Chateau Chantal
Not only does Chateau Chantal have gorgeous waterfront views, this winery also has a French-style three-room bed and breakfast along with vineyard estates. The chateau is ideal for smaller weddings as it can accommodate up to 44 guests. You can choose to host your ceremony from their indoor hospitality room, or a more scenic outdoor backdrop among the vineyards.
