February 26, 2026 (Los Olivos, CA) — Alexis Zahoudanis, owner and general manager of the biodynamically-farmed Demetria Estate, a leading family-owned winery located in Santa Barbara County’s Santa Ynez Valley, has announced the launch of European wedding collections in an exclusive partnership with Club Amore Weddings and La Dolce Vita Catering.
The European wedding collections offer full-service, turnkey wedding packages designed to make planning effortless for couples. By partnering with two of Southern California’s most creative planners Demetria Estate introduces a cohesive, estate-driven approach to weddings—shaped by hospitality, fine wine and a deep sense of place. This collaboration establishes Demetria as a premier destination for couples seeking seamless, unforgettable celebrations in one of California wine country’s most picturesque and relaxed venues.
Situated along the Foxen Canyon Wine Trail in Los Olivos, Demetria Estate is known for its natural beauty, refined elegance and refreshingly unpretentious charm. Spanning vineyards, gardens and terraces, the new European wedding collections are inspired by relaxed European estate gatherings—unhurried, immersive celebrations, set against the backdrop of Demetria’s Mediterranean-style winery. Each collection combines elevated cuisine, Demetria’s delicious wines, intentional design and comprehensive planning under one roof. The partnership is a natural extension of Demetria Estate’s refined approach to hospitality, shaped by Director of Hospitality Logan Livermore, whose leadership continues to guide the estate’s evolving wedding and private event experiences.
Owned and operated by Ashley Gheno and Jill Ross, Club Amore is a Santa Ynez Valley–based boutique planning and design studio celebrated for its artful, hospitality-driven approach to weddings and events. La Dolce Vita Catering, also led by Ashley Gheno, offers elevated, seasonally inspired cuisine rooted in European tradition, designed to perfectly complement the estate’s wine-country setting. Gheno is also the founder of Till Death Do Us Party, providing craft cocktails and fully customized bar service for each celebration.
“Demetria has always been a place where beauty and belonging coexist naturally,” said Alexis Zahoudanis. “Through this partnership, couples can host their dream day on our estate, enjoying elevated cuisine, exceptional wine and full-service planning, with every detail handled so they can focus on celebrating with family and friends.”
