Splendor at Sunstone Winery | Tran and Dinh's Wine Country Wedding

Sunstone Winery’s owners invested heavily in an authentic French aesthetic experience when you visit their location. After studying the architecture (and wine) so prominent in Provence, France, they literally brought home a piece of France to Santa Barbara’s own wine country (literally – as in: had building pieces shipped over) . As is true with the life in Provence, everything is about the outdoors: good, abundant fresh food, delicious farmer’s markets and evening soirées under the stars with special touches and good company. That is exactly how Tran and Dinh’s wine country wedding experience unfolded and we loved every sumptuous detail (check out the Farmer’s Market station below in our menu highlights), including the vintage French band – oo la la!
