"We hosted an event at Clos Du Val and it was truly the most amazing experience from start to finish. The team at Clos Du Val are INCREDIBLE, the entire staff is so friendly and you can tell they are really passionate about Clos Du Val (and they all feel like one big family!). Nikko helped bring our event vision to life, from coordinating the pizza truck to ensuring every glass was filled with wine throughout our event. If you are looking for an event space that truly cares, look no further!!!"
