Testarossa Winery

Ideal Guest Count

• Testarossa Winery can accommodate groups of 40 – 90 people
• The outdoor patio is the perfect location for a ceremony of about 50 guests
• Use the Palazzio Room for dinner and dancing with up to 90 guests

Recommended Event Flow

• To keep things light and bright, host an outdoor ceremony at the courtyard patio which offers brightly colored flowers and is backed by a grove of towering trees
• Or host cocktails there instead, with a string quartet on the deck and guests mingling around the music makers
• The Palazzio Room is perfect for dinner and dancing when used with the neighboring Castello Room, the vineyard’s tasting room
• For a more sultry and unexpected ceremony site, consider the 19th century cave, with its vaulted ceilings and hundred-year old sandstone walls. Lighted by soft romantic chandeliers, this space glows with possibility

Entertainment and Photography

• The stage area is ideal for framing the bride and groom and the colorful border gardens create visual pops of seasonal flowers
• The assemblage of mature trees directly behind the stage creates shade for the bride and groom and the filtered light is great for photographs and creates movement in the ceremony design
• A dance floor is included in your rental fees and is set up in the extremely popular Palazzio Room

Let’s Talk

• Historic and picturesque, this winery is the perfect place for the couple who can’t decide between a sophisticated San Francisco soiree or a casual Wine Country celebration
• The sunny outdoor patio is filled with flowers and creates a wonderfully playful location for a ceremony or alfresco reception
• Trees border one side while a bank of ivy envelops a recessed wooden deck on the other. The deck creates a perfect stage for ceremonies and musicians

Color Palettes, Themes, and Design

• The history-rich dark stone masonry buildings of Testarossa Winery are ideal when spiced up and a splash of color is just the way to do it
• If you are feeling especially creative, try ditching the regimented color scheme and go for a chic vintage look by using a rainbow of flowers in orange, yellow, purple, and pink
• Keep linens light for your reception in the Castello Room and let your colorful flowers pop
• Mercury votive candles and a compilation of small vessels like silver-plated julep cups and vintage crystal vases filled with brightly colored peonies, tulips, and dahlias creates a vintage garden look
• Greenery also works great in softening up this space – olive trees around the edges bring the outdoors in
• A color palette blending raspberry, aubergine, and chocolate warmed by amber details and lighting create an intimate, inviting atmosphere
