With the weather heating up, more and more couples are deciding to take their weddings to the great outdoors. Summer is an incredibly popular time for alfresco vow exchanges – particularly in areas that typically have a milder climate this time of year. Keeping this in mind, brides and grooms planning their nuptials for the sunny season begin scouring for idyllic outdoor venues as soon as they can – these lovely places tend to book up quickly. Luckily, there are plenty of options when it comes to open-air sites, from beaches to gardens to ranches – and, one of our personal favorites: sprawling vineyards.

In certain locations, vineyards are abundant. If you’re looking to host your event in Northern California, you can find a venue right in the middle of wine country. However, Sonoma and Napa Valley aren’t the only areas with available vineyards – there are many other spots around the country, some that might surprise you, wherein vineyards can be found. Many of these lush destinations are accompanied by an event center and a coordinator, so researching each potential location is pertinent.
