Sandbanks Winery

Not every couple dreams about a ballroom filled with hundreds of people.

Sometimes the most romantic wedding is the one where everyone standing beside you truly knows your story.

Sandbanks Winery in Prince Edward County embraces exactly that kind of celebration.

The winery currently offers elopements and micro-weddings for up to approximately 45 guests, giving couples a private vineyard setting for a ceremony surrounded by the people closest to them.

There is space to get ready before the vows, flowers can become part of the ceremony setting, and the winery can help bring together some of the important details of the day.

Then everyone gathers among the vines.

The ceremony begins.

And because the guest list is small, there is a wonderful intimacy to the moment.

Every face is familiar.

Every person is there for a reason.

Afterwards, glasses can be raised with wine made right there at the estate, while couples wanting to continue the celebration can arrange a casual dinner for a smaller group of up to approximately 20 guests.

It is not trying to be an enormous wedding venue.

That is part of its charm.

For couples who want wine country, meaningful vows and just their favourite people around them, Sandbanks offers a beautifully simple way to get married in Prince Edward County.
