The Highlands Estate - Barn And Vineyard Venue

Set at a high elevation, The Estate overlooks the majestic hills and vineyards of the Yorkville Highlands Valley. From nearly every vantage point on the property there are miles of unobstructed and differing views to the beautiful rural countryside surrounding the property. Situated on the southwestern portion of the property is the Farmhouse-style Victorian Estate. An old-growth oak tree surrounded by the upper vineyard that overlooks the Estate and valleys beyond. Leading up to the Estate and dividing the upper and lower Syrah vineyards is the driveway lined by plum trees. Moving further east from the Estate is the pond. Should guests self-drive, your guests are picked up by our included eco-friendly electric shuttle and transported directly to the ceremony site. There are never any great distances for your guests to walk, regardless if they drive themselves or come on a bus. On the southeastern portion of the property is the Four Seasons Barn, the adjoining Terrace and the ceremony area with the arbor.

Shaded by old-growth oak trees from the afternoon sun, guests will enjoy seeing the couple framed by the arbor and set against the breathtaking and unobstructed views of vineyards and hills beyond. The grand steps from the Terrace down to the ceremony area provide an impressive entrance. The Four Seasons Barn is entered directly from the Terrace through ornate massive doors. Six dimmable wagon-wheel chandeliers with fairy-lights create a romantic and warm atmosphere for all. Fully climate controlled, guests will be comfortable regardless of the temperature outside. As this is where the dancing takes place, an acoustically tuned sound system is in place, keeping the floor space clear of any speakers and providing immersive sound. Two sets of French doors on the south side lead to the covered but open-air area. With fans in place providing a refreshing breeze on warmer days, the area is used for everything from cocktail hour to a relaxed and quieter space to a place for “the guys” to hang out.

The Oak Tree, on the Estate side of the property and surrounded by our Syrah vines of our upper vineyard, may be used for ceremonies of up to 100 guests. The Oak Tree offers expansive views of the Estate, vineyards, hills and mountains to the east. This is the wonderful location for couples wishing to be surrounded by vineyards and shaded by an old-growth oak tree.

Two ceremony locations. Outdoor terrace is 4,500 square feet. Modern barn is 3,400 square feet.
