stunning venue & grounds 15 mentions

“They were incredibly friendly and kind enough to sell us a bottle and even invited us to relax and enjoy it in their beautiful, nature-filled setting.”

😌 stress-free planning 2 mentions

“From a photographer’s standpoint, it’s pure perfection — natural light everywhere, easy access, and staff who make the day feel stress-free for everyone involved.”

“The reason why I did not give 5 stars was because it was a little difficult to get in touch with the coordinator a month before the event.”

From the reviews

Scribner Bend is a charming winery/venue for weddings or other gatherings...or just a weekend lunch with friends. Good wine and food (the pizza was top-notch), friendly staff, easy drive from Sacramento, and plenty of free parking. PS - My favorite wine of the day was the "Black Hat" tempranillo.

★★★★★ — Rob, Aug 2024

We came here for my nephews wedding in September. Beautiful green garden for the ceremony as you walk in. A nice patio area for the cocktail hour with an indoor lounge area. Appetizers were okay. Shrimp with sausage and pesto crostini. There's a huge outdoor tent for the reception which fits about 160-200 people.

★★★★☆ — Rei, Oct 2025

Scribner Bend Vineyards was one of the last wedding venues that we toured in March of 2024, and the moment we walked the beautiful grounds and got a feel for the flow of how our wedding day would look, we knew it was the perfect venue for us. We were luckily enough to lock in a Saturday in October of 2025.

★★★★★ — Kirk, Nov 2025

Scribner Bend Vineyards is a beautiful venue in wine country of Clarksburg CA. The grounds are very nice and well kept. As any vineyard, how good the wine is depends on the person. With that said, I really enjoyed the wine here and think most will enjoy it as well. Great wedding venue too!

Getting married at Scribner Bend Vineyards

Scribner Bend Vineyards comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.

Corporate events & private parties at Scribner Bend Vineyards

Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Scribner Bend Vineyards — garden venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
