there needs to be a 6th star for above and beyond.
barboursville vineyards is one of the most special places on earth and not just because it captures the majesty of virginia, it...
has a highly talented team to match. the land and buildings are tended with a care that completely radiates and enveloped our wedding. the inn and suites are a perfect mix of cozy and elegant, ran lovingly by inn keepers who prepared the most delicious meals and treats for our stay. and the food and wine from palladio at our reception were superb. we’re still getting compliments many months later, especially on the crab cake.
katie, the event coordinator, is a master at what she does. she knows the perfect questions to ask, the right advice to give, and took the time to really see me and partner. she is quick to respond and covers every detail with precision and warmth. we felt comfortable bringing in so many pieces of ourselves because they were simply held and uplifted. it’s due to this level of expertise and humility that she was able to guide us through the unexpected and uncharted waters of wedding planning to co-create a celebration that felt not only like us but also a love letter to our guests coming from new york and various countries to our home state of virginia.
thank you for taking such impeccable care of us, barboursville. thank you for the wedding that surpassed our dreams. we can’t wait for anniversaries spent reminiscing at the inn or one of the lovely cottages while sharing a bottle.
if you’re thinking about barboursville as the venue for your wedding, don’t hesitate. it’ll be the best choice you could possibly make and we knew it the second we drove in for our tour, little did we know the fantastic people behind it all.

From the moment my husband and I stepped onto the property, we knew BBV would be our dream venue. Katie made the whole process so much easier with how amazing she is at communicati...
ng and how she bent over backwards to make sure our wedding weekend went perfectly.
Sande at the Inn was amazing with making sure all of ours guests were taken care of and that there was nothing we needed for the bookings.
If we could do the day over again, we'd still pick Barboursville over and over.

Barboursville Vineyards was the absolute perfect place for our wedding. We could not have asked for more. The venue is absolutely stunning. The staff were exceptional. Everyone ...
was incredibly nice, helpful, and great at their jobs. Katie Britton, the event coordinator is the most amazing person ever. She helped us with everything and made sure that our wedding day was spectacular, including allowing my sister to throw us a wedding day run at the vineyard. The food from the Palladio restaurant at the vineyard was absolutely amazing. We had our rehearsal dinner there as well as our reception meal. The chef is impeccable. I had the best chicken of my life. The chef and staff made sure that all of our guests with food allergies were taken care of. Lastly, the wine at Barboursville is so delicious. The Petit Verdot is my absolute favorite but you cannot go wrong with any of their wines. My husband and I plan to go back regularly to this incredible place!

ntains glowing up the sky above the Ruins and acres of vineyards, the team offered impeccable service with spectacular attention to detail. This is all on top of serving the best wine in VA and, as one guest quoted, “the best food I’ve ever had at a wedding.” We also bumped into Chef Mike and viticulturist Fernando Franco the day after. Katie always said we would become part of the “family” and now I get it.

ion/ceremony space for couples looking for a more intimate planning and execution process. Their venue coordinator, Katie Britton, was a beautiful combination of deep experience with event planning, pure joy, and timely communication. She always made us feel like we were the only wedding she cared about. This was so evident throughout the process whereas other venues we had contacted, you could tell that you were just one of many, a spreadsheet to be completed. Barboursville (and Katie and all the staff) instead made us feel almost like their own family they wanted to celebrate and did everything in their power to make our entire day go smoothly. All our guests indicated it was the best wedding food they ever had (we definitely agree, please put thee duck confit gnocchi on your menus to all those looking), the service was immaculate, and the venue was beautiful. The venue and the team captured our vision of fall Virginia Vineyard wedding to perfection and we can't thank them all enough!

My husband have always loved Barboursville for its quality wine, great scenery, Italian connections and historic background. I am sooo glad that I chose Barboursville Vineyards as ...
my Wedding Venue. They made my wedding an absolute dream! Barboursville Vineyards, the 1804 Inn and Palladio Restaurant will always have a very special place in our hearts!
It was important to me to find a venue with phenomenal scenery, food, wine, history, facilities and a place to relax with my bridesmaids as I prepared for the wedding. Barboursville delivered on all accounts. Considering all of the services provided, the venue and catering, the venue was VERY economic. I worked directly with Palladio’s manager Alessandro as well as Chef Crawford to design a seasonal food menu. They are masters of their craft. Dinner was three courses with the main course served individually. Palladio staff were excellent. They helped with clean-up at the end of the night. They bar tended our liquor as well.
My husband and I chose to use the Historic Ruins as our ceremony site. Pictures turned out lovely! You are required rent the 1804 Inn to reserve the ruins. There is a discount for renting the whole 1804 Inn and cottages. Guests need a place to stay, worth it. The Inn is was lovely. I hosted tea for the bridesmaids. They serve fresh breakfast in the morning! Much needed after the big day. I will definitely return for an anniversary.
I will say that there was initial confusion and concern with the original event coordinator, this was fixed when Barboursville hired Katie as the new event coordinator. She was a positive source of energy willing to help and offer services, logistical and professional. We held meeting in the Library over wine and cheese. She stayed through the party on wedding day to ensure everything went well.
Overall a great experience which I would highly recommend! Other venues require individually contracting bathrooms, food and other vendors. Many had small areas to get ready. The cost and hassle becomes comparable to an inclusive venue. Other venues didn't offer the romance of historic Virginia among the vineyards. I booked Barboursville 1.5 years in advance.
