I learned about Hammersky Vineyard years before I ever met my Husband. While I was working at an elegant restaurant, one of my guests brought a bottle of their fine cab for me to uncork and taste. We talked about how they stayed in the farmhouse for the weekend and toured the Paso countryside. Later I stopped by the tasting room on a roadtrip. I was so enchanted by the natural beauty and old-world charm of the property, I decided then, I would either celebrate my 40th birthday or wedding there. Fast forward a decade...
I was engaged at 40 and had my wedding at Hammersky at 41.
We were married in the second weekend of November. All the leaves were a deep auburn and the vines hung heavy with dark purple fruit. It was the last weekend before their harvest and we got there just in time! The weather was gorgeous. Clean, clear skies shone brightly with daytime temps at the height of seventy-two degrees. When the sun set over the hill, around 4:15pm (fall time change), temps plummeted to low fifties. We rented six portable heaters (probably could have used three more) and had a large campfire with s'mores though and provided blankets and it all added to the charm.
Kim (the owner) and Stephan (my main contact) we tremendously kind and easy to work with. Each time I had a question about anything, Stephan was helpful, accommodating and sincerely joyful to speak to. When we arrived Thursday, the entire venue was clean and ready. They'd even placed gorgeous bouquets of red roses in several vases around the house and a bottle of that delicious cab plus a charcuterie board in the fridge! I mean... AMAZING service.
I truly felt like it was OUR home for the weekend. All of my family and friends were enamored with the venue and event. It is rustic but beautiful! We had ninety guests and opted to make a U-shaped table on the lawn with a wooden dance floor at the center so that we could have dinner and dancing in one place. I think it worked perfectly for guests and it really encouraged people to dance and hang late.
You definitely can't loose with this venue. Especially if you prep your guests by letting them know that the event takes place on grass and gravel and to wear comfortable shoes and to bring coats. My guests were decked out in fluffy furs and awesome turtle-neck sweater dresses. It was great.
Hammersky staff are honest and helpful and they LOVE what they do. You'll feel like family from the moment you arrive to whenever you depart! Highly recommend! It was everything I had hoped and dreamed and even more!

Aside from a breath-taking venue, the Hammersky staff was amazing to work with. During a difficult year of COVID and rescheduling the team was so understandable, responsive and accommodating to make sure our day was special no matter the circumstances. Not to mention, the personal touches in the farmhouse to make our stay even more enjoyable. The value of this venue, and the service from the staff beats any other!

HammerSky is such a magical place (especially during the fall) and their staff was so easy to work with. As a wedding planner myself it was very important to me to connect with and trust my vendor team and they did not disappoint!
