Ceremony Spaces
Couples at The Hare Winery have several stunning options for their ceremony:
Vineyard Lawn: An iconic wine-country backdrop with rows of vines and open sky — perfect for romantic, unforgettable photos.
Shady Tree Spot: A quiet, intimate area under a mature tree, offering soft light and a serene, private atmosphere.
Stone Courtyard: Rustic European-inspired charm for couples who want a unique, storybook setting for their vows.
Cocktail Hour
Patio & Garden: Surrounded by vibrant flower pots and garden greenery, the patio offers a relaxed, inviting space for guests to mingle while enjoying the beauty of the grounds. The outdoor areas lend themselves perfectly to fun touches like lawn games or other activities to keep your guests entertained and engaged during cocktail hour
Reception Spaces
Courtyard Reception: Open-air stone courtyard, perfect for celebrations under the sky. The space naturally combines rustic elegance with romantic charm. Our chiffon runners on their beautiful harvest tables soften the look, creating a graceful, layered tablescape. Their Vineyard crossback chairs complete the effortless, winery-inspired aesthetic.
Barrel Room: I have an unpopular opinion — I absolutely love the Barrel Room for receptions (and yes, even though the courtyard is stunning!). It’s cozy, moody, and full of character, with warm wood tones and barrels that give it a romantic, intimate vibe. For brides who don’t want the weather to hijack their reception, this is the perfect spot. Our chiffon runners on thoughtfully styled tables add texture and elegance, creating a polished, inviting atmosphere.
Tasting Room: Elegant yet rustic, with high ceilings and natural light, accommodating up to ~130 guests. The tasting room flows seamlessly to the courtyard and patio, where harvest tables and crossback chairs provide a cohesive, timeless look. Chiffon runners help soften and unify the tables, adding subtle movement and visual interest.
Design & Decor Inspiration
The Hare Winery’s natural beauty makes it easy to create a wedding that feels both elegant and personal. Some ideas we love:
Frame vineyard views with our arbours with soft drapery, or floral accents to elevate natural beauty.
Choose colors that complement the venue’s warm tones — muted neutrals, soft greens, or seasonal blooms.
Layer textures with linens, wood, and greenery to create depth and warmth in indoor spaces.
Add personal touches like curated welcome tables, signage, or statement decor that feels thoughtful without overwhelming the space
