The event space is nothing short of spectacular—an expansive mesa elevated above the vineyards, providing sweeping views that create a truly breathtaking backdrop for any celebration. The natural beauty of the location combined with its versatile layout makes it an ideal choice for couples looking for a memorable setting for their special day. The staff at Opolo Vineyards were equally impressive, with the manager, Gracie Rey, being particularly outstanding.

I can't say enough good things about The Backyard on Thirteenth! We held our wedding reception there in April 2021, and it was an absolutely perfect experience. From the very beginning, owners Rus and Amy went above and beyond to help us prepare. Planning a wedding is always stressful, but we were doing so during COVID, which added a whole extra layer of complexity. We also lived about 4 hours away and hadn't even seen the space in person before booking. Rus and Amy's communication, flexibility, and genuine care made us feel completely confident in our decision. The venue itself was everything we wanted and more. It had a private, laid-back atmosphere that was exactly the vibe we were going for. It wasn't just a beautiful space; it also offered fantastic beer and wine! Since our wedding, we've returned to The Backyard on Thirteenth for other events, and it truly feels like a home away from home. It's a special place, and we're so grateful to Rus and Amy for making our wedding reception so unforgettable. I highly recommend The Backyard on Thirteenth to anyone looking for a unique and wonderful venue.
