About the Venue

With stone walls and wrought-iron gates adorning this magnificent venue, Testarossa Winery in Los Gatos offers old-world elegance and timeless charm. The historic winery offers a variety of options available for your nuptials, ensuring your day will be picture perfect.

As you pass through the front door, a stone tunnel with century-old limestone walls and a vaulted ceiling offers a cave-like feel and an intimate spot for a ceremony. Continue your celebration in The Castello Room, Testarossa’s tasting room, with wine and appetizers before moving into the larger Palazzio Room where an elegant and romantic night of dinner and dancing is sure to unfold.

A rich fall color palette of warm earthy tones and warm ambient lighting not only enhances Testarossa Winery, but creates an atmosphere of sophistication and romance. Light your world on fire - the twinkle created by hundreds of votive candles adds flattering amber glow throughout the space. Combine the romance of candle light with diffused amber up lights and a few chandeliers and you have a design that dreams are made of.

Incorporating deep hues of eggplant, apricot, and ecru is a beautiful compliment to Testarossa’s natural ambiance. Our hat's off to the florist (a friend of the couple) who has brilliantly captured this color combination in the bride’s bouquet and other floral elements. The crisp punctuation of the flowers with a splash of raspberry is perfect, and the calla lilies add a feeling of luxury and glamor.

In keeping with the the winery theme of the celebration, a gorgeous bottle of the couple's favorite Testarossa wine serves as an alternative guest book - this is a fun way to share your favorite vintage with friends and can be featured in your home as a constant reminder of your joyous big day (or used to celebrate an anniversary)!
