If you’ve ever dreamed of a forest wedding, Winery Road Forest is about as magical as it gets. This secluded spot, surrounded by towering trees and dappled sunlight, feels like your own private woodland retreat. The forest clearing serves as a natural cathedral, with wooden benches and rustic décor that complement the natural environment. They also offer an elegant indoor ceremony space that’s perfect for when the weather doesn’t play along or if you prefer a more traditional setup. The indoor venue features large windows that keep you connected to the surrounding greenery. We also like that this wedding venue offers a quaint honeymoon cabin, called The Simon, that’s a secret hideaway surrounded by greenery.
