King Family Vineyards Weddings

Nestled in the lush foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, King Family Vineyards offers a stunning scenic setting that couples dream about for their wedding day. Recognized as one of the top wedding destinations in Virginia’s Blue Ridge region, this venue combines the serene beauty of nature with sophisticated, rustic charm.

As your preferredd Charlottesvile wedding photographer, I'm here to guide you through one of the most picturesque venues that Virginia has to offer for your special day. Let's embark on a visual journey that highlights the unmatched beauty and romantic ambiance of King Family Vineyards.

Why King Family Vineyards Stands Out for Your Wedding Day

Located amidst the rolling hills of Crozet, just west from Charlottesville, King Family Vineyards provides a serene and stunning setting for weddings. With panoramic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and sprawling vineyards, every corner of this venue promises a fairy tale backdrop for your celebration.

Seasonal Splendor at King Family Vineyards

King Family Vineyards is a year-round venue that captivates with its natural beauty and versatile landscapes. From the vibrant greenery of spring and the warm, golden hues of summer to the rich colors of fall and the serene whites of winter, the vineyards create a perfect scene for your wedding, regardless of the season.

• Spring and Summer: Embrace the vitality of the vineyard blooming in full glory. The expansive outdoor spaces offer sunset views that envelop your day in a golden-hour glow, ideal for both your ceremony and unforgettable photographs.
• Fall and Winter: Fall weddings are embraced by a tapestry of autumn colors, offering a cozy, enchanting atmosphere, while winter brings a tranquil elegance with the vineyard dusted in snow—a unique setting for intimate celebrations.

Elegant Spaces for Every Desire

Whether you dream of a grand celebration or an intimate gathering, King Family Vineyards caters to every vision:

• The Carriage House: Majestically designed, this space accommodates up to 200 guests. With its breathtaking mountain views and rustic charm, it's perfect for both lavish and understated weddings.
• The Lawn: Encircling the Carriage House, the lawn boasts breathtaking views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and verdant farm, providing a picturesque setting for ceremonies across Spring, Summer, and Autumn.
• The Fire Pit: Experience the warmth and camaraderie of the Fire Pit at King Family Vineyards, an enchanting spot on the brick patio adjacent to the Carriage House, where guests can indulge in delicious s’mores and engaging conversations under the starlit sky.
• The Pavilion: With its rustic charm and outdoor fire pit, the Pavilion offers an intimate space for up to 80 guests, available by additional rental for events separate from the Carriage House.
• The Dressing Suite: The Dressing Suite offers a bright and ample space where you and your nearest and dearest can gather to prepare in privacy and comfort for the day's celebrations, making it an intimate setting for those pre-ceremony moments.
• The Lounge: Discover the allure of The Lounge, a secluded and comfortable space within our venue, perfect for relaxing and savoring a pre-ceremony beverage. Outfitted with a flat-screen television, it's the ideal spot for suiting up and unwinding before the festivities commence.
• The North Gallery: An extension of the Carriage House main room, the North Gallery exudes elegance and functionality, serving as a great space for cocktail hour and evening bar service that complements your event's flow with sophistication.

Award-Winning Wines & Exceptional Cuisine

At King Family Vineyards, their award-winning wines elevate your celebration, offering a taste of Virginia’s rich wine tradition. Paired with their farm-to-table culinary offerings, your wedding menu will be a highlight, creating memorable experiences for you and your guests.

Pet-Friendly Ceremonies at King Family Vineyards

One of the charming benefits of King Family Vineyards is their pet-friendly policy. You're welcome to have your dog be a part of your ceremony, making your special day even more memorable with your furry friend by your side. While dogs must not be left unattended and are not permitted in the Carriage House during the event, they can definitely share in the joy and festivities of your ceremony. Service animals are also welcome throughout the venue. This thoughtful policy ensures that no member of your family, even the four-legged ones, has to miss out on your big day.
