I recently had the pleasure of attending a celebration at this winery, and it was an unforgettable experience. The organizers went above and beyond to ensure that all of our preferences were taken into account.

★★★★★ — Vladimir, Jul 2024

I loved this place! It’s like a secret garden. I came here with a friend for a girl’s day and it was so cute. The sweets were delicious, and the service was excellent. It would be a great place for a bridal shower or baby shower type event.

★★★★★ — Emily, Aug 2025

This was my very first Tea Party. I didn’t know what to expect traveling from Kauai. The venue was spot on for celebrating my sister’s 60th Birthday. We were two dozen in attendance and the outdoor space was perfect. The grounds were colorful with gardens all around. The Ostrich Farm was a pleasant surprise.

Getting married at Elliston Vineyards

Elliston Vineyards comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
