Park Winters Reviews

Wow, I can’t think of a better place to get married! I first saw Park Winters via a wedding photographer friend’s photos of a wedding at this venue and I was floored. I immediately messaged to figured out where this stunning venue was! My now husband and I visited Park Winters for an anniversary weekend before we were even engaged, and we knew in our hearts this was our wedding venue. It was even the biggest atmospheric river storm in a century when we visited, and we still knew it was the place for us! Park Winters and their entire team is the best of the best, from John who was our initial liaison for booking our date at Park Winters, to Pieper who oversaw every detail of our wedding day with our planner, Hannah, to the catering staff, and friendly folks in the Inn, this team is dedicated to exceptionalism. The food in particular had our guests talking for weeks after our wedding! Everyone raved, seriously raved, about the fantastic appetizers, meals, and drinks served at our wedding. I know there was so much work in the background for our wedding, but we would have never known it! Everything was so seamless, and a well oiled machine. Park Winters took the stress out of wedding, making sure everything was executed exactly as we visioned. We would get married at Park Winters again and again and can’t wait to visit soon for another one of their exceptional farm experiences. Thank you John, Pieper, and the entire Park Winters team for executing the wedding of our dreams!

My daughter and son in law hired this vendor location after I saw reviews here on WW, and they had heard about this place after looking at another place where they almost signed a contract at. Thankfully they took a look and signed up 30 minutes later after their visit. They didn't get the date they wanted but a week later, but it was still such a beautiful wedding despite the rainy weather and the vnue did everything they could to make it memorable!

I visited a LOT of venues all around Sonoma, Napa, Yolo, and Marin counties. Park Winters was the clear winner for me, and I am so glad I trusted my gut! Because they include food in their pricing, it’s a little tricky to exactly comparing pricing with other venues, but by my calculations, Park Winters is such an amazing deal! The professionalism, the beauty, the ease throughout the entire wedding process…everything was a dream! Whenever I was booking other vendors and I said I was getting married at Park Winters, they all said “oh, they’re the best.” And I wholeheartedly agree! All my guests keep talking about what a beautiful venue it was. I am so happy my husband and I can go back and stay overnight whenever we want to relive the wedding magic. Lastly, I want to thank Pieper, John, and the catering staff in particular. We wanted a totally vegetarian wedding, and we also wanted lots of vegan/GF options. Though it was outside their normal menu, Park Winters worked with us to create the best food for us and our guests. I know wedding food often leaves something to be desired, but not at Park Winters! I cannot recommend them highly enough.

The beauty of this property can only be felt when you experience it yourself. All our wedding guests commented about how nice it was, which felt that way too! It's so beautiful, but has a relaxed elegance.

Beyond the beauty, the service that every single person provided really elevated the experience. Guests commented how everyone was top notch (servers, bar staff, everyone!) Everyone seems to really enjoy being there and it came across.

Lastly, the food was incredible and loved up to the hype! We got salmon and beef for the plated meal. Salmon continues to be the best salmon we've ever had. The super large portion of meat only made us wish we had steak knives.

I have had the pleasure of photographing here multiple times and this venue never disappoints! Everything is top notch - from the manicured grounds, the beautiful reception barn and outdoor patio, to the gorgeously renovated Victorian home. The staff is friendly, courteous and attentive and the food is delicious. Plus, there are so many picture perfect spots on the property!

We got married at Park Winters in July of 2021 and it feels like our new home away from home. We first visited the venue in October of 2019 and fell in love. Although we considered other venues in Winters and in the Napa Valley, we kept coming back to Park Winters. We knew it was the place where we wanted to get married. We loved the natural beauty and that our guests could continually discover new areas of the property during the flow of our wedding. The town of Winters and Park Winters are undiscovered gems that were bound to surprise our guests in every way possible. We visited the venue a number of times during our planning process and each time the staff was always so wonderful and accommodating. Our tasting, in particular, took place right before one of the COVID shutdowns in December of 2020 and they still made it happen. It ended up being a private tasting and the team was so devoted to making us feel safe. It was a wonderful experience and the food was out of this world. Every meal was a gourmet masterpiece - all locally and sustainably sourced. The wedding day itself was perfect. Although it was a hot 102 degrees, the magic of Park Winters took us over and we hardly noticed. We received so many comments from our guests about how much they loved the property and how they had just had the best wedding food of their lives (seriously the stone fruit salad is to die for). Special shoutout to John, Amber and Dart for helping us along the way. You have built an extraordinary team that values guest experience. We still can’t believe that Park Winters is where we got married. We know we will be back for a farm-to-table dinner/stay at the venue in the years to come! Park Winters will always hold a special place in our hearts.

We fell in love with Park Winters on our first visit and decided right then and there that we're going to get married here and its probably the best wedding decisions we made. We didn't use a planner/coordinator but John and Amber were nothing short of amazing during our planning process. Amber was the go-to person for any questions we had and she had all the answers/solutions for everything. We cannot thank her enough. On the day of our wedding, we and our guests were completely blown away with the exceptional service we received from the Park Winters Staff. Everything was executed so perfectly, from the ceremony all the way to the reception. Not to mention, the food! The portion sizes were huge and the food was delicious! I was worried people will not have enough to eat but there were plenty! We received a lot of feedback from our guests on how much they loved the venue, the food, and the service. If we could do our wedding day all over again, we would, without a doubt, do it at Park Winters!

Just had my wedding early May of 2022, after 3 postponements and everything was magical

We had our November 1st wedding at Park Winters and feel so incredibly lucky. Not only is the property absolutely breathtaking but the service is truly 5 stars. Each person that we worked with at Park Winters went the extra mile to ensure our wedding was perfect. Especially Amber, we so appreciate you. And the food!! Our guests were in awe at how delicious everything was. I can’t wait to go back for a farm dinner or pool party so we can relive the most magical day of our lives.

We just had our wedding ceremony and reception here in October 2019. This was the first venue we visited and we knew it was the right one from the start. The scenery was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the staff was accommodating. We worked with Amber Daly who answered all our questions promptly and made recommendations even without being asked. We did not have a wedding planner, but she made everything so easy. We had a small guest count and she really worked with us to get our money’s worth and create a beautiful wedding day. Thank you Park Winters!

Park Winters is hands down absolutely fabulous in every way. The venue is immaculate and the staff kind, professional and efficient. The event manager Amber is super helpful and always quick to reply to emails. She really knows her job inside and out! They are very accommodating and really make it all happen flawlessly. The whole experience was perfect from the moment we arrived the day before until we left the day after. My guests were wowed by how smoothly everything went, how delicious the food was, and by how gorgeous the setting. We are so happy to have found Park Winters, our day was perfection.

We went to check out Park Park winters and knew it was the spot for out wedding weekend the second we got there. Each step of the planning, tasting, rehearsal and wedding were flawless. The food was excellent. I don't eat dairy or meat and they were so helpful and accommodating. The appetizers were my favorite. So beautiful and tasty. The grounds and the house were amazing. We stayed 2 nights with our whole wedding party and it felt like a mini getaway with no stress. The best part however is the people. Everyone that works at and with Park Winters is so lovely, caring and helpful. If I could I would do it all over again. I would highly highly recommend Park Winters for any event.

All the staff, including bar tenders, owners, house host and servers were some of the nicest and most accommodating people I've ever met! The food was incredible and the property itself is spectacular. Many of our guests told us our wedding at Park Winters was the "best wedding we've been to". The house is beautiful and we highly recommend staying the night before and after the wedding whenever possible to really take advantage of all Park Winters has to offer.

Our experience with Park Winters was beyond wonderful. The entire staff was so kind and accommodating, and they made the entire planning process, and our wedding day, so easy. The property is beautiful and has many usable spaces for your wedding - an Inn to stay in, event barn, outdoor patio, and multiple beautiful outdoor ceremony locations. They can provide tables, seating, linens, silverware, and they do catering, so it is easy to knock out several wedding elements at once. The food there is also delicious! The property is a little out of the way and there is not a ton around it, nor are there a lot of super close hotels for guests (~20 min away), but if that's not a big deal to you, I would highly recommend Park Winters as a wedding venue. So many of our guests complimented us on the venue and asked how we had even found it given it's location! I can't wait to go back for a farm dinner and another stay at the inn

This venue was the best choice I made. The staff was very helpful with any questions I had leading up to the wedding and on the day of. I have been telling everyone that is going to have a wedding to check out this place. All of the grounds are very pretty. There are many options at this one location.

We got married at Park Winters on July 20, 2019 and our wedding was so amazing!!! The venue is so beautiful, we did not need much decor! Our guest are still raving about the hours d’oeuvres, dinner and even the staff! The food was delicious! The staff were a delight to work with! They communicated with me almost everyday up until the wedding! John & Amber were amazing! Eva the house host was so friendly she made us feel at ease! Thank you Park Winters & staff!!

Park Winters is an absolute dream come true. I can write pages about the beautiful setting in nature, the amazing attention to detail that's been given to the gardens and interior decor, the unique blend of traditional and modern elements - but one visit here will show you all of that in an instant. Rather, I will share what can't be readily seen but can only be experienced.

My husband and I wanted to have a rustic and elegant outdoor wedding and came across Park Winters during our search. It was the first and last venue we visited together. From the first foot we set on the grounds, we fell in love and knew it would be the perfect place for our wedding. D'artagnan showed us around the large property and answered every question we had without hesitation. The polite professionalism we received that very first day from him was a big reason why we chose Park Winters.

Once we settled on our date, we began to plan. We had both just graduated from professional school with debt and were working - we had 8 months to plan a wedding and no idea where to start. Helping with the planning process is one of the areas where Park Winters truly shines. Amber Daly is the event coordinator and from the beginning, she was there to help arrange the details for our wedding. Though she was responsible for discussing details related to the venue (i.e. meal type, linen color, bar options, etc), I found that she actually helped with many details related to outside vendors. She offered to print signs and menus, gave recommendations for decor, and offered advice regarding shuttle services. She was always polite, professional, efficient, and HIGHLY detail oriented when it came to answering the many questions we had. I never once felt that Amber was tired of our questions or not present during our conversations. What's unique and appreciated is that she always knew the answers to our questions immediately and did not have to check in with the owners for clarification. I feel this shows not only how competent she is at what she does, but that she does her work with passion. Furthermore, it highlights the excellence with which the owners - John and Rafael - manage their dream grounds. My husband and I had the chance to meet Rafael and we were blown away by his incredible dedication to the gardens, as well as his extreme hospitality and humbleness. After meeting Rafael and learning about the history of Park Winters, we were even more excited to hold our wedding there.

By the time the week of the wedding came, I felt so confident with the entire Park Winters staff. So many details had been reviewed multiple times that I had zero stress about things not going as planned. Park Winters is also extremely flexible and worked with us to incorporate certain non-traditional elements into our wedding without once making us feel like we were asking them to do additional work.

On our wedding day, my husband and I were very excited to share the magic of Park Winters with all our guests. During the wedding and afterwards, we received many compliments about the venue - its natural beauty, the courteous staff, the generous bartenders, and the incredible food. Yes, all the other reviews are right - the food is absolutely amazing! I have never been to a wedding that has had such carefully prepared and delicious food. Our guests are still talking about the salmon.

After having had such a wonderful, hiccup-less experience with everyone at Park Winters, we look forward to returning there for future farm dinners and weekend getaways. And to reliving the wedding of our dreams in our dreams.

Park Winters is a magical oasis. I knew from the pictures it would be amazing but was truly blown away seeing Park Winters in person. The Inn is historic and what they’ve built around it is new in the best ways but maintains the same charm. From the initial tour to the tasting, the final walk through, rehearsal and the big day, you are always treated like their VIP guest. Often times at weddings, food is an afterthought but Park Winters is a foodie’s dream! Overall, I couldn’t recommend it enough.

Pro tip! We rented a shuttle for guests at the end of the night ONLY as Ubers and Lyfts are limited in that area. Worked out great!

We held our wedding ceremony and reception at Park Winters late October 2018 and it was an absolute dream! Reserve your day early. A year out our Saturday was the last one available in October.

We had a number of guests tell us it was the best wedding they had been to, and they were pleasantly surprised by the delicious food with large portions and bartenders that weren't stingy with the alcohol. We were so happy with how our wedding turned out. After a year of planning, we were nervous it wouldn't be as magical as we hoped, but it was even better than we expected!

We worked with Amber Daly and she was always friendly and happy to answer our questions. Our day-of-coordinator was from With Grace and Love Events (on the Park Winters vendor list), Mary Hicks, who had her own wedding at Park Winters and ran many there, so everything came together perfectly!

I had my wedding at Park Winters a few weeks ago and it was the best decision we made! Park Winters is simply magical. From the moment we stepped foot on the property, we knew it was the place we wanted to celebrate our marriage with our loved ones. Not only is it absolutely stunning, but the staff is so welcoming, thoughtful and communicative. They were fantastic to work with and delivered exceptional service. The food is also definitely worth raving about! The farm fresh ingredients paired with the chef's stellar expertise made for an unforgettable meal. All of our guests loved the dinner and have been talking about it since the wedding! I could go on and on about how amazing Park Winters was for our wedding, but the bottom line is that there's no better choice!

We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Park Winters! I cannot give this venue and their amazing team enough credit. Everything was perfect! The scenery is incredibly picturesque no matter what time of year you get married there. We chose July which was indeed a scorcher in terms of heat but the versatility of the property allowed us to choose a ceremony location that would be shaded for the entire ceremony (in front of the sunken lavender garden). We stayed the night of our wedding there which I also can't recommend enough. We were able to stroll the grounds the next morning as a newly married couple which was a highlight. The entire team there is genuine, friendly, and such a pleasure to work with. We will definitely be back for future anniversaries (and honestly any other excuse we can come up with). The food is absolutely incredible! I could go on forever about all aspects and details of this place. Ultimately what you need to know though is that we truly loved Park Winters and are so happy to have gotten married there!

Booking our wedding at Park Winters was the best decision we ever made. The venue speaks for itself with it's beauty but there are truly no words for the team and food. Their events coordinator Amber is amazing and extremely knowledgeable, helpful and took the best care of us throughout the planning process and the day of and her staff was just as great as she was! Service was impeccable, food was divine and staying in the Inn was just topping on the cake; breakfast was delicious every morning and the staff was so helpful and went over the top to make sure our guests were well taken care of. I work in event sales myself and know how much work does or does not go into the production and execution and Park Winters doesn't miss a note. If I could have their sales and events team magically transferred to my property, I would!

Magical, Amazing, dreamy, Incredible... Just some of the words I could use to describe what having your wedding at Park Winters is like. This location is insane, it’s the most gorgeous place to enjoy with your family. Now the staff, I can not say enough great things about every single person who has any part at all with Park Winters. This is the most exceptional bunch you can ever ask for. The amount of compliments I received from everyone regarding the beauty of this location and the one of a kind staff was overwhelming. Hands down, the most incredible place. Thank you Park Winters!

My husband and I just had our wedding at Park Winters last weekend and it couldn't have been more PERFECT! We got amazing compliments from everyone about the venue, the service and food. We were able to stay the night there with our wedding party and the night before which made it feel like a mini destination wedding!!! I seriously cannot say enough good things about Park Winters but will try to list them all below.

1. The beauty of the venue speaks for itself. The place is impeccable and they spare no details. This made decorating for the wedding easy - I barely had to do anything!! White orchids, vases with candles and few other touches.
2. The service is outstanding. There was never a moment when I was looking for someone to answer a question. The staff anticipated every need and even offered things I wanted but didn't know I wanted until they had done it! Amber is sooooo helpful in every way in the planning process - could not have done this without her. John and Rafael clearly know what they are doing and you can tell they truly want people to enjoy their time there. The best part is that everyone is there for you and happy to help but not overly in your way or face. THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING in every way imaginable!
3. The food is excellent. Every guest raved about it and even though I was running around trying to talk to all the guests during dinner I ate EVERY bite of my salmon. I even overheard someone say "I thought wedding food was supposed to be mediocre? This is amazing."
4. The venue offers multiple locations for all the different parts of your wedding and lets you customize it how you want. They are so accommodating.

Thank you so so much John, Amber and the rest of the Park Winters crew. Our wedding could not have been so wonderful without you!

When we contacted John Martin, he was so gracious and expressed such excitement about working with Roger and I. We had the upmost confidence in knowing it would be a beautiful ceremony and an unforgettable experience for us.. We worked with Amber, the Event Coordinator, for Park Winters on all the ceremony details. She was great at accommodating our needs. We just wanted a small intimate ceremony, for less than 20 guests, to include our family, kids, grandkids and close friends. Amber had arranged for the ceremony to be set up in the front parlor of the Inn, in front of the big window which was perfect! The chairs and the unity sand table were set up before we arrived and it looked beautiful. Since we weren't having a large reception, we planned the date of our ceremony on the evening of the "Farm Table Dinner ", which was an amazing 7 course dinner. Our dining experience in The Barn was elegant, warm, and inviting. The staff was great in setting up our table. They made a beautiful centerpiece picked from their amazing gardens at Park Winters. It beautifully adorned our table. ". The service was outstanding. The food was delicious and cooked perfectly. We had one guest who is vegan and the chef prepared incredible dishes to accommodate her dietary needs. We were very impressed by this! Our guests loved every course. and their outstanding dining experience! Our family stayed overnight at the Inn. The rooms were cozy, warm and beautiful. John, Amber and Rafael have such an incredible attention to detail in fulfilling the needs of their guests. This venue is spectacular, meticulously groomed and breathtaking! Park Winters made it a "beautiful, magical" experience to be remembered and treasured for years to come.
