French Vineyards

A Hidden Vineyard Setting for an Intimate Celebration

A Hidden Vineyard Setting

Tucked quietly away from the main road, French Vineyards offers a peaceful and private setting that feels like your own secret escape. Surrounded by grapevines on three sides and sheltered by a mature woodland on the fourth, this vineyard venue is designed for couples who want their wedding day to feel personal, romantic, and completely unrushed.

Two serene ponds frame the landscape, while a graceful weeping willow creates a naturally breathtaking ceremony backdrop. Every element of the property works together to create a sense of intimacy and quiet beauty — a place where your love story can truly take center stage.
