Camaraderie, dining and bar hopping at the venue of your choice around historic Sonoma Square. Sonoma Square is a popular world-class destination, a lovely place to stroll and explore. Depending on your restaurant choice, reservations may be required. Check out the Resources on the Travel page. If reservations are advised, it's best to get your reservation secured very early on. The wedding party will join in the fun immediately after the Rehearsal Dinner, a private event described above.

Our Ceremony will be held on the lawn at Viansa’s hilltop villa, commonly referred to as the “Summit of Sonoma” for its unmatched panoramic view of the entire Sonoma valley, olive tree-lined vineyards, and a 97-acre wetland preserve. Wear your best springtime florals, cowboy boots and hats – semi-formal attire and shoes for the lawn – or Viking attire (you'll understand when you get here!)

11:00 am - 2:00 pm
It’s a wine-country thing. Grab a picnic lunch from one of Sonoma’s renown delis, head to a winery and enjoy a true taste of the Sonoma life.
Named “One of the Fifteen Most Beautiful Wineries in Napa and Sonoma”, this is the location where Celina and Chad decided to tie the knot. Enjoy winetasting, hiking, horseback riding or viewing the art gallery. 11 am to 4 pm. Picnic lunch, wine tasting and goodbyes, for now. Wear typical wine tasting attire (unless you plan on hiking or horseback riding- then more athleisure/jeans). Wine and recyclable plastic tumblers are available for purchase to enjoy in the park. Please note, the winery's permit does not allow outside food in the Oak Knoll, Courtyard Patio or Gallery tasting spaces but picnicking is permitted in the park. If you'd like to reserve a formal tasting or horseback riding, please go to bartholomewestate.com/winery-experiences/ Doggie visitors are welcome! For all of their safety, dogs must remain on leash at all times. Winery guests may park in the designated winery parking lot. Look forward to seeing you there!
