Weddings and Events

Westport Winery Garden Resort is the perfect location for your wedding or other celebration of up to 120 guests in our designated wedding garden and event tent. The $2000 price offers use between 9am and 7pm. A $500 damage deposit is required at the time of the reservation and is non-refundable if the event is cancelled with less than 30 days' notice. Full payment is required 30 days before the event. The damage deposit will be returned within two weeks after determining if additional cleaning or repair is required with costs being determined by the facility.

Rehearsal and Set-up

A one-hour rehearsal is included during regular business hours with prior appointment. Event set-up may begin at 9am. Outdoor events may begin as early as 11am but no later than 4pm. Music and beverage service must end by 7pm. All people must leave the property by 8pm.

Food Service

The Sea Glass Grill is available for dinners of up to 50 guests. Events in the winery after regular business hours are charged $200 per hour in addition to catering and beverage prices. Events do not have exclusive use of the facility. In the Sea Glass Grill, all food and beverages must be prepared and served by winery staff.

The winery's patio tent rents for $200 per hour in addition to ordering food service. 

The Resort allows caterers or potlucks in the garden event tent but not the patio tent. The party hosts will provide their own food, soft drinks, servers, dishware and utensils.

Alcohol Service

Wine club members receive a 20% discount on wine purchases. Complimentary wine tastings are not available as part of any event package. Only Westport Winery and Ocean's Daughter Distillery products are allowed.

Westport Winery can provide beer from local breweries. Any event serving alcohol is required to have a winery bartender. This service is provided for $200. The bartender is allowed to accept gratuities. The bartender will check ID and stop service for anyone showing signs of intoxication. As the event area is part of the winery's licensed area, these rules are not negotiable.

Tables & Chairs

The resort rents 120 white folding chairs for $5 each, 25 round tables for $10 each, and 10 rectangular tables at $10 each. Guests are responsible for setting up prior to the event and stacking the chairs and tables after the event. The resort does not provide linens or laundry service.

Smoking & Sanitation

A designated smoking area is identified in the garden. No smoking or electronic cigarettes are allowed inside the buildings.

The resort will order a portable toilet facility for event guests and this expense will be added to the price.

Decorations & Cleaning

No decorative items may be attached to Resort structures and must not interfere with the Resort’s operation. The client is responsible for clean-up of property brought onto the Resort. The Resort’s Dumpsters are not available for disposal of event debris. Any cleaning time spent by the Resort’s staff or damages will be charged to the client’s credit card at a rate determined by the Resort.

Security & Insurance

Westport Winery Garden Resort is not responsible for the security of any private property or rented equipment. An additional-insured liability policy naming the Resort is required for parties using the outside event center.

There is parking for 50 vehicles in the secondary gravel parking area and space for an additional 30 vehicles in a designated lawn area. Event guests and vendors may not park in the winery’s front parking lot or along South Arbor Road.
