Is it common for vineyards NOT to serve their own wine at wedding receptions being held on their property?

Without calling out the vineyard, I just recently came back from a family member’s wedding in Temecula, CA.

I was really excited to try the vineyard’s wine. However when I got to the bar, the bartender informed me “we are not serving the vineyard’s wine.” I was really confused and asked why. All the bartender can say “I’m not sure, I just work for the company that hired me.” When I asked if this is a standard practice, the bartender said “pretty much, yeah.”

Is this common?
