Let’s Uncork This!
Events
Q. I'm having an event at the winery, my sister is a chef and she said she would provide the food. Can we bring in our food?
A. We don't allow any outside food, but we use the Venezia Restaurant which is on our property, Chef Gianni Caruso brings an authentic Italian approach to our events, with 30 years of hands-on experience diverse Italian, English, and American kitchens.
We do allow cakes and specialty desserts to be brought in from certified outside vendors/ bakeries. Any outside specialty caterers must be licensed and insured and must be approved by The Boston Winery 2 weeks prior to your event date.
Q. Can I just rent your space without catering?
A. A minimum food and beverage revenue amount will be assigned to your booking and included in your contract. Minimums vary based on the day of the week, time of the day, time of the year, and date of the booking. Your sales manager will review revenue requirements with you.
Q. I booked an event at your venue, are kids allowed?
A. That's not a problem, but please be aware guests in question will be ID'd by Boston Winery staff. Underage drinking puts our entire production facility at risk of license violations and will not be tolerated at Boston Winer. It happens occasionally at weddings and events that guests will order drinks and attempt to pass them off to underage guests. If we see that happen we have no choice but to stop all alcohol service for the duration of the event.
Q. Do you have an onsite event planner?
A. At The Boston Winery we want to make your event planning as easy as possible. We do have an on site event planner that will walk you through the whole planning process. Whether it is a birthday party, wedding or corporate gathering our event planner will help you navigate through all of the planning details.
Q. Do you provide AV?
A. While we do have a smart TV that can be used for presentations and speakers throughout the winery for background music all other audio visual needs would require an outside vendor. We do have contacts on our preferred vendor list for AV needs.

A. We have event packages and catering menus to accommodate a variety of group sizes and events styles. Whether you are planning a wedding, birthday party, corporate event or cocktail reception our space can be transformed to fit your needs.
