Wedding Receptions & Celebrations
Escape to the romance and beauty of the wine country… Transport your guests to a setting that will stir their senses as they are immersed in the fine art and lifestyle of California winemaking.
Experience the warmth and generosity that make the Napa Valley famous… As one of only a few wineries in the Napa Valley able to host your wedding reception, Merryvale invites you to celebrate with us.
Just 65 miles north of San Francisco, Merryvale Vineyards makes its home in the first winery built in the Napa Valley following the repeal of Prohibition. The heart of this historic property is the Cask Room – often cited as the Napa Valley’s most enchanting setting for special events. Two stories of century-old 2,000-gallon casks line the stone walls; aromas of winemaking and wine aging permeate the cellar creating an unforgettably romantic atmosphere for your celebration.
Your special occasion begins in Merryvale's tasting cellar with a reception featuring Merryvale's award-winning wines and perfectly paired hors d'oeuvres. Guests are invited to enjoy the atmosphere while waiting for the bride and groom. When the time is right, everyone gathers at the iron gates backed by red curtains as candles are lit, lights are lowered, and the music begins. The drapes are drawn to reveal a stunningly set table, complete with wrought-iron candelabras, flickering votive candles, beautiful linens and sparkling Riedel glassware.
Magical for wedding receptions, rehearsal dinners, anniversaries and family occasions, the Cask Room at Merryvale offers you and your guests the ultimate wine country experience. With every detail carefully attended to by our experienced staff, and our highly acclaimed wines paired with the delectable cuisine of celebrated Napa Valley chefs, Merryvale brings an unparalleled level of creativity and enjoyment to your event.
Merryvale offers three levels of wine service for your event. The Classic Wine Service features current releases of our Starmont wines including Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. The Premium Wine Service includes our Signature and vineyard-designated wines such as Sauvignon Blanc from Juliana Vineyards, Carneros Chardonnay and Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Finally, the Prestige Wine Service showcases our Silhouette Chardonnay and our proprietary Bordeaux blend Profile. All service levels also include our Antigua Muscat de Frontignan with dessert.
During warm weather months, Merryvale offers guests the option of an outdoor reception on the veranda overlooking the winery property with its fountain centerpiece and the Mayacamas Mountain Range. With a warm breeze and the smell of jasmine, this alternative can be an inviting prelude to dinner in the Cask Room.
Located within the city limits of Saint Helena, Merryvale is close to amenities that can provide the finishing touches for all of your plans. World-renowned hotels, restaurants and spas make this a preferred destination that can be enjoyed by you and your guests. Merryvale’s close relationships with outstanding caterers, florists, photographers, and transportation services make planning your once-in-a-lifetime celebration a dream.
