About this vendor
Vineyard Hacienda, located in Spring Valley, CA, is a breathtaking wedding venue. Nestled at the base of a wildlife preserve, this setting makes the most of the mountainous countryside. This nine-acre venue offers a tranquil space for your milestone occasion while still being close to countless amenities. Downtown San Diego is 20 minutes away by car, with San Diego International Airport taking just a few minutes longer.
Vineyard Hacienda was first established in the 1930s in the traditional Spanish style, complete with hardwood and red tile. In the 1990s, owner Gladys Novinger, her father, and her son lovingly transformed the grounds to accent the architecture of the hacienda. Gladys works alongside her son, Joseph, and her husband, George, in welcoming couples to the scenic venue.
Vineyard Hacienda can comfortably accommodate up to 200 guests. There are both indoor and outdoor spaces to choose from, so you can pick the one that best fits your vision. The ceremony area, in front of the house, offers landscaped gardens and trees, so you can exchange your vows under the warm California sun. You can also head further into the grounds, just off the quaint red tile pathways. You can dine outdoors under the trees and string bistro lighting from branch to branch for a dash of romance. Just one event at a time is held here so you can rest assured that you have privacy on your milestone day. There are a number of event packages to choose from, all of which include tables, chairs, linens, a dance floor, and seven rooms for on-site accommodation. There is also a team of cleaning staff and parking attendants to help you and your guests. This picturesque venue is also available for honeymoons.

My Husband and I just had a beautiful wedding with Vineyard Hacienda and I can't recommend this place and these people enough. Since our first meeting until the days following the ...
wedding they constantly exceeded our expectations. First, the venue itself it absolutely beautiful. It's a hidden gem that all of our guests absolutely raved about saying it was probably the most beautiful venue they had ever seen. The inside is definitely a bit eclectic so have that in mind but our close friends who stayed at the venue had so much fun with it. There is a 'pharaoh' room that was fought over 100% because everyone wanted it. Speaking of staying at the venue- we opted to reserve all 7 rooms (some were included in our wedding package and some were additional) for the weekend which meant that the entire place was ours, I don't think we could have had this experience anywhere else and it made it feel like a destination wedding even though we were just a few minutes out of the city. Definitely recommend. There were also two kittens and two lovely dogs at the venue that made for an extra special surprise. Some of my family were afraid of dogs so we had to ask them to be kept away but they were absolutely adorable and the staff was accommodating to our request.
Now, as far as a wedding package and planning with Joe, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. We had opted to use mostly our own vendors naively thinking that would be easier and throughout the process I kept going back to Joe and asking for recommendations- he was so knowledgeable and recommended great people to work with and was willing to help us coordinate, not something most coordinators would do. He was also always available through text for any questions. When we finally got to the last few days his entire staff including the bartender! went above and beyond. There were so many little things that we needed last minute that everyone jumped in to help out and on the day itself we had beautiful moments with each member. Patty took beautiful photos of my dress while I waited to go down the aisle, Joe professionally handled everything from late guests to making sure everything was setup flawlessly and Jason, the bartender, knew how to keep the party going- I think he became friends with every guest there and even handcrafted a wedding present for me and my husband- the sweetest gesture ever.
Overall we couldn't have asked for a better experience, there are so many little details and things included with our 'package' that were unexpected and truly a dream that I can't even fit in this review.
My final statement- while reading some of the other reviews there are things that are true- there is no official 'check-in desk' the inside is bit dark and quirky but I think you have to keep in mind that this is more of a private boutique experience that feels like you're living with family rather than some large chain hotel. If you embrace the love that is put into this place and can enjoy it's unique charm then you will absolutely love it- I guarantee. I would recommend this venue 100 times over!

The most magical venue! Fell in love the moment I stepped into its grounds!
I love this Hacienda feel, exactly what we were looking for an outdoor wedding. This venue has it all, beautiful grounds, location, space, privacy and on-site accommodations. Staff...
are friendly and accommodating. Truly an amazing venue.
Vineyard Hacienda is a hidden gem! My husband and I were so incredibly delighted to find this beautiful venue (with The Knot's help!) just 5 minutes from where we grew up. It was e...
xactly what we were looking for - an incredible outdoor venue that is lush and green all year long! Vineyard Hacienda's package options are incredible too. Joe, the coordinator, is great! He kept us calm and excited about the big day and on the day of he made sure everything was running super smooth! The vendors were also amazing to work with. I think one of the greatest aspects of the venue (besides it's garden grounds) is the fact that we got to stay at the venue after the wedding was over. Our bridal party and ourselves got to relax in the pool and the Jacuzzi after the big day and really enjoyed getting to wind down with our closest friends! Thank you so much, everyone! Our day was exactly what we'd hoped it would be!
