Nestled in the heart of Sutter Creek, our venue is just steps from one of California’s most charming small towns. Main Street is lined with wine tasting rooms, cozy restaurants, local bars, and welcoming shops — all walkable and full of character. Think Stars Hollow or a Hallmark movie, where the pace is slower, the people are friendly, and the town feels like home. With boutique hotels and inns within walking distance, your guests can settle in and fully enjoy the weekend — no shuttles or long drives required. Located in Amador County’s wine country, the region offers Napa-like roads & wineries without the crowds — making it the perfect backdrop for a relaxed and unforgettable celebration.

Awarded Best of Zola
We knew that we wanted to get married at David Girard Vineyards as soon as we toured the property. It is truly magical and breathtaking place, and Justin Sawyer (on-site wedding management team) was so professional and helpful. The venue was very flexible in allowing us access as we needed for rehearsal and on the day-of (bridal suite, etc.). I would absolutely recommend this venue to other couples. We had the most stunning and memorable wedding day here - I would not change a single thing! Thank you Justin & DGV!
