Viansa Winery feels less like a traditional venue and more like a sun-drenched escape to a hillside village in Tuscany—except you’re right in the heart of Sonoma. With its terracotta roofs, ivy-covered stone walls, and sweeping views over the Carneros countryside, Viansa is a place where nature and architecture exist in perfect harmony. From the moment you arrive at the vine-lined drive, the setting immediately quiets the mind and opens the heart. It’s the kind of place where you can feel your love story deepening just by being there.
For a small wedding or elopement, Viansa offers something incredibly rare: the ability to feel utterly private while surrounded by expansive beauty. The estate sits perched above a 97-acre wetland preserve and its own rolling vineyards, so when you stand together to exchange vows, it’s just you, your partner, and a horizon that feels endless. There’s no visual noise—just the golden California light, the rustling of vines in the breeze, and the occasional bird gliding through the sky. The ambiance is peaceful, cinematic, and intimate without ever being too quiet or too grand.
Couples can choose from a number of unique spaces, each offering its own mood and magic. The Upper Terrace, with its panoramic views and tiled flooring, is perfect for golden-hour ceremonies or candlelit toasts under string lights. The Wine Cellar is cozy and atmospheric, ideal for a small reception surrounded by oak barrels and old-world charm. Then there’s the Courtyard, lush and enclosed, with Mediterranean landscaping, flickering lanterns, and a sense of privacy that feels like you’ve stepped into your own secret garden.
What makes Viansa especially memorable for an elopement is how effortlessly it blends romance, nature, and culture. You're not just saying vows in a beautiful place—you’re anchoring that moment in a sensory experience. The scent of rosemary and lavender from the surrounding gardens, the taste of estate-grown wines with notes of sun-ripened fruit and Sonoma soil, the soft clink of crystal glasses echoing through stone archways. Every detail works together to create a feeling of intimacy that doesn’t need a crowd to be powerful.
The staff at Viansa understand the emotional gravity of small weddings and are attentive in a way that feels both professional and personal. They don’t treat elopements as scaled-down events—they see them as sacred. From arranging bespoke wine pairings to curating floral designs that reflect the mood of your day, their team elevates every element with grace and warmth.
Viansa is perfect for couples who dream of a day that’s less about performing and more about presence—those who want to feel grounded and connected while surrounded by incredible beauty. It’s a place for lovers of wine, history, and artfully slow living. A place where you can hold hands, look out over the land, and feel not only the richness of the landscape but the richness of the moment you’ve chosen to share. Eloping here doesn’t feel like escaping—it feels like arriving.
