We recently had our daughter’s first birthday party here. It was very spacious and I didn’t have to stress in case it rained because they have a covered pavilion. They were very flexible to work with and everyone loved the space! I would highly recommend this venue. I think it’s a great space for all types of celebrations! The bonus part was the kids being able to feed the animals!

My husband and I had our wedding at the Inn at Grace Winery in August, and I cannot emphasize enough how perfect it was, all thanks to the incredible staff at the Inn at Grace Winery. Tori and her team were fantastic to work with throughout the wedding planning process, answering every question we had, and working to make the weekend so special from start to finish. They are true professionals and thought of every detail. The property is so beautiful, not the mention the incredible wine and delicious food.
