Words cannot capture the overwhelming charm of Oak Farm Vineyards.  Nestled in Lodi’s famous wine country, the thirty acre historical estate offers an intimate vineyard surrounded by breathtaking landscape that is perfect for any special occasion.  Whether you’re planning a romantic wedding or quiet corporate dinner, a youngster’s birthday party, or a ladies picnic, this boutique winery is guaranteed to make the event memorable.

If you are considering an outdoor wedding, Oak Farm Vineyards is picture perfect.  A pebble-stone driveway leads to a comfy patio snug between an attractive wine tasting room and rustic white barn. These images leave a lasting first impression as you begin to explore the grounds.  The great lawn leading to a majestic oak tree is the ideal site to tie the knot.  With a view of the pond and weeping willows with surrounding vineyards, this picturesque scene will leave your guests speechless.  Just wandering the grounds, following pathways bordered by white fencing feels like you’re in a different time.  This completely restored estate is a reminder of a time that once was.

To prepare for the big day, a petite chalet is available for the bride and her girls.  Named after the original bride of Oak Farm, Cornelia’s Bridal Suite, is a convenient space for last minute touch ups or dressing.  It is situated next to the pond so serenity surrounds even if there are anxious nerves.  When ready, it is just a short walk to the ceremonial lawn and that beautiful oak tree. This California Central Valley hidden treasure is a photographer’s ideal canvas with photo ops everywhere.  Imagine capturing a kiss in the row boat along the lake, or posing next to the vintage truck, or within the lovely gardens – any bride would be pleased with the endless options.   Once your  guests are ready to celebrate the newly Mr. and Mrs., the patio is the perfect place to enjoy food and dancing, with that impressive white barn as a backdrop.  Children can play nearby on a lush grassy area, or even a championship game of croquet can be enjoyed.

With quiet strength, this oasis is sure to exceed your expectations, Oak Farm Vineyards manages to be sophisticated yet rustic, allowing you and your guests to indulge in an unforgettable day.  And as a side note, the Venue Vixens enjoyed lovely selection of wines in the handsome tasting room!
