The most beautiful venue

My wedding day was absolutely perfect thanks to Backcountry Winery. All our guest continue to talk about how beautiful the place is and how amazing the peace sangria was! Was also very nice to not stress about wedding decorations since the beauty of the barn did most of the work!
