Morais Vineyards & Winery
Timeless Style
Paying homage to Portuguese wines and heritage, Morais Vineyards is a private winery with a breathtaking Portuguese-styled venue and spacious grounds overlooking a beautiful vineyard. The wedding venue, also known as the Palacio, sprawls across immaculate landscapes, vineyard rows, pergola beauty, trees and flowers, a romantic footbridge, stately covered veranda, wagon wheel monogrammed bench, horses and white fencing, an antique tractor, wrought iron gate — the photo opportunities really are endless here.
Morais Vineyards' inclusive wedding package offers full facility use of the ballroom, bar room, balcony, wedding suites, patio, terraces, courtyard, kitchen and grounds. Choose from three striking ceremony spots: a beautiful stained glass chapel, a pristine waterside pergola at the end of a stone pathway, and a golden ballroom on an elevated windowed perch flanked by chandeliers and royal detailed interior design.
A 4,000-square-foot grand ballroom provides magnificent reception space with hardwood floors, Palladian-style windows, a stage anchored by columns and decorated with Portuguese tiles, a dance floor, six champagne leaf grand chandeliers and two private outdoor terraces with stunning views of the pond and lush vineyards. Enjoy private hideaways for bridal party and groomsmen preparations in the Cottage Wedding Suite and Venue Wedding Suite. Natural sunlight, vanity seating, lounge furniture, a stunning fireplace and a terraced French garden make for spacious wedding day ease.
