The Mount Fair Vineyard Collection
A Charming Equestrian Vineyard Wedding
This family-owned historic estate is a modern utopia of bountiful grapevines, sustainable flower, fruit and vegetable gardens and mountainside equestrian splendor. The natural Blue Ridge Mountain beauty and manicured grounds will take your breath away. Just 18 miles north of Charlottesville at the entrance to Brown’s Cove, the working farm and luxury wedding destination delivers more than 17,000 square feet of flexible event space.
Celebrate among rich soil and rolling farmland with a nature-inspired ceremony in the riding arena or along the horse paddocks and fields. Host a memorable dinner on the greenhouse terrace and welcome reception wine tasting in Mount Fair’s inviting winery adoringly restored in rich Virginian tradition.
Enjoy the Paddock House as a bridal suite or guest house with full living room, dining room, half bath and kitchen opening onto a covered wraparound porch with stunning mountain views that can accommodate dinners for up to 50 guests.
Ceremony & Reception Venue
A variety of flexible spaces sync across one beautiful flowing landscape. Host your wedding ceremony in the greenhouse gardens surrounded by two acres of flower, fruit and vegetable gardens laid out in English Garden style. Follow the oak-lined drive to the indoor riding arena featuring over 15,000 square feet of venue space. Sprawl out among dramatic 360-degree mountain views in horse paddocks and fields and call on the winery for small gatherings.
Catering & Bar Services
In a place where rich agriculture and natural bounty define the landscape, it’s easy to wow your guests with gourmet cuisine. Team up with one of our top tier catering companies and build out fresh locally sourced menus to share with your favorite people. Welcome guests with passed nibbles and pairings in the winery and showcase Charlottesville’s thriving orchards and farms on the greenhouse terrace beneath Tidewater Sailcloth Tents.
Florals & Decor
Celebrate Mount Fair Farm’s sustainable peach and apple orchard, honeybee apiary, abundant crops and flourishing greenhouse with dreamy locally grown seasonal florals. Complement the riding arena’s beautiful stained wood beams with climbing greenery and vibrant tablescape blooms. Line the open field aisle with subtle fragrant budding florals and romantic touches, letting the 360-degree mountain views shine through.
Tableware, Linens & Rentals
Shape indoor and outdoor event spaces with personal touches and plush comforts. Invite guests to settle into peaceful slower paced farm life with greenhouse terrace lounge décor circled around fire pits and a full farm-style family dinner with tablescapes in neutral layered tones. Toast the day with vintage crystal wine and champagne glasses and add softly strung bistro lighting to illuminate the bucolic Virginia backdrop.
