Rough and Ready Vineyards

Rough & Ready Vineyards is a 16-acre outdoor wedding and event estate set in the Sierra Nevada Foothills of Nevada County, Northern California. Surrounded by wine grape vines, heritage oak trees, an organic family garden, and a seasonal creek, the property offers a natural, rustic backdrop in the heart of California's Gold Country — just ten minutes from Grass Valley and an hour north of Sacramento. The venue hosts weddings and private events on an exclusive-use basis, welcoming up to 125 guests for ceremonies and receptions. Ceremony options include a white Italian marble gazebo, a grapevine arch set against the red barn, and a canopy of heritage oaks. The entire 16 acres is available for photos. An on-site guesthouse sleeps up to 16 guests, making the property a natural choice for destination wedding weekends. Rough & Ready Vineyards operates with a flexible vendor policy — couples may choose their own caterer and bring their own beverages. An on-site venue host is included with wedding packages to coordinate with vendors and manage day-of details. The venue also maintains a complimentary decoration lending barn, Something Borrowed Barn, stocked with centerpieces, signage, floral accents, and ceremony décor for booked couples to use at no additional cost.
