The Villa Della Valle

The Villa Della Valle feels like a little piece of wine-country romance imagined with Tuscany in mind. Set in East Kelowna on a former winery property, it is being shaped around a simple, natural and elegant vision, giving couples a wedding setting where the landscape and architecture can carry much of the mood before the decorating even begins.

The venue is devoted to weddings and offers ceremony-only, reception-only and combined ceremony-and-reception options. Couples can choose among three ceremony locations, and the property is available for wedding photography throughout the day. Only one ceremony is scheduled on a wedding day, allowing the celebration to feel private rather than like one event being moved through behind another.

Packages include many of the practical pieces that can otherwise fill a wedding checklist. Wood folding chairs, round reception tables, glassware, dinnerware and cutlery are available depending on the package, along with a portable bar and selected wine-barrel decor. Venue staff assist with setup, service and cleanup, and a day-of coordinator is included in the main wedding options. For smaller celebrations, the venue also offers a weekday elopement option for up to 20 guests.

What makes the Villa especially romantic is the sense that a couple can settle into the property and let the day breathe. There is time for the anticipation before the ceremony, space for photographs without leaving the picturesque grounds and an evening that can unfold in the same place where the promises were made. It is wine-country elegance without needing to feel overly formal, made for couples who want their wedding to feel beautiful, warm and entirely theirs.
