Naturally Beautiful
Getting married at Fortino Winery was an easy decision, both when booking and in hindsight. This all inclusive style venue took the stress out of wedding planning and left me the more fun parts. I really appreciated getting to focus on design and personalizing the wedding day, rather than tending to things like finding table and chair rentals or tracking down linens. From beginning to end, the staff at Fortino Winery made the whole wedding process feel smooth, doable, and magical. My two absolute favorite features of this venue are the scenery and the food. First, the scenery: the redwood trees are absolutely beautiful, both in person and in photos. They provided a surreal backdrop and feel for our ceremony (and reception), and every time I see photos or videos from our day, I’m still in awe of the trees. Then on another side, you have rolling hills of the vineyard, golden and effortlessly beautiful. Our sweetheart table sat in front of the vineyard, and we took our bridal portraits there too. No matter where you look, the scenery is natural and inviting. We had about 200 guests, and everyone that I’ve heard from (including my husband and I) loved the food. We did a tasting beforehand of course, so I knew how good the food could be, but buffet style can be hit or miss. HOWEVER, believe me when I tell you, Fortino does not miss. Everything they served was great, even for an event this size. I’m not kidding, so many people went out of their way to tell me how impressed they were with the food. One thing that was more of a happy coincidence: I love that the winery is a place I can visit anytime. The first time my husband and I went back after the wedding, it was like reliving a really good dream. Getting to sip wine, walk around, and reminisce was so much fun. I hadn’t considered this before the wedding, but in retrospect, I’m really glad the venue we chose is easy to visit, and I can’t wait to do this for years to come. I also want to credit the staff for making the day of operations go so well. Any hiccup they encountered was handled swiftly, quietly, and confidently. Fortino gave me the gift of trusting them, and in turn, I was able to be present and enjoy everything. My wedding day at Fortino Winery was one of the happiest days of my life, and I’m very thankful for the role they played in making it so.
