Rava Wines

"We stopped in during what was apparently their soft opening. This is an incredible venue! I really wish I had taken some photos rather than just being 'ga-ga' over what a gorgeous space it is! The winery side is hosting tastings from Brophy Clark and the house label, Rava. The standout here was definitely Rava's sparkling wine - something that has been sorely missed in the Central Coast! Where this place really stood out was the promise of a top tier event venue. I couldn't believe how incredible the spaces were! I am really excited to see how they grow this space and think that they have brought a tremendous value to the North County!" - Matt, guest

"10 months before the wedding, we did a walk through of the venue and as we wandered the construction site, I saw their vision and wanted it to be my wedding venue! The week of the wedding we found out there was a possibility of rain on our wedding day. No sweat though because the entire venue was ours for the weekend. We had our rehearsal dinner in the courtyard which was on Cinco de Mayo (tacos & margaritas)! The next morning my bridesmaids and I got ready in Villa Giada. The house was perfect as the kitchen was stocked with the essentials we needed to enjoy a light breakfast and a few glasses of bubbly. Our flower girl was also our best man's daughter so we offered them one of the 3 bedrooms which was convenient when she needed to take a quick break for a nap. I met my groom for "first look" pictures in the olive grove which made for a great background for the pictures. Meanwhile, the guests and vendors had some music to listen to while waiting. My dad walked me down the stairs of Villa Giada and onto the lake lawn for the ceremony (chairs from RW). As our guests made their way to the courtyard for cocktail hour, it began to sprinkle. We made the decision to keep everything outside as the courtyard was protected by the two structures. We were able to keep our photo booth in the lobby of the ballroom where it was protected and still used by the guests. The bistro lights set the ambiance for a lovely outdoor reception (tables&chairs from RW). We were able to end the night a few steps from the reception in the villa. Talk about convenience! The next morning, we cleaned up and headed into town for brunch. I would highly recommend the venue for any couple looking for a romantic and classic setting as I have no regrets about making great memories at Rava Wines!" - Jasmine, bride
