The Vineyard has a proud, Portuguese roots and the design reflects that!
If you take a look around Morais Vineyards, there is no doubt that the venue’s architecture and landscaping style is immaculate. This is due to the owners, who immigrated to the US from Portugal many years ago! Having their venue show the beauty of their culture was very important to them, and the result is the stunning vineyard that we know today! Surprisingly, the venue was built over 12 years ago with the intent to be a place to host events. They do very well considering the venue hosts about 75 weddings each year.
