Wedding At The Sunstone Vineyard

On October 11, 1997, Deborah Eve Davidson and Stan Cvijanovich of Ventura, California were married. Their wedding dream-come-true was held in the exquisite setting of Sunstone Winery & Vineyards.

Sunstone, which resembles a villa in the French Provincial countryside, is located in the beautiful Santa Ynez Valley of California, in the wine region of Santa Barbara County. The perfect setting for an intimate "getaway" wedding for seventy guests.

They married in the late afternoon on the side courtyard of the winery.  As the sun set, hues of pinks and ambers were cast on the mountainside.  The sky was clear, it was a perfect autumn afternoon.

Following the ceremony, wines flowed as handmade thin crust gourmet pizzas were served hot out of Sunstone's wood fired oven.  The aroma of garlic, basil, and crushed grapes filled the air while a Classical Guitarist strummed Mediterranean style music to complete the mood.

Deb and Stan's wedding website is still online. Check it out to see incredible photos of their wedding day. Ann Heck, of the Santa Ynez Valley, served as their photographer and did an excellent job of capturing this special day for the bride and groom as well as the awesome ambiance of this unique vineyard setting.
