Rehearsal Dinners
Why Wait for the Wedding to Celebrate?
The rehearsal dinner is a wonderful way for friends and family to socialize — and share embarrassing stories about the bride and groom — before the big day. Your guests are greeted with a refreshing glass of our award-winning sauvignon blanc paired with hors d’oeuvres created by our talented local chef. Dinner is in our historic stone cellar — the perfect way to kick off your wedding celebration.
