My wife and I got married here, and it was absolutely perfect! The Venue, the Food, and Staff were all incredible! Now we like to just come hangout and have a glass of wine in the beautiful vineyard.

I had my wedding at Scribner Bend Vineyards November 2023. We had such an amazing time at our wedding! From the time we booked to the day of, we did not have to worry about a thing. Jessica and her team made sure that we were the guests of honor. We picked this venue because they provide so many services for the price you pay. They also have a lineup of preffered vendors, which makes it easy for you. They work hand in hand with a great caterer, Paesanos, so this was a no brainer for us. The wine is great! My favorite is actually the sparkling. The ceremony was held in their garden under market lighting. It was beautiful and romantic! The reception was in the tent. The night was a bit chilly, but they turned on their heaters and that was enough to keep a good temperature. I am so greatful to all the staff who worked our wedding that night. Everyone was extremely professional and nice. They made an unforgettable evening for us and for our guests. Thank you so much to the whole team!

My husband and I have been wine club members here since 2021 & our last visit for our pickup was made exceptionally great thanks to Sophia. She was very kind and help full with wines to taste & our pick up. She is a great employee to have there. Thanks Sophia.

This is a beautiful vineyard I can see why people have their weddings here. The service was good, the food was delicious. We ordered two pizzas, one all meat and the other with pear. Can't wait to go back and order again. The bottle of wine we had with our pizzas was good. I can't say anymore because I was enjoying the wine too much, didn't even think to take pictures of anything. I will be going back soon so I'll update this post.

Honestly, this venue exceeded my wedding dreams. Everyone was so helpful throughout mine and my husband's wedding journey. Jessica was always there to guide us, and Rain was amazing when we needed help with the catering. The food was phenomenal my guests raved about it! It's not often that you have high expectations when it comes to wedding food especially when it is Buffett, but I was very impressed. The onsite bridal cottage came handy when it came to pictures. It was so beautiful we had a fall wedding so the leaves changing to the fall colors were a great touch. I didn't have to do much with my flowers because the whole place is full of beautiful foliage!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HAVING YOUR WEDDING HERE. It was an DREAM. Thanks again guys for one of the best memories of my life! :)

My husband and I got married at Scribner Bend 2 weeks ago. Words can't express how much appreciation and gratitude we have for the entire staff to help make our special day truly amazing.From start to finish, it was so easy and stress free. Jessica helped us the entire time to ensure we were happy. She communicated very well, she answered all of our questions and was just pleasant to work with.On our day, it was amazing. We used the preferred vendor for our photography, videography, DJ and Photo Booth. It was so nice because they've worked together before. Everything operated so smoothly. No hiccups or anything. The food was fantastic! All of our guests RAVED about the food.Overall, Scribner was so amazing. It was everything we had ever hoped for. We cannot recommend them enough.

We had our wedding on 9/23/23 and it was wonderful! Jessica and the whole staff were very helpful and great communication throughout the whole planning process. All of our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the venue is and how good the food was! They provided a vendor list which made planning a whole lot easier! Definitely a 10/10 experience

Enjoyed the evening with a Hawaiian style BBQ, a luau with a great dance show with fire batons.

Nice small vineyard/ winery. The river gives you a nice breeze on hot summer days. Would be nice to have more cabanas available. Bathrooms are a long wait most times.

What a delightful offramp on our trip to Sacramento. The folks here are very warm and welcoming. It appears at all their wines are estate grown and they have a wide variety of whites and reds. They have a fun kitchen with wonderful pork, sliders, pizza, and a variety of other tasty lunch options. Very nice outdoor spaces and indoors as well. Great place to stop on the way to Sacramento or whenever you're in the area

It was a hot day. There are no tables set up inside where it was cool. There was plenty of room inside. Had to ask about moving tables inside. Shouldn't have to ask.

We got married at Scribner Bend on 6/10/2023, and wow, where do I start?The planning process was remarkable easy. Jessica got back to us as soon as we first reached out, and within a few days we toured the grounds with Laura, who was sweet and professional and made us feel welcome and comfortable. The pricing and payment timeline were totally transparent, and the rest of the planning process was laid out in an organized manner for us.Jessica, Laura, and Sarah gave us outstanding service in the months leading up to our big day. Jessica guided us through the whole process, from picking vendors to creating ceremony diagrams, and answered all of the questions that we had. We had a few last-minute changes, which got implemented perfectly.Jessica also coordinated with all of the vendors on the day of the wedding, so my husband and I were entirely free to spend time with our friends and family. Our wedding day was super relaxed and smooth, since Jessica and the SBV staff had taken care of so much beforehand, and took care of everything else on the day of (to include setting up and breaking down the tables with decorations/table numbers, arranging the right number of handicapped parking spots, accepting flower and cake deliveries, coordinating with out DJ/MC for the sound setup, prepping the bridal bungalow and groomsmen airstream trailer, being welcoming to and readily available for our guests, moving florals from the arch to the reception after the ceremony, etc etc). My bridesmaids and our hair and makeup artists all said that it was the most chill wedding they had ever been a part of, and that's because the staff at SBV did so much behind the scenes for us.The venue itself is jaw-dropping gorgeous. I'm from the east coast, so I love the "lush greens" look, and SBV accomplished that so well, with the rose-covered arches, tall walnut tree, and rows and rows of vines. The whole venue is covered in greenery and smells so lovely because of all of the roses and honeysuckle and jasmine. I love that the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception are all in different areas, so the guests get to see different scenery as the night goes on. My husband and I really wanted an outdoor wedding, and while the reception is within a tent (for protection from the elements), you are surrounded by greenery the entire night. While the weather on our day was unseasonably beautiful, there's also tons of shade for sunny/hot days. We got away with minimal florals and uplighting, since the venue is already so well lit and beautiful. Finally, because of the location, SBV felt incredibly peaceful and private. There was no chance of disruptions from the outside world. We felt like we were in a little pocket of heaven all night, and in the following few days I lost count of how many people said that it was "the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to".We purchased the package for unlimited wine and beer for our celebration. The wine was delicious and well received. We weren't thrilled about one of the beer options, but we were able to bring a beer of our choice to swap out for one of them. The venue cannot serve hard liquor, but all other beverages are fair game, and our beverages were served exactly as expected. There was never a line at the bar, and our guests drank as much as they wanted. We also opted for the sparkling almond wine toast, which was delicious and well loved.I posted a separate review for Paesanos on Yelp. Briefly, we received exceptional service and phenomenal food from Rain and the rest of the Paesanos staff. We were blown away by how delicious the food was, and how professional the service was. Check out my other review for more details.Everything considered, we are so, so thankful that Jessica and the other staff at SBV took such great care of us in the months leading up to our wedding day, and our family and friends on the day itself. Our day was absolutely perfect. I cannot recommend this venue highly enough.

My family and I had a great time celebrating Father's Day enjoying Scribner's fantastic wines. The service is tremendous and we felt like we were treated as valued guests. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a friendly winery with a beautiful outdoor space.
