Keswick Hunt Club
A Soulful Time-Honored Historic Venue
Founded in 1896, Keswick Hunt Club is steeped in tradition, countryside charm and easy flowing celebration. The longtime exclusive member-based foxhunting club is opening its doors to the public, serving up a spacious venue for rehearsal dinners, welcome parties and send-off brunches. Spend time with friends and family among natural Virginia countryside beauty and revel in recent renovations that honor history while embracing modern luxuries.
Unlike any other event venue in the Charlottesville area, this traditional Virginia hunting club invites couples to add their personal tone, style and design to the space. Create your own customized rehearsal dinner, cocktail hour and send-off brunch celebration. Use the full-service catering kitchen, arrange provided tables and chairs, and invite entertainers and wedding party speeches to the elevated stage. Dance across the dark pine wood floor and soak in the rustic, timeless old world aesthetic. Relax and connect in front of the floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and meander out onto the classic Southern wraparound porch.
A blank canvas awaits your vision. Call on the talented in-house event coordinator to work with your preferred wedding planner and designer. Usher in flowers, garlands and vibrant colors to offset the club’s rich brown hues and deep dark wood accents. Settle into the heart of Virginia’s horse and hunt country and celebrate your love at one of the oldest and most prestigious foxhunting clubs in the United States.

The Location
Setting
Tucked into the gentle folds of the Southwest Mountain foothills in the heart of Virginia’s horse and hunt country, Keswick Hunt Club is a short drive from downtown Charlottesville.
Things To Do
Charlottesville is home to thriving orchards, farms, and more than 40 wineries that inspire unforgettable restaurant experiences. Hiking in Shenandoah National Park, renowned river kayaking, and championship golf offer thrills while a celebrated theater and local live music scene entertain. Our stages are well stocked with highly coveted acts. In fact, Charlottesville is where Dave Matthews Band and Coran Capshaw's Red Light Management — the largest independent music management company in the world — got their start. For a taste of history, Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, James Madison’s Montpelier, and James Monroe’s Highland offer guided glimpses into the Founding Fathers’ legacies.
