Being in the winter time, heaters were to be available. Should have been on standby and placed in the area should it get too cold, which was the case! Many of the attendees including myself, were cold! The heaters were not on standby, and everyone were uncomfortably cold throughout the ceremony. Some thing that the wedding coordinator should have taken care of. Other observations were that the food was not ready and attendees had to wait , some of the soft drinks such as Ginger ale ran out, and the bartender had to get someone to acquire more The bartender was great also! Many of our dishes were not clean at our table and had to be replaced. As I understand it, the colors that were promised in the flowers, and table arrangements, and the bouquets were not the colors of the wedding, and had to be remade at the last minute the morning of the wedding! Very stressful For the bride! I do not feel these details were unreasonable, and the wedding coordinator should have taken care of these details at minimum.

I recently attended an event as a guest and it was lovely…read more The bride entered from a staircase within but the wedding party was in the foyer as we entered the bldg. (We weren't late but close. I'm guessing otherwise it wouldn't have been crowded.) The beams and chandelier were beautiful! We were towards the back and viewing the wedding party was almost impossible. It would have been helpful if they were elevated a bit. We waited outside as they transformed the barn to reception ready. It wasn't fast but the weather was great and enjoyed a beautiful view and sunset. We left before the reception so I can't review the service.

Wedding was 5/18/25. First the location is beautiful and the amenities were clean and kept up…read more Service was the problem, as a guest when we asked someone about water we were informed they only did one pour, anything else we had to go to the bar to get. Also the person we asked could barley look up from her phone to answer us. They were serving alcohol but they could have had a water table so guests could at least serve themselves. You always have many older people at weddings and walking and waiting at a bar is not an option for them. I know they had to pivot on the service because of rain but we waited in line for drinks for 30 minutes, while they cut limes and lemons. I know they had to set up the bar but I feel like the garnishes for drinks should have already been cut ahead of time. When you have staff sitting in the front right by the bar and front door in chairs I would only assume that are meant for guests on their phones this does not say professional at all. I don't know what the family paid for the venue and I know they are busy attending to family and friends, so they might not notice, but as a guest it was hard not to notice. Once again the venue is beautiful, but the service did not match the beauty of the venue.

We completely fell in love with this place after stumbling upon it, and the environment is amazing…read more We've visited at least three times now, most recently bringing our family along to share the experience. The food is fantastic, and the wine is so perfect that we have genuinely been considering becoming wine club members. Unfortunately, our last visit really gave us pause. We encountered an employee who had a horrible attitude, and the way she spoke to customers was incredibly negative and off-putting. We would love to keep coming back--and we want to join the club--but this experience left us doubting if we will return. I am leaving this review in hopes that management addresses this so one employee's bad attitude doesn't ruin the otherwise stellar reputation and service of this wonderful winery.

We had our wedding at The Redwood Estate on 10/4/25. We stayed at The Lodge on site for the weekend…read morewhich was super convenient. We were able to have our wedding party stay for the weekend and had our rehearsal dinner at The Lodge. Our ceremony was on the lawn and reception was inside the red barn. The venue went under new ownership before our wedding day, and the new owner has made some very tasteful upgrades since we first toured which was a pleasant surprise! Caroline was wonderful to work with throughout the entire planning process. John the groundskeeper was also very helpful and friendly our entire stay. They made sure that our big day was perfect. My only minor complaint was that the barn was pretty hot during our reception. Overall I would highly recommend this venue!

Do not book!!!!! I made an effort to return your phone call this morning to discuss our wedding and…read moreaccommodations experience. Please review below: I contacted Caroline on August 29 at 10:58 to gain access to the lodging. She informed me of the entry gate code and told me to refer to the document details for the house code. The groundskeepers were still working at the rear of the house as well as at the venue. I was unable to access or utilize the garage space for storing event supplies, necessitating the transport of supplies into the house. The maintenance crew indicated that all of their supplies were present but could not be utilized. I sent Caroline photographs depicting the damage in the basement refrigerator and the old items that had been left behind. There was no toilet paper available in the restrooms. At 5 PM, I texted Caroline to inform her that the showers in the two restrooms were not functioning. Our guests were informed by your maintenance crew that the lodging had not been booked or used for some time. This situation caused an inconvenience that delayed our rehearsal by 30 minutes, as we had only 1.5 hours to rehearse and unpack the ceremony supplies. On August 30, as I was preparing food, I noticed that the kitchen sink was draining slowly and that the ceiling light above the sink was leaking because of the rain. Additionally, the garbage disposal was not functioning. As I was loading my car with supplies to leave the lodging, I found that the gate was stuck. I called Caroline to notify her of the issue. Ultimately, I had to climb over the gate to gain access at the entryway and walk back to my car in the rain. I was informed that you were upset about the grass before what was an extremely stressful day before the wedding ceremony. There was a lack of empathy in waiting until the event concluded or having a side discussion about it. During our conversation 30 days prior, I inquired whether we could bring the golf cart. I was assured that we could, and no guidance or policy was provided. Furthermore, I have never heard of a golf cart damaging grass. The venue's ceiling was leaking at what we refer to as the altar. Considering all of these factors, it is reasonable to conclude that you did not adequately check the lodging to ensure it met the standards necessary for guests to experience and enjoy quality family time. We were also advised that we could check in at midnight on August 29, while we had guests sleeping in their rentals and spread throughout the home. Caroline is a kind person who genuinely tries her best. However, I would not recommend Red Barn to anyone. Lodging should never be offered if it has not been properly prepared and thoroughly checked before guests arrive. Furthermore, I am requesting the complete reimbursement of my deposits for the venue and accommodation, as well as a reduction in the cost of this experience. Thank you

Looking forward to returning for their outdoor concerts in the Fall. We did the tour where we also poured a bottle to take home. Flavor of the month is watermelon.

I had reserved a tour for 3 (I highly recommend that you do the tour and if you choose to do a tour that you make reservations in advance as they sell out) and initially I did 2 with bottle fills and one tour. The tours come with a ticket for a drink so that was a nice little extra. As the tour started Ryan & Diego (our fabulous guides) gave us some history of how the company started and as well as the process of how the vodka is made. We got to mix our bottle (as we got the lemon) and fill our bottles. We also got to put the caps on the bottle and see how the line works. At the end of the tour, we also got to taste some vodka. After the tour we decided to go get our drinks and the staff inside were just as kind as the staff taking us on the tour. There are so many drink options that I wasn't sure what I wanted as they have so many flavored vodkas. I was told I could sample the vodkas which I was grateful for as it helped me make a decision. My cousin got the raspberry cobbler and the Bloody Mary - the raspberry was sweet but good and I don't like bloody Mary's but I'd drink this one! I got the blueberry lemon, the prickly pear and the front porch . . . All were good to me. When we were there they had some guys playing music inside which was a little loud but sitting on the porch, it was nice to hear. They also had a pizza food truck outside and my cousin said the pizza was really good. If I could make a suggestion to the establishment I would ask them to PLEASE sell flights! Please please please as there were so many drinks that I wanted to try but unless I was gonna sleep in the parking lot I knew I shouldn't but I guess it's also a reason to come back!

I attended my design meeting only to find out that our 2 design person was replaced. Information about our wedding we had to go all over it again because she needed to be caught up. We booked because this was an all inclusive service venue for less stress. Bit the lack of communication is the complete opposite. The venue itself is run down, look at the pictures. We've asked a handful of times when the building would get a power wash and it's been almost a year since we first viewed the venue and it's even worst looking. We watch other people's wedding videos at this venue and you can see it and in the photos. The bathrooms are outdated and all of the chairs have red marks on white cushions which looks horrible. Landscaping in the front need some TLC.

During the cocktail hour not enough plates or serving utensils to serve the food. You ate the food with your fingers-- no forks. The bread was cold and right out of a plastic bag!! Not fresh. The salad was ok. The food in the other hand was horrible!! It was three shrimps with Hollandaise sauce and a small piece of dried steak. To top it off the food was COLD not even warm. It was very unappetizing and did not eat. If your water glass was empty, they did not refill it. No water pitcher at the table. Unfortunately, I'm not used to that kind of service when going to a wedding. I went to the bathroom and guess what . . . No toilet paper in the women's bathroom.
