Verulam Farm

Charlottesville, VA

Farms, Barns & Ranches

200 guest capacity

Formal gardens give way to open pastures at Verulam Farm, where classic Virginia elegance and working equestrian charm share one remarkable landscape. Set against the Blue Ridge Mountains, the 500 acre estate offers a private countryside setting shaped by grazing Friesian horses, sweeping lawns, and generations of architectural heritage.

At the heart of the property, a 1930s Georgian Revival manor is surrounded by gardens designed by renowned landscape architect Charles Gillette. Manicured lawns, sunken terraces, magnolia trees, and a stone gazebo create graceful settings for outdoor ceremonies, while horse paddocks, a peaceful pond, and the rustic Cider Barn introduce a more relaxed side of the estate. Receptions can unfold inside the historic barn or beneath a tent overlooking the surrounding countryside.

With its balance of formal garden design, historic architecture, and expansive pastoral scenery, Verulam Farm offers a wedding experience that feels refined, private, and deeply connected to the beauty of the Virginia Piedmont.
