The Pippin Hill Collection
A Superb Lavish Vineyard Gathering
No wedding weekend detail is left untouched at this ultra luxe wine country destination just outside of Charlottesville. Expertly designed event spaces and meticulously manicured landscapes overlook flourishing vineyard rows and the beaming Blue Ridge Mountains. Here, modern elegance merges seamlessly with rustic allure and precise, professional hospitality are paramount.
Lynn Easton and Dean Andrews founded Pippin Hill on a love of special destinations and bespoke experiences, bringing along richly honed backgrounds in wedding planning and luxury hospitality. One of the country’s most desired wedding venues, Pippin Hill presents itself in serene organic beauty across four unique venues with flexible outdoor ceremony settings.
Choose from a verdant vineyard lawn and main lawn, sleek winery tasting room, an old world stone veranda with floor-to-ceiling windows and a spacious granary with a two-story vaulted ceiling. Relax and primp in a thoughtful bridal loft or groom’s grotto and treat guests to a renowned artisanal catering program celebrating Charlottesville’s garden-to-table food scene.
Ceremony & Reception Venue
A nod to Virginia’s proud agrarian heritage, the polished 3,600-square-foot granary shines with ambient lighting, rooftop cupolas and hardwood floors. Honoring classic Tuscan character, the stone and wood Veranda is ideal for sunset cocktail hours, while the relaxing winery tasting room features a large bar crafted from a 400-year-old Cypress tree. Two plush lawns are the estate’s plein-air centerpiece, providing spacious layouts for a once-in-a-lifetime ceremony.
Catering & Bar Services
Led by Executive Chef Ian Rynecki, the exclusive in-house catering team celebrates Charlottesville’s local food movement through partnerships with regional producers and artisans. Choose from bar and catering packages, formal and informal dining, seated or stationed meals. Seasonal menu stars pull from Pippin Hill’s kitchen gardens and include rave-worthy summer thyme gin lemonade, preserved strawberry and chevre canapés and Maine lobster tail all paired with Pippin Hill wines.
Florals & Decor
Begin with a magical green, thriving canvas trimmed to perfection and wrapped in wide mountain and vineyard vistas. Delicate dessert display blooms, native greenery climbing to the granary’s two-story vaulted ceilings, pretty pink and ivory seasonal arrangements comprising the grand ceremony archway overlooking rolling farmland — there’s no limit to what your floral designer can do with this serene landscape.
Tableware, Linens & Rentals
Mindfully curated wedding packages include classic Pippin Hill linens and napkins, china, flatware, stemware and barware. Add your special floral and decor touches to white ceremony chairs, Chiavari dining chairs, round dining tables and portable bars. Create a tea and lemonade station with vintage glassware, add glimmering candle towers, distinct drapery and additional lighting to set the flawless scene.
Photography
Photographers delight in the timeless wine country setting and unbeatable natural greenery. Arrange a sunset photo shoot on the ceremony lawn with tranquil Blue Ridge foothill silhouettes and beautiful manicured vines as your backdrop. The pampered bridal loft welcomes the perfect amount of natural lighting for delicate pre-ceremony photography, while the roomy leather groom’s grotto brings distinguished photo flair in the Pippin Hill Wine Cellar.
Planning, Coordination & Design
Your dedicated preferred planner will work with Pippin Hill’s experienced events and culinary team to iron out every detail. Leave the little (and big) things to the pros — making sure vendors are routed to their proper locations, lighting and sound are running smoothly and the wedding party has what they need before the main event. All-inclusive packages and professionally trained staff mean you can fully experience your day.
