Hello, there… you might remember just a couple of weeks back I did a rundown of some of my favorite Temecula wedding locations. Today I am going to take a closer look at Ponte Winery.

Picture yourself surrounded by lush emerald vines and fragrant flowers, exchanging vows with your soul mate while your friends and family look on, sunshine sparkling on the tranquil pond at your feet. Ponte Winery’s sprawling 300-acre vineyard provides a stunning big-day backdrop with the rustic charm and touch of class couples crave—and it’s only an hour away.

In the heart of Temecula Wine Country, Ponte Winery offers three unique wedding sites to make your dreams come true: a private vineyard setting with breathtaking mountain views, perfect for larger weddings, as it can accommodate up to 400 guests; a serene waterside site at its chic Four Diamond boutique hotel; and its intimate, chandelier-lit barrel room, where guests are enveloped in sweet aromas of oak and wine. As an added bonus, each couple will have a top-notch wedding coordinator who will assist in the detailed planning process and, with the help of a wedding day hostess, will make sure your nuptials are flawless.

Reception spaces include the aforementioned barrel room, a California-ranch-style vineyard pavilion with panoramic views, and a mahogany and stone reserve room complete with its own private patio. Guests awaiting your grand entrance will be treated to butler-passed hors d’oeuvres. The plated or buffet-style main course from Ponte’s award-winning California cuisine is filled with upscale dishes guests are sure to enjoy, such as succulent prime rib, sustainably farmed grilled salmon, and vegetarian fare. And don’t forget to raise a toast with any of Ponte’s wonderful red, white, or sparkling wines.

After the festivities end, newlyweds can kick off their dancing shoes and relax in their own luxurious complimentary king room at Ponte Vineyard Inn, stacked with modern amenities and a custom-made gown-size armoire. Your guests won’t have to hit the road, either—the TripAdvisor Top 10 Hotel’s 90 rooms come replete in cushy furnishing, stylish decor, and incredible vineyard views. We won’t blame you if you want to squeeze a little more time in wine country with a farewell breakfast at Ponte’s full-service restaurant, Bouquet. Don’t miss a mimosa made with Ponte moscato.

Let Ponte Winery pamper you on your wedding day. Focus on creating beautiful memories that will last a lifetime and let Ponte Winery do the rest.
