I need to start with how kind and warm Melissa at Kunde is. From our first email exchange, Melissa had the kindest, sweetest energy of anyone I had been corresponding with - and at this point I had reached out to 35 vineyards/wineries ranging from Santa Barbara County up to Healdsburg. We flew from Philadelphia to Sonoma within 2 weeks of talking to Melissa and fell in love with the periphery immediately. We booked that day, which was exactly 365 days to our wedding.

Throughout the year, Kunde was flexible and easy to work with. There were clear answers to all of our questions and they were so easy to work with when we said we wanted to have our ceremony at one site and the reception at another site on the property. We were able to choose our reception site the week before we had the wedding - we wanted to wait out the weather to see if we should hold it outdoors in the Winemakers Plaza or inside in the brand new Barrel Building. Oct 7, 2023 was unusually warm, so we stayed outside and had the most beautiful, epic wedding we could have ever imagined! The wine, the 360 views, the lighting — all were perfect. Our guests are still talking about the setting and the wine. We are so happy we chose Kunde and highly recommend to anyone looking in the area!

Still on cloud 9 from getting married at Kunde just a few weeks ago! Chantal was so amazing to work with and we are grateful for the most magical weekend of our lives! There couldn’t have been a more beautiful and magnificent spot to marry my best friend! The sunset and moon rising views on Boot Hill were absolutely spectacular!! I want to relive the weekend over and over again! We will 100% be coming back for anniversaries!!! Thanks for the best weekend of our lives!!

I can't say enough amazing things about Kunde winery. We planned our wedding from abroad, and only had one day to look at venues. We packed 8 sites into one day, but none of them rivaled how incredible the Boot Hill @ Kunde venue was. You take a a car up a hill, and there's a huge wow factor when you step onto the property - the 360 degree panoramic view at the top of the hill is something else, and completely takes your breath away. You can see all the surrounding vineyards, and where the ceremony is held is between two giant elegant trees, giving the venue a gorgeous rustic feel.
In addition to this, the wines are some of the best Californian wines I've ever had, especially the Red Dirt Red, Malbec, and Red Zin. There's also a stunning house where the bridal party gets ready right at the bottom of the hill, which is massive, and a beautiful area for photos!

To add, what made our day truly amazing was the Kunde team that was dedicated to our wedding. Planning a wedding is already stressful, but Melissa made our experience completely seamless in so many ways. She was totally flexible when we asked for things, responsive to all communications, proactive with recommendations, and extremely professional every step of the way. Everything was done quickly, efficiently, and to perfection - we had absolutely nothing to complain about.

Since our wedding in 2018, we have been back to Kunde for a wine tasting tour every time we've gone back to the US! We are biased, but this is the best winery we've ever been to :)
