3:45 pm - 4:30 pm
IMPORTANT / REQUIRED: All guests will be transported by shuttle from the Vinland Hotel to Zaca Mesa Winery. A room block has been reserved at the Vinland Hotel for guests’ convenience. Guests who are not staying at the Vinland should park at the free public lot in Solvang Village (1639 Copenhagen Drive) and meet at the front entrance of the Vinland Hotel by 3:50 PM to check in for the shuttle. The shuttle will depart promptly at 4:00 PM. For safety reasons, all guests are required to take the shuttle. Zaca Mesa Winery is approximately a 30-minute drive from the Vinland via winding back roads. Guest safety is a top priority for Chris and Eileen, and they want everyone to relax, celebrate, and enjoy the evening without needing to drive afterward.
4:30 pm - 10:00 pm
For Men: Appropriate attire includes button-up shirts (jackets optional), dress slacks or chinos, optional ties, dress shoes or loafers, lightweight blazers or sport coats, vests, and a leather belt to complement shoes. For Women: Recommended attire includes dresses (midi, maxi, or cocktail length), skirts or tailored pants paired with elegant blouses, dressy jumpsuits, heels, flats, or dressy sandals, wedges (ideal for vineyard terrain), dressy block heels, dressy rompers, and coordinated two-piece sets. A Gentle Note: Guests are kindly asked to avoid wearing jeans, sneakers, overly casual sandals, or athletic wear. Since Zaca Mesa Winery is located in the hills, evenings can become cool. Guests are encouraged to bring a light jacket or wrap to stay comfortable after sunset.
9:30 pm
Two shuttle departures from the wedding venue to the Vinland Hotel will be offered at the end of the night, at 9:30 PM and 10:00 PM. One of these shuttles will also be available earlier in the evening for guests who need to leave before the scheduled departure times. Guests are asked to indicate their preferred time when RSVPing to assist with planning. Each shuttle can accommodate up to 18 guests.
