Riverside Vines

Dinwiddie, VA

Vineyards & Wineries

250 guest capacity

Where vineyard rows meet the quiet waters of Lake Chesdin, Riverside Vines offers a countryside escape shaped by wine, water, and wide open landscapes. The family owned estate brings a relaxed sophistication to the Virginia countryside, giving couples a private setting where celebrations can unfold entirely surrounded by nature.

At the edge of the peninsula, The Harbor creates a striking ceremony setting with a lighted pathway leading to a wooden arbor overlooking the lake. From there, guests can gather for cocktails at the Vintner's Lounge and its expansive waterfront patio before moving beneath the permanent marquee tent for dinner and dancing. Throughout the property, vineyard views, mature trees, and open lawns keep the surrounding landscape at the heart of the celebration.

Estate-grown wines, in-house culinary service, and overnight accommodations at the five-bedroom Chateau Thibault turn the wedding day into a complete countryside retreat. With everything gathered across one private estate, Riverside Vines offers an intimate wedding experience that feels relaxed, scenic, and distinctly Virginia.
