Early Mountain

Madison, VA

Vineyards & Wineries

200 guest capacity

A rustic pastoral energy meets dreamy vineyard whimsicality and unyielding Southern hospitality at this charmed countryside venue. Early Mountain Vineyards speaks the language of love through warm settings, small details and thoughtful gestures.

Arrange your celebration around the golden grandiose event hall adorned in greenery or the gorgeously manicured great lawn and landscaped terrace. Mingle over cocktail hour, dramatic fireplaces and plush lounge seating in the vaulted tasting room. Host an elegant rehearsal dinner in the secluded wine library chambers. Spend your first night as newlyweds tucked away in a magical guest cottage nestled in the grapevines.

Handcrafted farm tables, bone-white china, Prescott lanterns, wine barrels and soft bistro lights set the tone. Historic barns offer a timeless backdrop for first-looks and gorgeous portraits and the grounds are stunning with native grasses, limelight hydrangeas and awe-inspiring fall foliage. The Blue Ridge Mountain foothills and 305 sweeping acres provide poised backdrop perfection with rich green rolling hills and forests as far as the eye can gaze, while blushing violet hour sunsets come standard.
