Freemark Abbey Winery
St. Helena, CA
Wedding Videography at Freemark Abbey Winery
Freemark Abbey Winery sits along Highway 29 between St. Helena and Calistoga, with roots tracing back to 1886 and an original winery building completed in 1898, making it one of the oldest working wineries in Napa Valley. The estate is also home to one of the larger wine libraries in the United States, a detail that speaks to how long this property has been making and aging wine on-site rather than simply hosting events around a newer facility. Wedding and private event spaces include the Barrel Room and Bosché Room, along with a Great Hall and Courtyard for larger gatherings.
The age of the property is what separates it on camera from newer Napa event venues built primarily for hospitality. Stone and heavy timber construction, barrels aging in place rather than staged as decor, and a courtyard shaped by more than a century of use give footage a weight that's hard to manufacture. The Barrel Room in particular offers a dense, textured backdrop for an intimate ceremony or toast, cool and dim in a way that contrasts sharply with Napa's bright valley exteriors.
St. Helena's stretch of Napa Valley runs warmer and sees less fog than towns closer to the bay, with harvest-season light in September and October carrying a particular gold cast across the surrounding vineyard rows. Film House Weddings films throughout Napa Valley and would be honored to film your wedding at Freemark Abbey Winery.

What is included in a wedding film package?

How long until we receive our wedding film?
Delivery timelines are discussed during the proposal stage and depend on the season and edit scope. Expedited delivery is available if you need your film sooner.

Our standard package is filmed by a two-person team. Additional shooters are available as an add-on.
