The Demetria Wedding & Event Experience

Perched high above the Santa Ynez Valley, Demetria Estate offers a wedding and event experience inspired by the timeless traditions of European vineyard estates. Rooted in the Zahoudanis family’s Greek heritage and named for Demeter, the goddess of the harvest, the estate reflects a deep reverence for the land, wine, and the act of gathering.

Here, celebrations unfold naturally — where exceptional wine, thoughtful cuisine, and meaningful moments come together in a setting defined by breathtaking views and quiet beauty. Guests are invited to slow down, share long meals, raise a glass, and celebrate surrounded by vineyards, mountains, and the warmth of estate hospitality.

Wedding & Event Collections

Demetria’s wedding and event collections are structured around estate access, timing, and level of planning support, allowing couples and hosts to choose an experience that best reflects the scale and style of their celebration.

The Demetria Reserve

The Reserve experience offers a full private estate buyout, granting unrestricted access to the entire property throughout the day. Designed for larger celebrations and destination-style wedding weekends, this collection allows guests to fully experience the mountain, vineyard views, and spirit of the estate in complete privacy. Full-service planning and production guide every detail from concept through execution.

The Demetria Estate Edition

The Estate Edition begins in the late afternoon and includes access to select ceremony, cocktail, and reception spaces across the property. This collection offers a balanced approach between full estate immersion and thoughtfully curated event spaces, supported by partial planning and design guidance.

The Demetria Signature

The Signature experience is an evening-focused celebration inspired by the relaxed elegance of European alfresco gatherings. Beginning later in the day, this collection highlights some of the estate’s most iconic spaces and is designed for more intimate celebrations with boutique planning and event management support.

Micro Estate Celebrations

For couples seeking a smaller and more personal gathering, Demetria offers intimate micro celebrations and vow renewals within a designated estate setting. These sunset-driven events create a romantic atmosphere deeply connected to the surrounding vineyard landscape.

Estate Guideline

To preserve the experience of the mountain and ensure a seamless guest arrival, transportation is required for all events. Estate wine service is an integral part of the Demetria experience, with wine minimums that scale appropriately with guest count. Extended estate access may also be available depending on timing and season.
