  • Up to 200 guests
  • Raw space

  • Starts at $5,750

Our historic Old Stone Building, two stories of Old World masonry and spectacular Douglas Fir wood beams, presents an ideal setting for your wedding celebration. The beautifully landscaped grounds provide a memorable backdrop for your special event. This site is a wonderful setting for an indoor and outdoor wedding, with options to hold the ceremony both in the Stone Building overlooking the vineyards or on the lawn beside bocce courts, surrounded by vineyards. The Old Stone Building is the perfect setting for the most spectacular day, providing an incredible backdrop for capturing that special picture, a classically beautiful room for dinner, and the space to dance the night away.

Trione is one of my favorite wineries to visit and also work with. I especially love their Wine maker Dinners. There staff is always so sweet and accommodating, they have delicious wine and such a great place to just hang out and enjoy wine. I also work with them in through the events industry and have loved working with them over the past 10 years. They have one of the best teams out there. I have been a guest at a couple of their weddings and have had such a great time. I recommend them on all levels!

Ru's Farm At Healdsburg Country Gardens Weddings 

5.0

Healdsburg, CA
  • Up to 160 guests
  • Raw space
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $16,000

You are at such an exciting point in your life. And you are already dreaming of your special day ... Ru's Farm is a truly wonderful place that combines the very best of Sonoma’s wine country and farm lands ... rolling estate vineyards, amazing gardens and lawns, and an incredible barn built in 1902. Towering over it all is our 100-year old majestic cork oak tree, which really does add a special magic to the whole place. The barn, gardens, lawn, vineyards and farm buildings are all places where you can create your own magic. The garden has an abundance of plants and flowers including lavender, roses, rosemary, and sage - along with fruit + olive trees. The lawn looks out over the vineyards + is perfectly situated to watch the valley glow as the sun sets. There are even farm cottages to get ready in before your guests arrive. We are all about the details + providing you with a breathless backdrop. We know these are memories will last for a lifetime, we would be honored to host you.

We had a magical wedding at Ru's. 100% would go for Ru's again. We lucked out with the weather but regardless, there is a lot of shade for guests (especially in the ceremony/dinner areas). The lighting is incredible. The lush lavender and olive trees makes the setting feel fairy-tale like and unique. We loved that everything was spaced out enough but also close together -- giving a homey/backyard and also elevated feel. Guests commented on how much they loved it too. We appreciated that you can BYOB. Ru's does offer some items to borrow but we elected to rent items for a specific feel (also note that you will be required to rent kitchen items such as an oven unless your caterer provides that). The cottage is also clutch and super nice. Working with Lele and Kristen was super great too. Having a hard time finding drawbacks!
