We recently hosted my mom’s celebration of life at Empty Nest Winery, and I cannot say enough good things about the experience. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, inviting, and full of heart—exactly the kind of space we wanted to surround our family and friends as we honored her.
The staff went above and beyond in every way. The bartenders were attentive and kind, ensuring glasses were always full and guests were comfortable. The service throughout the entire event was seamless, which allowed us to focus on what mattered most—sharing memories and being together.
The catered food was absolutely delicious, and paired perfectly with the beautiful wines. Everything flowed effortlessly, and it’s clear this venue takes great pride in both their work and in creating meaningful experiences for the people who gather there.
We truly couldn’t have asked for a better setting to celebrate my mom’s life. Empty Nest Winery provided not just a venue, but a memory that will always hold a special place in our hearts. I would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a space filled with warmth, beauty, and genuine care.
