Nelson Family Vineyards

Nelson Family Vineyards is a family-owned working ranch and winery set on 2,000 acres in Mendocino County, near Hopland in Northern California's wine country. The Nelson family has farmed this land for over 70 years, passing agricultural traditions through four generations. The property spans sustainable vineyards, Bartlett pear orchards, olive gardens, a redwood grove, and a century-old barn — a richly varied landscape that forms the backdrop for weddings and private events alongside its working winery. Three distinct outdoor settings serve as event venues: The Barn, The Redwoods, and The Oaks, each framed by vineyard rows and the rolling hills of the Mayacamas Mountains. The venue hosts events seasonally from May through October, welcoming celebrations that range from intimate gatherings to larger affairs in a setting defined by four generations of family stewardship.
