Nella Terra means “Into the Earth” in Italian. We believe producing great wine starts with being stewards of the Earth; learning and tending to the soil. Nella Terra is a multi-generational family owned and operated award-winning boutique winery. Today our estate program includes 8 varietals and a variety of microclimates. Join us on our outdoor tasting patio overlooking the vineyards and rolling hills of the Sunol Highlands.
“Our wedding at Nella Terra Cellars was a dream come true. From the moment we toured the property, we knew it was the one. The venue is absolutely stunning — with vineyards cascading down the hills, a breathtaking outdoor ceremony space, and a grand staircase that makes for the most incredible bridal entrance. During sunset, we took photos overlooking the rolling hills, and it felt like we were in another world — even though it’s only about 30 minutes from home! We first met Whitney during our tour, and she instantly made us feel welcomed and taken care of. She was punctual, kind, and so helpful throughout the entire planning process. Whitney stayed on top of everything — from reminder emails to quick responses — and truly made wedding planning feel smooth and stress-free. Booking Nella Terra also meant working with Simply Lovely Events and On The Vine Catering, which was an amazing bonus. Lindsay from Simply Lovely was phenomenal — she helped us through every detail and made our day so special. The catering team was just as great. Their tasting was delicious, and the food on our wedding day exceeded expectations. The bridal cottage and groom’s area were great for pre-wedding moments and photos. While you can’t get fully ready in the bridal cottage, it was the perfect spot for final touches before the ceremony. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful the venue was! The drive in is a bit winding, so we arranged for bus transportation — which worked out perfectly. There’s also plenty of parking for those who drive themselves. I can’t recommend Nella Terra Cellars enough. They know what they’re doing and do it exceptionally well. Every single detail came together seamlessly, and we’ll look back on our wedding day forever with full hearts and huge smiles.”
“Thank you Nella Terra Cellars for allowing me to host my parents 50th wedding anniversary last weekend! We all had a great time everything was well coordinated with the food vendor and the wines were great and we had a great time. Thanks to Gerry, Griffin and Elona for their communication and help. Definitely an amazing place to create beautiful memories With friends and families! Regards Tarasha”
“Our wedding at Nella Terra this past August was out of a dream!!! It was perfect in every way, Kendall, Whitney, Lindsay and the entire team at Nella Terra are the most amazing people to work with from the planning to meetings and the rehearsal they made sure that everything was perfect down to the small details. I can’t recommend having your wedding here enough. It truly is a gem of a venue and feels like a real life fairytale!!!”
“Had our wedding at Nella Terra Cellars on September 21st and it was the best choice we made when venue touring and was the perfect place for our wedding! We booked Nella Terra over a year in advance and worked with Kendall and Whitney. They were both amazing to work with and answered my many questions, gave me multiple quotes so I can see how many guests I can have to work with my budget and they even sent us a bottle of wine when we were getting closer to the date! The team was very very patient and worked with me with everything I was envisioning to happen. Wedding day was amazing, guests complimented the beauty of the hidden gem , the bar tending services, our wonderful onsite shuttle driver for family members who had trouble walking down the stairs and especially the welcoming champagne. It was truly a magical experience for everyone at the wedding. Everyone had the same comment of “when driving to the venue, it was confusing as if you’re in the middle of no where , but once you make that left turn going to the parking lot you are in awe and excited to go down the stairs”. As for the wedding party, the bridal cottage was a great area for the girls to hang out, take pictures and drink champagne. I loved how there was a secluded bathroom there too for the awkward dress holding time when needing to use the restroom - tons of space if you have a long train dress!. The groomsmen enjoyed the bocce ball court area as well and got to play. Walking around Nella Terra alone just makes you feel like you’re far away and in a magical place. Everything catches your eye from the vineyard , the stairs, the water fall, palm trees and even the beautiful white tent for reception. You feel and see the love and beauty the place holds because of its up-keeping and how the team there is beyond welcoming to everyone! I highly recommend this venue for anyone especially if you want amazing photo ops for you and your guests, but really for an amazing time. Nella Terra cellars is beyond perfect!”
“We fell in love with Nella Terra Cellars when we took a tour of the venue. From the beautiful landscaping to the reception tent, you can tell how much intention went into making this venue what it is today. Our wedding day was no exception to that as well. Bethany and the Nella Terra staff all were so kind and helpful in executing our vision on the day of and answering all of our questions and concerns prior to. I can't thank and recommend Nella Terra enough. We got married in October 2024, the weather was absolutely perfect and all of our friends and family still rave about the venue and our wedding day. Another thing that is so helpful, is their working relationship with the planners at Simply Lovely Events and the catering staff at On The Vine Catering. They already communicate and work out all their details together, you literally don't have to worry about a thing -- which was such a relief as a bride! P.S. Nella Terra's wine and sparkling wine is also so delicious! We love wine so that was a big factor in choosing our venue since we'd be having it at the cocktail hour/reception and our guests were equally as impressed as well.”
