Avensole Winery Weddings: A Tuscan-Inspired Temecula Wedding Venue

Nestled in the heart of Temecula wine country, Avensole Winery feels like a slice of Tuscany airdropped onto Southern California. The venue offers sprawling vineyards, hilltop views, and Mediterranean architecture that create endless opportunities for romantic wedding photography. Whether you’re envisioning an intimate vineyard ceremony or a grand reception in the winery’s elegant Grand Hall, Avensole Winery is a dream location for couples who want timeless wedding photos surrounded by natural beauty.

Getting Ready at Avensole Winery’s Bridal Suite

Paula’s wedding day began in Avensole Winery’s spacious bridal suite, filled with soft morning light and the warm energy of her bridesmaids in terracotta-colored gowns. Her mother and sister helped her into her wedding dress, and one of the most emotional moments was her first look with her father—a moment full of quiet tears and a lifetime of love.

Meanwhile, Austin and his groomsmen prepared for the day in navy blue suits. As a veteran himself, and with many family members who have served, Austin and Paula chose Veterans Day for their wedding date—a meaningful tribute woven throughout the celebration.

Private First Look Among the Vineyards

Before the ceremony, Paula and Austin shared a private first look among the vines. It was an intimate, quiet moment away from the crowd where they exchanged personal vows—one of my favorite parts of the day as a wedding photographer at Avensole Winery, capturing moments that are raw and full of connection.

Outdoor Avensole Winery Wedding Ceremony

Paula and Austin’s outdoor ceremony took place under the soft glow of the afternoon sun. With autumn vineyard colors stretching out behind them and beautiful floral arrangements by by Lovely Peonies Floral Design, their ceremony felt romantic and full of joy. As a wedding photographer who loves capturing natural light, Avensole’s ceremony space is one of my favorite in Temecula for vibrant, true-to-color photos.

Golden Hour Portraits at Avensole Winery

Avensole Winery truly comes to life during golden hour. As the sun sets behind the hills, the brand new husband and wife slipped away for newlywed portraits surrounded by rows of grapevines and panoramic views of Temecula Valley. The light was warm and soft—perfect for creating editorial-style wedding photos that feel timeless and romantic. Meanwhile, guests enjoyed a lively cocktail hour, sipping Avensole’s delicious wines and soaking up the vineyard views.

A Romantic Reception at Avensole Winery’s Grand Hall

The celebration continued in Avensole Winery’s Grand Hall, where high vaulted ceilings and Mediterranean-inspired architecture created an elegant backdrop for Paula and Austin’s reception. The decor combined classic romance with warm terracotta and navy tones, and candlelit tables set an intimate, inviting mood.

Paula and Austin shared their first dance and sweet dances with their parents before surprising their guests with an incredible Zaffa drumming performance—a joyful nod to Paula’s cultural heritage that brought so much energy and excitement to the night. The evening wrapped up with heartfelt toasts, a beautiful cake by Coast Catering, and a packed dance floor that kept the party going well into the night.
