Private Events & Weddings
Your Event. Our Estate.
The Free State doesn’t do ordinary events. Whether you’re planning an intimate celebration or a full-scale affair, our venues offer something genuinely unlike anything else in the region: a working vineyard, a bayou backdrop, and spaces that feel like a discovery rather than a rental.
The Sunday House and The Cellars accommodate private and semi-private groups of 20 to 75, with decks and patios spilling into the vineyard and overlooking the bayou beyond. From business gatherings to birthdays, showers to anniversaries, every event includes seating, service areas, and the option of a private bar stocked with Free State wines and cocktails. Your guests won’t just attend. They’ll talk about it for years.

The Private Pour
Some stories are better told in person. Our Private Tastings offer an intimate, staff-hosted journey through the full Free State Cellars collection; from Heirloom estate muscadines to Texas Select varietals to Southern Fruit wines paired with small bites and accompanied by the kind of insider history you won’t find on the regular menu.
Two hours. Six to twelve guests. $40 per person. Available Monday through Wednesday by reservation only. Come ready to learn, taste, and leave knowing exactly why this place is unlike anywhere else.
