To kick off the celebration couples can host a welcome party for their out-of-town guests. Meet in one of
Tri-Valley’s historic downtowns for dining alfresco, or gather the group for great food and a fun game of
bocce ball at Campo di Bocce. Not ready to call it a night? Dance the night away at Aura Night Club.
If brides want to plan a day just for the girls they can relax and enjoy a little pampering at any of Tri-
Valley’s spas including, the Purple Orchid Inn Resort & Spa, Spa Bella, Healing Hands, or The Pleasanton
Spa. After a morning at the spa the group will be refreshed and renewed for an afternoon of shopping.
Tri-Valley offers everything from historic downtowns with one-of-a-kind boutique shops, to a large
shopping mall featuring brand name apparel and merchandise. And while the bride is having a girls-day
out, the groom can gather with friends and family for a friendly game of golf at one of Tri-Valley’s
championship courses, including The Course at Wente Vineyards, Poppy Ridge Golf Course, The Bridges
Golf Club, or Callippe Preserve Golf Course. Once the round is over the whole group can rejoin for great
wine and good conversation in the tasting rooms of Livermore Valley Wine Country. Guests will enjoy an
authentic California wine tasting experience without the long drive, crowds, and expensive tasting room
fees.

For the main event popular event venues include Wente Vineyards Restaurant & Events Center and Palm
Event Center, who host weddings year-round with indoor and outdoor capabilities. Here’s what one bride
had to say about her experience at the Palm Event Center: “The setting, the food, the staff and the
ambiance created were top-notch.”

The valley’s newest destination venue is Casa Real at Ruby Hill Winery. With seating for 400 guests this
ideal location is being built in the foothills of wine country and will be surrounded by 54 acres of lush
vineyards. New venues are being built in the region every year, including Patrick David’s Event Center,
which will seat up to 400 guests, and Deer Ridge Winery Estate & Gathering Place, which will seat up to
150 guests. From intimate barrel rooms to large event centers, Tri-Valley offers it all.
