La Bodega at Marionette Winery

There is something especially lovely about celebrating inside a working winery.

The vines are not decoration.

The wine is not brought in simply for the occasion.

They are part of the place itself.

La Bodega at Marionette Winery sits among the vineyards of Salmon Arm, bringing wine-country scenery and a relaxed Shuswap feeling to weddings of up to approximately 100 guests. The venue currently welcomes ceremonies, receptions, rehearsal dinners and other wedding celebrations.

Inside, the space feels rustic and warm while still giving couples enough flexibility to make the wedding look like their own.

Outside, the vineyard is waiting.

Guests can gather with a glass of Marionette wine while the newlyweds wander away for photographs between the ceremony and dinner.

For a few minutes, everything becomes quiet.

Rows of vines around them.

Their wedding somewhere behind them.

Then everyone comes back together.

Dinner begins, bottles are opened and eventually the evening becomes music, conversation and dancing.

There is something wonderfully fitting about raising a glass at a wedding with wine created only steps from where everyone is celebrating.

For couples who want their day to feel intimate, welcoming and deeply connected to British Columbia wine country, La Bodega offers a beautiful place to gather.
