Located in the rolling hills of Temecula, Marina Design Group has been working with the owners to enhance the overall feel and approach to the wedding ceremony area. Located among the vines of the vinyard, the wedding area will be enhanced with a true Tuscan feel by the addition of old world fountains and urns, a hillside olive orchard, and by framing the views to the restaurant and rolling hills of the surrounding countryside with oaks and other native plants. Red gravel on the surrounding service roads will give contrast to the grey greens of the native and Mediterranean plants. The wedding procession walk will be enhanced by wrought iron arbors supporting flowering vines and surrounded by drifts of lavender and rosemary. This dramatic approach to the ceremony area will enhance the experience of a vinyard wedding.
Working with the owners, Marina Design Group developed a destination that speaks to the traditions of the Paso Robles wine region as well as the Pear Valley label. The visitor experience begins at the estate entrance, guarded by towering valley oaks and a seasonal creek. The sublime, winding drive through acres of vineyard ends at a Tuscany-inspired rustic stone winery, tasting room, demonstration garden, and two picnic areas. Strolling the grounds around the winery, visitors will find a landscape steeped in Old World elegance. Bronze statues, a formal rose garden, a rock grotto enclosed by a grand staircase, and a fountain courtyard complete the scene. In the olive orchard, large wooden doors lead to a hilltop event space with sunset and vineyard views, setting the table for a great Pear Valley wine-tasting experience.
