Overview: America’s oldest continuously operated winery offers indoor and outdoor spaces to host both your ceremony and reception. The outdoor gazebo in Brotherhood Winery’s vineyard is perfect for your ceremony, set in front of a historic stone-arch wall. You and your guests can then enjoy cocktails on the outdoor cobblestone patio (which can be tented) during spring, summer, and fall months. For your reception, The Grand Monarque Hall — also called Grand Salon — is a 19th-century stone building with towering ceilings, handcrafted wooden floors, exposed wooden beams, and 10-foot round antique wrought-iron chandeliers that all come together in a historical setting with old-world charm and elegance. Maximum seating capacity in the Grand Salon is 220 guests. For smaller celebrations of 75 guests or fewer, choose the renovated tasting room — featuring stone walls, slate floors, chandeliers, and modern tables.
