Valley Road Vineyard
Spacious Vineyard Perfection
A rustic charming beacon beaming from the Blue Ridge Mountain countryside, Valley Road Vineyards welcomes weddings across its iconic spacious red barn, lush lawns, inviting terrace, tasting room and picturesque vines.
Curate a grand ceremony on the beautiful lawn silhouetted by mountain peaks and move into the bright, roomy centerpiece barn for dinner and dancing. Open three sides of barn doors to reveal breathtaking mountain and vineyard views as guests pour out onto the expansive wraparound deck. Stage stunning photo shoots on the terrace overlooking the Afton South vineyard's manicured vines. Sneak away for golden hour photos at the top of the vineyard backdropped by the spectacular Rockfish Valley.
Savor pre-wedding prep space and solitude in the stylish loft where styling stations and mirrors, soft seating, a refrigerator and a private bathroom await. Peer down from the picture window perched high above the grounds and watch guests arrive as the magic unfolds. Call on the tasting room, a former farmers market space, for rehearsal dinners and welcome parties and marvel at the wine bar top made from soapstone from a local quarry. Relax on the outdoor deck and flow into the adjoining white wood open-air Pavilion.
