Fortino Winery and Event Center — Attraction in California

We found Fortino Winery after an extensive search for venues in the Bay Area. I wanted to get married in the redwoods but due to a family member’s health condition, elevation became a challenge which limited the venues significantly. We decided to check Fortino Winery out since they mentioned on their website that their ceremony area had redwoods. We met with Becca in September of 2021 and she gave us a tour of the facility and a basic rundown on how things would work if we booked them. We were impressed not only by the size of the event center but also how beautiful it was. We also loved that the caterer was in house, which really saved us stress in trying to find a caterer. Another huge aspect of why we went with Fortino Winery was that a day-of event coordinator is included in the cost of the venue! For an extra fee, they even decorated the entire venue for us, which allowed us to save money on a wedding planner and still have our bridal party have a relaxing morning with out errands and chores to do the day of. We were a little concerned when we were notified that the event coordinator we had been working with, Becca, relocated to Southern California. The new event coordinator, Esther, did a great job picking up where Becca left off. She was in contact with us regularly, and was diligent answering my incessant emails. She went out of her way to accommodate our requests like finding coupe glasses for our champagne toast. She was very transparent about the amount of alcohol we would need and cautioned us against ordering an additional keg, which was great advice! The morning of the wedding, Esther was constantly checking in on the bridal party, making sure we had everything we needed. The decorations came out incredible with only a few small signs not making it out, which was no big deal. Additionally, the staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating. Esther even served my husband and I dinner personally, so we would not have to wait in the buffet line. They even did all the clean up! We can not recommend Fortino Winery enough! If you want a stress-free wedding (as much as possible) and have a beautiful venue, you can’t go wrong...

My daughter held her wedding on Sept. 3, 2022 at Fortino Winery. The entire experience with Fortino and their staff was excellent! The wedding coordinator Becca in particular was amazing… professional, responsive, creative and resourceful! She coordinated all the vendors for the day of, and organized and directed the bridal party for the wedding ceremony. The wedding went off without a hitch (except for the 100+ degree weather!:). The beauty of Fortino is that it offers a blank slate for events and weddings so you can do just about anything creative that you can think of. I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food and had many guests compliment the selection and how good it was. We used several of the winery’s preferred vendors and they did not disappoint. My daughter was going for a rustic but elegant wedding vibe and Fortino fit the bill perfectly! I can’t recommend Fortino enough if you are thinking of choosing this spot for your...

Had my wedding at Fortino's on 7/20/13. Best Day Ever! After looking over several wineries for a venue I didn't hesitate to book my date asap at Fortino's. This venue provided more for my $. It was a 6hr event time, provided ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all in same location. And best of all, it has a stage! So I was able to have a live band and DJ. All my husband and I had to do on the wedding day was Show Up. Debbi took care of everything as far as set up. She made sure everything ran smoothly and kept us on time for the "Day of Itinerary" She also provided champagne and apple cider for my wedding party in our spacious bridal suite. She is so professional, kind and Awesome! She takes pride in what she does to make sure you have a worry free wedding day! Book here and you won't be disappointed.
