Nestled between the historic barn and the estate gardens, the Courtyard is where Sorella's magic is most felt. String lights trace the roofline above you, the scent of evening blooms drifts through the air, and the weathered barn wall becomes your backdrop.
Ideal for al fresco dinners, cocktail hours, and ceremonies for up to 170 guests. The Courtyard flows seamlessly to the Blanc Marquee for larger celebrations.
Soaring white canvas walls, soft natural light filtering through arched windows, and an open-sided terrace that brings the vineyard landscape inside — the Blanc Marquee is Sorella's grandest event space.
Fully weather-protected and elegantly finished, the Marquee seats up to 240 guests and offers a dance floor, full catering access, and a dedicated cocktail terrace at sunset.
The heart of the estate. Built in 1881 and still dressed each summer in cascading ivy, the original barn is more than a backdrop — it is the soul of Sorella. Weathered wood, steeply pitched rooflines, and a timeless presence that no new construction could replicate.
The barn's north-facing wall serves as the most sought-after ceremony altar on the estate — a living wall of green against the open sky, framed by seasonal florals.
The Estate from Above
A serene waterside setting bordered by willows and wildflowers. Ideal for panoramic receptions, outdoor ceremonies, and late-summer cocktail hours with reflections shimmering across the water.
A sun-dappled clearing beneath a canopy of heritage maple trees — a beloved cocktail hour location where guests can mingle freely while the estate prepares the reception within.
Rows of ancient pear trees in blossom, Niagara vineyard rows at golden hour — the estate offers over fifteen distinct photography settings for portraits, first looks, and candid moments.
Exclusively available to wedding parties, The Ranch House is a beautifully appointed retreat that sleeps up to twelve guests on-site — allowing the wedding party to arrive, prepare, and celebrate without ever leaving the estate.
The Ranch House features private getting-ready suites for the bridal party, a chef's kitchen, open-plan living and dining areas, and a wraparound deck overlooking the estate grounds.
Words and photographs only go so far. We invite you to walk the grounds, feel the morning light on the barn, and envision your day at Sorella 1881.
