Welcome to Domenico

Located in the heart of the Bay Area on the San Francisco Peninsula, we offer the beauty and ambiance of a working winery without the drive to Napa or Sonoma.

Our 7,500 square foot venue – complete with hundreds of French oak barrels, a 24-foot mahogany bar, and a 16-foot solid pine gathering table – is perfect for weddings of 100 to 500 guests. The room is adorned with candles, elegantly draped tables, romantic décor, intimate lighting and Domenico wine glasses waiting to be filled with our award-winning wines.

Your guests can enjoy a family style or plated dinner, buffet, or food stations from our exceptional in-house catering team. They can toast with premium beverages, listen to great music, mingle with friends and family, and congratulate the bride and groom. From the ceremony to the reception, guests will dine, sip, dance and celebrate your love.

We are dedicated to creating a memorable event for you and look forward to talking with you about your wedding day dreams!

Outside caterers are not permitted kitchen access and must meet with us one month prior to the event and provide a certificate of insurance naming Domenico Winery as additionally insured.
