How Ella's Vineyard Turns a Wedding Into a Full Weekend Getaway in Paso Robles

We've never believed a wedding should be squeezed into a few hours between hair and makeup and the last dance. That's why we built our weekend around you, not the other way around. When couples ask what makes a wedding at Ella's Vineyard different, this is usually where we start. It isn't just a ceremony site and a reception hall. It's a weekend in Paso Robles wine country where you actually get to be present for your own celebration.

A Full Weekend Wedding Experience in Paso Robles Wine Country

Most venues rent you a few hours and send you home to pack for your honeymoon the next morning. We do things differently. Your wedding includes two nights in our farmhouse, a 3,000-square-foot home that accommodates up to 14 guests, so the celebration doesn't end when the music stops. For smaller celebrations, our current micro wedding package is $5,000 for up to 40 guests.

Two Nights to Slow Down Before You Say I Do

There’s something different about waking up on the same property where your wedding day will unfold. Our farmhouse has a wraparound porch made for a slow morning coffee, looking out over 32 acres of rolling hills and rows of Italian vines. You get one night to settle in and breathe before the day arrives, and a second night to sit with your new spouse and relive it all with the people who matter most. No rushing from place to place. No packing up the same night. Just more time to settle in, celebrate, and enjoy the people who came to be with you.

Vows Under a Tree That Has Watched Generations Come and Go

Every wedding needs a moment that feels bigger than the two of you, and ours has always been the oak tree. Estimated at a few hundred years old, it stands at our ceremony site with the farmhouse and vineyard rolling out behind it. We host micro wedding ceremonies here for up to 40 guests, kept intentionally intimate so every seat feels close to you rather than lost in a crowd.

A Barn Reception Designed for Dinner, Dancing, and Time Together

Once the vows are said, the party moves to our rustic barn. It doubles as the dance floor, and it includes a photobooth, plus a projector and screen if you want to run a slideshow. There's an ADA accessible restroom inside and additional restrooms outside, along with plenty of lawn space if your crowd wants a round of yard games between courses.

Support That Keeps the Venue Running Smoothly

Anna Watterworth, our venue manager, brings more than ten years of experience in the wedding industry and is on site to make sure the property runs efficiently throughout your event. She's the person your vendors go to for power, water, access, and anything else the venue needs to deliver. Day of coordination is included, with our team helping support the flow of your wedding day.

We run an open vendor policy and allow outside catering, so you can bring in the team you already trust. For bar service, you’ll need a licensed bartender. Beer and wine may be served, along with two signature cocktails during the approved 4-hour service window. 

A Setting That Still Feels Like Someone's Backyard

Even with 360-degree hilltop views stretching over neighboring vineyards, guests consistently tell us the property feels intimate rather than commercial, more like a friend's backyard than a rented event space. That's on purpose. We're a family-owned and operated vineyard in the heart of Paso Robles wine country, and we host every wedding weekend with that same personal approach.

Conclusion

A wedding weekend at Ella’s Vineyard gives you two nights on the property, a ceremony under the oak tree, a barn onsite for celebrating, and the space to enjoy your Paso Robles Wine Country wedding without feeling rushed. If you’ve been picturing an intimate weekend wedding with vineyard views, farmhouse lodging, and a team that helps carry the day, this is what we built the property for.
