Vineyard Wedding venue

Hello! My fiance and I are looking for venues to have our ceremony and reception.  I always thought a vineyard would be a great place but after looking at a few in the NoVA area I noticed most won't let you start the ceremony until after the winery closes. A girl I knew got married at one and said the same thing and that it cut down on her reception/dancing time and they had to do pictures before the ceremony.  Has anyone planned a wedding at a local winery? Can you please tell me where and your experience with them? Thanks in advance.

Re: Vineyard Wedding venue

  • It's not in NoVA, but we got married at King Family Vineyard in Crozet.  We couldn't have our ceremony until 5:30 (when the vineyard closed), and the reception music had to be shut off by 11:00.  It worked out just fine.    

    There are a lot of vineyards in and around Charlottesville.  We had a great experience with KFV and I would recommend it to anyone.

  • Check out www.hermitagehillfarm.com
    While it is not a vineyard, it is an upscale horse farm with that "winery" like setting.
    it is outside of Charlottesville.
  • I'm getting married at Keswick Vineyards outside of Charlottesville. We had the same concerns about vineyard weddings and the tasting room issues. When you get married at Keswick, it's a separate area from the tasting room so you have the whole space for 12 hours. It's absolutely breathtaking also. Downside: it's pricey. If you want wedding season on a Saturday its $7500. You just need to have music off by 11:00. No biggie.
  • Try Breaux or Hillsborough Vineyards in VA (near Harpers Ferry, WV)Breathtaking views and lots to do nearby- sightseeing, and a casino.
  • Morais Vineyard.  I just attended a friend's wedding there:

  • I highly recommend Pippin Hill in Charlottesville - it's gorgeous! Or, King Family Vineyard. If you're looking for a planner, I used Colleen at Colleen Miller Events and she was great!!!!
  • Potomac Point in Stafford will let you do it any time you want... I don't know what your budget is, but check the food and beverage minimum before you fall in love. It's in North Stafford.
