Markovina Vinyard Estate provided the perfect setting for our dream wedding. The beautifully maintained grounds, with their lush greenery and uniquely designed sections, were ideal for stunning photos. Our guests loved the outdoor bar and leisurely strolls through the gardens. Our indoor ceremony, held in front of the fireplace with twinkling fairy lights overhead, was truly magical. The staff were exceptional. We extend our sincere thanks to Rina, Mark, Kat, and Max, whose dedication and attention to detail ensured a seamless wedding day. Their genuine care and enthusiasm made us feel truly special. We are incredibly grateful to all the staff for their warm hospitality and for making us feel so welcome. The food was absolutely delicious. Our guests continue to rave about the meals, and we appreciate the variety of dishes that catered to all tastes. The effort made to accommodate our guests with food allergies were greatly appreciated. We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect venue to celebrate our special day. We cherish the memories of our wedding at Markovina and wish we could relive it all again." - Elizabeth & Telge - November 2024
