I am getting married next May, and I am having my wedding at an Historic Mansion, and the reception at a winery. I was wondering what kind of food I should have at the reception? I was thinking maybe like a cocktail reception, but I am not sure what kind of food would go with that. Can anyone help me?

appetizer stations. ppl love this. the kind of food you can walk around and nibble on.
have a carving station w/ roast beef. serve in martini glasses w/ a mashed potato base.
a baked brie wheel w/ crackers and fruits
stuffed mushroom caps
coconut shrimp skewers w/ sweet apricot dipping sauce
chicken satay w/ wasabi soy dipping sauce
sushi station
bruschetta station
for dessert: a sundae bar where ppl can have custom ice cream treats made.
yummy
don't forget a coffee bar w/ hot cocoa for the kiddies.

Most wineries only allow wine to be served. However anyone who doesn't like wine is left in the cold.
You can do whatever you want. If you choose to have a cocktail reception, your food needs to be heavy so that it's substantial enough to soak up any alcohol. A good caterer will have heavy enough appetizers that your guests can easily make a full meal from them.

Just do cocktails with elegant finger foods of you choice...
good appetizers basically, anything from Italian to Asian foods are all good with cocktails...
At my wedding we had cheese, crackers, and champagne after the ceremony in a garden then we went and had dinner in a room...

Ask the winery for suggestions of foods that go with their wines. I think beef, cheese, crackers, and fruits go the best for me.

Cheese is the best thing that goes with wine...but you need to right cheese with the right wine
