By September, the grapevines are heavy and ready for harvest. Across wine country, the calendar fills with weddings, harvest festivals, private celebrations, and winery events. These aren’t just the same events in a different location - the vineyards and the season itself shape every gathering. Here's a look at just a few events that define the harvest season, and the details that make them distinctly wine country.

Open Houses

New releases, seasonal pours, and a chance for guests to get to know your brand. Open houses are the perfect opportunity to welcome guests from near and far to celebrate the harvest. Casual by nature, our black resin chairs paired with our natural linens strike a balance of relaxed sophistication that keeps the focus on the winery

Tip: your surroundings are your biggest source of inspiration. We love the clean, monochrome result of this setup among the wine barrels.

Wine Festivals

Wine festivals bring bigger crowds and full days of pouring, which means rentals need to handle the scale without losing the wine country feel. Build booths with our cabanas and frame houses, or go completely custom with shade structures designed around your exact specifications. We’ve got the rest covered too; from crowd control stanchions to cocktail napkins, everything that keeps your festival running smoothly.

Tip: customize every aspect of your build - size, wood stain, draping fabric and configuration - to best fit your event.

Private Dining

Private events in wine country feel even more special with an intimate table nestled close to the vines, where nothing stands between your guests and the view. Natural wood furnishings echo the surrounding landscape, creating a setting that feels both warm and uncomplicated. Our Calistoga table and oak bistro chairs blend seamlessly into the vineyard, allowing the scenery to remain the focal point to any gathering.

Tip: vineyard ground isn’t always flat. Ask us about leveling and flooring options early to make sure your table sits steady.

Corporate Retreats

Trade the conference room for the lawn. Bold solid linens, gold Chiavari chairs, and market umbrellas set a colorful tone for a weekend of meetings, meals, and team-building. Harvest season turns the offsite into something that feels more like a vacation, not an obligation.

Tip: retreats run long, from breakfast ice breakers to dinners. Plan for furniture that’s easier to flip, like our stackable or foldable chairs or modular lounge pieces for a dynamic space without compromising your schedule.

Weddings

Weddings are where harvest season shows its full range. Couples fly in from everywhere, bringing their own styles to the countryside. One wants sleek and editorial, the next wants a garden lounge of linen sofas, greenery, and leather chairs. Though neither looks the same, both belong in wine country. Let the vineyard influence your design, or let it be the quiet frame around whatever style you bring.

Tip: book your rentals early. Harvest is wine country’s peak season, and popular pieces (like our farm tables and lounge sets) go fast.

Non-Profit Events

A golden hour toast is something every gala or auction should aim for. Glasses raised to a cause everyone believes in. Thoughtful attention to both atmosphere and function brings this moment together: from billowing drapes that move with the evening breeze to communal seating that encourages conversation, all complemented with glassware worthy of the occasion.

Tip: the beauty of fall often comes with a side of unpredictable weather; plan ahead with our heater options to keep the party going.
