Tammiluodon Viinitila, a country winery on the shore at Parainen, Finland, hosts meetings, training days, parties and weddings for up to 120 seated guests in its main hall, plus 10 to 40 guests in a wine cottage by the water. Turku is about half an hour away by car.
Seminars and company events
The main building is described by the winery as a high quality space for meetings, training sessions, wedding parties, birthdays and similar occasions. For meetings and other events, audiovisual equipment is available, and wireless internet can be arranged when needed. The seating in theatre style holds considerably more people than the 120 places at tables.
The wine cottage, Viinitupa, suits meetings and parties of 10 to 40 people. It also has audiovisual equipment and an internet connection. Together, the two rooms let you choose between a plenary format in the hall and a smaller workshop or board meeting by the shore.
Weddings and receptions
The winery's rooms are used for weddings in both summer and winter. The main hall has the sea on one side and an apple orchard of about 2,000 trees on the other. The wine cottage hosts smaller wedding parties in summer, and a large tent canopy on the terrace adds space. A ceremony can also be held in the shore setting. The winery offers an information pack on its wedding services on request.
Rooms and capacities
The main hall has tables for 120 guests, and the covered terrace holds about 40 people, with a front terrace giving more room. The wine cottage takes 10 to 40 guests. The site mentions a banquet hall for 120 guests and the wine cottage for 50 on its home page, while the meetings page gives 10 to 40 for the cottage, so confirm the exact figure for your layout.
Catering
Meals are mainly prepared by the winery's own staff. You can use an outside caterer instead, in which case the room hire is agreed separately. Both rooms hold full serving licences, so drinks are served by the house according to the client's wishes, including the winery's grape wines and other drinks.
History and setting
Tammiluoto started as an orchard and began producing wine in 1996. It stands on Lemlax island in Parainen and welcomes thousands of visitors every year, both travelers and event guests.
