ was always available to answer questions and make changes. A few months before the wedding, we were in town and visited Ventosa to do some food tasting. It was at this point we knew that the food was going to be an absolute hit. We went with the poached salmon, NY strip steak, and chicken bianco - all of which we highly recommend. We also met the chef that day, who assured us that he's able to easily accommodate for just about any dietary restriction you can think of. Fast forward to the big weekend, and we didn't have to lift a finger. We did our rehearsal the afternoon before the wedding, which is when we met Kathy, the ceremony coordinator. She walked us through all of our options and made sure everything was figured out so there were no questions left unanswered come the next day. We even had a questionable weather forecast, something Kathy was keeping her eye on should we need to make any last minute changes. The day of the wedding was absolutely perfect. When we showed up for first look, Kathy greeted us, ushered us to where we needed to be, and left us to our photographers. When parents showed up, she was there with a golf cart to get them where they needed to be. After pictures were done, we had a little downtime before the ceremony, and Kathy ensured that we were comfortable, hydrated, and hidden from some early-arriving guests! The clouds cleared up, the sun came out, and the ceremony went as beautifully as it was planned. During the reception, the Ventosa staff somehow found a way to work diligently while also barely being noticed. The bartenders worked fast, the wait-staff worked efficiently, and everyone did it with a smile on their face. As we anticipated, we still have guests telling us to this day that Ventosa served the best food they've ever had at a wedding. When the night came to an end, the staff worked quickly to get cleaned up, even though we never felt pressured to get out the door. The next day we stopped to pick up some decorations and leftover cake, which was handled with great care. Ventosa provided us and countless guests with a night we will never forget - something I can't thank Ventosa, RJ, Kathy, the Chef, and the rest of the staff enough for. We will always stop buy for a glass of wine and some lunch whenever we're in the area. Some tips for people considering Ventosa for their wedding: -Sneak away from your reception and see if the staff will let you and your photographer down in the wine cellar for some fantastic photos. -If you want to offer a steak, give the NY Strip some serious consideration before blindly going with the filet. The strip is to die for. -Try to get some sunset photos in the vineyard and by the lake -If you're getting married in the FLX, do it at Ventosa.

e was very quick to respond to our questions and concerns. When I told RJ we wanted to plan a star wars themed wedding he basically gave me permission to let my imagination run...and run it did. RJ was extremely helpful from start to finish and made sure my husband and I along with our party were well taken care of. Though I coordinated mainly with RJ, the staff at ventosa also deserve special recognition. Never have I ever been to a place where staff went above and beyond. Phyllis was especially wonderful. She swapped out entrees for a couple that received the wrong dish (entirely the brides fault not ventosa) she also saw me talking rather animatedly to some of my friends and she could tell in was upset about something, I told her what was going on with a transportation service we had booked that didn't show and she went ahead and called them on my behalf. She informed me she just wanted to make sure I was happy and having the perfect day. I couldn't repay her for everything shes done she was fabulous. Our day of coordinator, Chris [sorry if I got that wrong) was also wonderful she ensured we got where we needed to go as well as made sure we were all lined up in the order we needed to be. In addition to their service their food was also top notch. Our guests are still raving about it! I cant say enough about this beautiful place and their staff. My husband and I will be sure to come up to enjoy it every now and then.

staff and especially RJ are out of this world amazing. RJ is one of the best. He answered every single question I had, even when I was just being a nervous bride, he never made like I was asking too many questions. He has everything so well organized that you never feel nervous about what's going to happen. RJ made my now husband and me so amazingly comfortable during the entire process and always made sure we knew our options. When there was a slight chance we wouldn't be able to have the ceremony outside, RJ was upfront with us, but still made sure we would do everything possible to have it outside. Luckily for us the weather turned in our favor, and it was all stunning! The event staff were extremely attentive and made sure the guests were having a great time. Phyllis went above and beyond making sure we were eating, drinking, and having a great time. I have ZERO complaints. I strongly, STRONGLY, recommend anyone having their wedding at Ventosa. We can't wait to go back and celebrate our 1 year anniversary there! Thank you SO much RJ & Staff!!!! I am the happiest bride in the world.

After visiting several venues in the fingerlakes area, we decided that Ventosa was the perfect place for us and we definitely made the right decision! RJ was very helpful throughout the entire planning process - always answering any questions ...
and providing new ideas. Ventosa handled all of the day of details and they did a wonderful job doing so and in return everything ran smoothly. Our reception immediately followed our ceremony and my husband and I were out in the vineyard taking pictures during this time so a waiter brought out a tray of appetizers to us so that we didn't miss out - I thought that was very thoughtful! The food was great and all of our guests seemed to enjoy it. I am on a gluten free diet due to a health condition and they were very accommodating with our food choices. The chef even came out and talked to us about each of the dishes and what we liked during our tasting. We wanted to serve our dinner family style and Ventosa was more than willing to work with us on that and it turned out great! Another great feature that Ventosa has to offer is their view. The view over the vineyard and lake is breathtaking! My parents surprised us with fireworks at the reception and they were absolutely perfect over the lake. We would recommend Ventosa hands down to anyone looking for a wedding venue. :-)

took a long time (we had 3 courses), and that there wasnt really anyone checking in with us to see if we needed anything. Our waitress was very nice, but there were no managers/bridal attendant tending to us.
