A Premier Wedding Destination in the Heart of Northern Colorado

A luxury, riverfront winery wedding venue in Loveland, Colorado, Sweet Heart Winery offers one of the most romantic and unforgettable wedding experiences in the United States. Couples exchange vows along the banks of the Big Thompson River, surrounded by flowing water, towering trees, and mountain foothills that create a naturally breathtaking ceremony backdrop.

The venue is anchored by a multi-million-dollar mortise-and-tenon timber-frame building—an architectural work of art that blends rustic elegance with refined craftsmanship. From golden-hour sunsets to sweeping mountain silhouettes, Sweet Heart Winery delivers timeless beauty and iconic wedding photography in every direction.

Nationally Acclaimed Wines & Drinks That Elevate the Celebration

Recognized as a Top 10 Winery in America by The Scout Guide, Sweet Heart Winery is known for its award-winning wines—thoughtfully selected in California and perfected in Colorado.

Wedding guests enjoy a beverage experience unlike any other, featuring:

Award-winning Sweet Heart wines crafted for elegance and celebration
Eight different award-winning hard ciders on tap
A cider program so compelling that even beer drinkers consistently fall in love

Guests don’t just attend a wedding—they experience one of the most celebrated winery destinations in the country.

A Destination Feel—Without the Destination Travel

Located at 5500 West Highway 34 in Loveland, Sweet Heart Winery is just 59 minutes from Denver International Airport, making it incredibly accessible for out-of-town guests. While only minutes from downtown Loveland, the property feels completely removed—immersed in nature with panoramic views and serene privacy.

Couples proudly tell their guests:

“Join us in Loveland, at one of America’s top wineries.”

Family-Owned. First-Class Experience.

Sweet Heart Winery is family-owned and operated, and that care shows in every detail. From the first tour to the final toast, couples consistently praise the winery’s warm, professional, and attentive team for delivering seamless, stress-free wedding experiences.

“This isn’t just a venue—it’s a team that treats every wedding like it’s the only one that matters.”
