Kingscoast Estate Winery

Some vineyard weddings are beautiful during the day.

Kingscoast seems designed for the moment daylight begins to disappear.

Set among the vines in Kingsville, the winery brings together contemporary elegance and the softness of Essex County wine country. Couples can hold their ceremony, cocktails and reception on the estate, allowing the entire day to remain surrounded by the vineyard.

The spaces have very different personalities.

The Grand Luxe ballroom gives larger celebrations a polished setting, while the Vines View Room feels closer to the landscape around it. Elsewhere, glass walls and patios bring vineyard light indoors and open toward views of the vines and pond.

But the loveliest part may happen between the ceremony and dinner.

The vows are finished.

Guests have glasses in their hands.

And the newlyweds can finally disappear among the vineyard for a few photographs together.

For the first time all day, nobody is waiting for them to walk somewhere or say something.

Then the sun begins to lower.

Everyone gathers again.

Wine made on the property is poured. Dinner becomes speeches, and eventually the room that looked so carefully prepared earlier becomes full of conversation and dancing.

For couples who want modern elegance without losing the romance of wine country, Kingscoast offers a beautiful meeting of both.
