About the Venue
What does the name Kalero come from?
The name Kalero is a heartfelt combination of letters taken from the owner and her daughter’s names.
Can you hold a ceremony indoors in inclement weather?
Yes, we have a contingency plan in place for holding the ceremony inside the venue. Options include our covered porch or inside stage.
Where can an outdoor ceremony take place?
We have an area close to the venue that has views in all directions. However, you are welcome to exchange vows wherever you wish on the property.
Do you have a preferred vendor list?
Yes, we have a curated, always evolving preferred vendor list. Only caterers from our preferred vendors list may be chosen. We will consider exceptions, but this stipulation must be agreed upon in writing before contract is signed.
What about that Stone House on property, is that available?
The home has not been lived in for over 30 years. We’ve stabilized the structure, but are currently on hold with any further renovations. Stay tuned for future updates.
Is Kalero Vineyard a winery?
We are a farm winery, and are open on Fridays, but will close the tasting room for events or weddings. This means our 131 acre property and venue is available exclusively to you and your wedding party.
Are you open all year?
Yes, our venue is climate-controlled allowing events year round.
