"Elliston Vineyards is the most beautiful and romantic venue. Most of all, the customer service is outstanding! Our coordinator Madeline was so wonderful to work with and made all our dreams come true. The food was amazing, every detail we wanted was done and everything was just so organized. I was not stressed at all, and all of our guests really enjoyed the venue as well! Thank you again, Madeline and team!" - Elizabeth & Tommy - June 29, 2019
