I got married in August at a friends house in San Martin, but I needed a place for my bridesmaids and I to get ready in the morning. When my (now husband) and I met with Esther for the first time for a tour we thought she had worked there for years, but she had just graduated college. She is wise beyond her years and I loved working with her. Her job knowledge was through the roof. She really had all the answers, she loves her job and it shows. Esther made us both feel so special. We used Fortino's space to get ready and take pre-wedding pictures and say our vows to each other. My girls and I were welcomed with a mimosas bar in the room upstairs and had a great time. Esther really made sure we were all set with everything we needed for the morning. Highly recommend using them for any events you may have in the future.

If Fortino Winery is on your list of venues for your wedding choose Fortino!
Esther is AMAZING! She made sure my wedding ran smoothly from the very early days of planning to the very end of my wedding day.
The food was great and the wine was amazing! The vineyards make an incredible backdrop for your pre ceremony and sunset pictures!
I cannot thank Esther and the staff enough for how amazing my wedding was!

We trusted Esther and Fortino with our wedding and absolutely loved it. The venue is beautiful and affordable. Esther is communicative and so helpful. Highly recommend their preferred vendors as well. Best night of our lives!

The service was bad and the older two ladies looks like not welcome Asian customer. A Cooktail drink with to sweet. The table we had wasn't clean.

We found Fortino Winery after an extensive search for venues in the Bay Area. I wanted to get married in the redwoods but due to a family member’s health condition, elevation became a challenge which limited the venues significantly. We decided to check Fortino Winery out since they mentioned on their website that their ceremony area had redwoods. We met with Becca in September of 2021 and she gave us a tour of the facility and a basic rundown on how things would work if we booked them. We were impressed not only by the size of the event center but also how beautiful it was. We also loved that the caterer was in house, which really saved us stress in trying to find a caterer. Another huge aspect of why we went with Fortino Winery was that a day-of event coordinator is included in the cost of the venue! For an extra fee, they even decorated the entire venue for us, which allowed us to save money on a wedding planner and still have our bridal party have a relaxing morning with out errands and chores to do the day of. We were a little concerned when we were notified that the event coordinator we had been working with, Becca, relocated to Southern California. The new event coordinator, Esther, did a great job picking up where Becca left off. She was in contact with us regularly, and was diligent answering my incessant emails. She went out of her way to accommodate our requests like finding coupe glasses for our champagne toast. She was very transparent about the amount of alcohol we would need and cautioned us against ordering an additional keg, which was great advice! The morning of the wedding, Esther was constantly checking in on the bridal party, making sure we had everything we needed. The decorations came out incredible with only a few small signs not making it out, which was no big deal. Additionally, the staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating. Esther even served my husband and I dinner personally, so we would not have to wait in the buffet line. They even did all the clean up! We can not recommend Fortino Winery enough! If you want a stress-free wedding (as much as possible) and have a beautiful venue, you can’t go wrong with Fortino!
