Scenic Winery Wedding Venue in Trempealeau, Wisconsin

Elmaro Vineyard sits quietly in the hills of Trempealeau, surrounded by rows of vines, soft breezes, and wide open Wisconsin sky. It’s one of the La Crosse area’s most peaceful and naturally beautiful wedding venues — simple, elegant, and grounded in the landscape.

For couples who value stillness, nature, slow moments, and warm summer air, Elmaro is a meaningful place to say your vows. The ceremony lawn overlooks the vineyard, sunsets fall behind the bluffs, and the entire property feels like it was designed to help you breathe deeper.

As a local photographer, I love Elmaro for its light, its layout, and its energy. It’s a venue that invites presence — not rush.

Why Couples Love Elmaro Vineyard

Scenic Ceremony Site

The ceremony lawn faces the vines and the rolling Driftless hills. It’s peaceful, private, and photographically beautiful from every angle.

Locally Made Wine

Elmaro is known for its wines — crisp, warm, and truly handcrafted. Couples often incorporate tastings into cocktail hour or use wine pairings during the reception.

Organic, Minimalist Beauty

The space needs very little décor. The vineyard itself creates the aesthetic — natural green, clean lines, and golden light.

Perfect for Intimate to Mid-Size Gatherings

Most celebrations range from 30–125 guests, creating a private, connected atmosphere.

Close to La Crosse, Far From the Noise

You’re only 30 minutes from La Crosse, but you feel worlds away.

A Photographer’s Perspective

Elmaro is a dream venue for natural-light photography.

Open Field Light

The vineyard rows create directional, flattering light throughout the day — especially in late afternoon.

Golden Hour Magic

Sunset behind the bluffs casts warm, glowing light that feels like a painting. Portraits here look timeless.

Space to Slow Down

There’s room to wander and breathe. Portraits never feel rushed.

Photo + Video Options

If you want both photo and video coverage, we offer soft, grounded storytelling that fits the tone of the venue.

Real Wedding Vibes at Elmaro Vineyard

Kara and Joel chose Elmaro because it felt like them — simple, intentional, beautiful. Their ceremony overlooked the vines, guests wandered the grounds with glasses of wine, and the whole day felt unhurried.

Their portraits were glowing.
Their energy was calm.
Their wedding felt exactly like they hoped it would.
