Welcome to the enchanting world of Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyard, a place where your dream wedding becomes a breathtaking reality. I'm Aaron Watson, your award-winning photographer guide on this journey of elegance and romance nestled in Virginia's wine country. Over the years, Pippin Hill has carved its niche as one of the most sought-after wedding venues in the country, and I have the distinct privilege of being closely connected to its story from the very beginning.

Visionaries Lynne Easton and Dean Andrews have poured their hearts into creating a space that's both luxurious and intimate, perfect for saying "I do." I had the honor of capturing the first "I do" at Pippin Hill, marking the beginning of a legacy of love stories that continue to unfold amidst its vineyards and vistas.

As Charlottesville's renowned wedding photographer, my aim is to capture the magic of your day against the breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountains and the lush landscapes of this exceptional vineyard.

Why Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyard Stands Out?

Nestled in the heart of Virginia's lush wine country, Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyard captures the essence of romance and elegance. It's not just a wedding venue; it's a panorama that paints the beginning of your forever. With its breathtaking landscapes, stunning vineyards, and the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains as your backdrop, Pippin Hill delivers a fairy-tale setting like no other.

Beautiful Views in Every Season

Regardless of the season, Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyard promises a magical setting for your wedding day.

  • Spring: Imagine your ceremony amidst blossoming flowers, offering a natural, romantic canvas for your celebration.
  • Summer: Despite the warmer summer temperatures, Pippin Hills offers vibrant greenery in the summer months, with a lush green landscape of vineyard rows.
  • Fall: The vineyard transforms with autumnal hues, offering a rich, colorful backdrop for your vows.
  • Winter: Even in the chillier months, Pippin Hill's indoor venues provide cozy, intimate settings with scenic views that make for a winter wonderland wedding.

Option for the Perfect Setting

Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyard boasts a variety of venues to match your celebration's scale and style, from the rustic elegance of the Granary to the intimate charm of the Wine Cellar. Each space tells a story, complemented by award-winning service, ensuring your day is nothing short of spectacular.

  • The Vineyard Lawn + Main Lawn: Offering a breathtaking vista of the lush vineyards and the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains, the lawns provide a stunning natural backdrop for a serene outdoor ceremony or a grand tented celebration. The expansive outdoors invite a sense of grandeur and freedom, perfect for a sunset ceremony or a starlit dance.
  • The Veranda: Capturing Pippin Hill’s rustic charm and elegance, the Veranda merges indoor comforts with an open-air feel. Overlooking the vineyards, this covered space ensures an intimate gathering can enjoy the beauty of the landscape in any weather, making it an ideal spot for cocktail hour or a smaller reception.
  • The Tasting Room: Reflecting the heart of Pippin Hill's wine culture, the Tasting Room is an embodiment of sophistication and warmth. With its elegant interiors and inviting atmosphere, it's perfect for wine-centric gatherings or a sophisticated cocktail reception, allowing guests to indulge in the estate's finest wines.
  • The Granary: As one of the premier indoor venues, the Granary offers rustic elegance at its finest. Flanked by sweeping views of vineyards and mountains through its large windows, the space is adorned with high ceilings and wood beams, presenting a versatile canvas for both grand receptions and intimate dinners. The Granary's blend of modern amenities within a charming, rustic setting ensures a memorable celebration for up to 200 guests.

Each of these venues within Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyard tells its own unique story, enhanced by award-winning service and a high-touch approach to hospitality. Whether you envision a grand, elegant affair or a more intimate, cozy gathering, Pippin Hill provides the perfect setting to bring your celebration to life. With the lush landscapes, exquisite cuisine from their garden-to-table offerings, and a dedicated team to cater to your needs, your event at Pippin Hill is set to be nothing short of spectacular.
