Beautiful venue that provides amazing wine and views. Even with bad weather the alternate space inside worked great for our ceremony of around 70 people.

reception. The BVV's staff was fantastic, helpful and the venue easily handled 177 people without feeling too crowded. It was a wonderful experience all around. We so enjoyed the property from the Rehearsal Dinner/Welcome Reception in the Barrel room, to the cocktail hour on the patio and finally the wedding reception. The wedding reception was "off the charts" fantastic. I can't count the number of people who came up to me saying what a wonderful wedding it was. Thanks again to BVV's for hosting such a wonderful event. Wine was great too!

Kim really helped us coordinate during the day of and I know she did a lot of work behind the scenes to help our day go smoothly. Also their wine is great and one of our guests bought a case of it during our wedding because they loved it so much! Our day was beautiful and we loved having it here.

eated lasting memories at Blue Valley. Ken Gray was our venue rep and was by far the responsive person out of all of our wedding vendors that we worked with - he handled dozens of questions from us, and helped make sure the wedding was a success! We really liked that the venue was closed to outside visitors starting at 4pm (wedding setup time), and all of their wines are delicious. We are looking forward to visiting again in the future!

We have so many good things to say about BVV, its team and the Zissios family! We literally showed up mid-covid lockdowns without an appt or tasting reservation and Ken dropped wh...

at he was doing and gave us the FULL tour. From there we knew we'd found our venue- that same care is exactly what we felt for the almost two year engagement. We felt like family with Yianni and Helen - for all the wedding related visits and just winery weekends with our pups. They let us truly take the ENTIRE space and make it our own. We loved they let us transform the barrel room into a cathedral ceremony space - had the dance floor on the sunset terrace with the twinkle lights above - and the cocktail space was a perfect inside/outside space for guests to get beautiful photos of the scenery but also stay cool inside if they wanted. Our photos overlooking the mountains are breathtaking and even with super hot weather the event was a success. We became good friends with the staff including Ken, David and Adriene who are all such joys to see every time my husband and I visit (we became wine club members too!). The red wines that the Zissios family and wine-maker Shah create are seriously good - they are a hidden gem in VA. The prosecco is also so refreshing and our guests were RAVING about the sparkling rose (BVV Pink) we served as the welcome drink - we ran out super fast it was so popular!!! Our Sauv blanc also was snapped up by guests - people LOVED the wine (and not everyone there was a wine drinker - but now they are!) There is a bridal suite on property but because of my family size we rented the Zissios Airbnb property on property and I 11/10 recommend this. Not only was it beautiful and a calm place to watch the sunrise - it was a great space to get ready with all my gals - have a full kitchen and large bathrooms - room for makeup artists and the family helped get a precious piece of property back to us after we accidentally left it. There's also another unrelated airbnb at the bottom of the hill that was awesome to use for the guys if you have big families. BVV will always hold such a special place in our hearts - we loved our wedding with them and all the care they put into our day. Plus, it's a bonus we really reallly like the wine and have a few cases at home :D

I would like to give BVVW 4.5 stars, because I have so many good things to say, but it was just a tad shy of perfect. 1) The views are incredible. Just spectacular, breathtaking vi...

ews! 2) The wine is definitely some of the best in the NOVA. We tried a lot of wineries, & this is some of the best! 3) The space is pretty great, especially during COVID. There was plenty of space for everyone, both indoor & outdoor. The bridal suite was lovely & it was great that my groom had a place to get ready too. 4) Like many people writing reviews, Ken was awesome, and there were a few times that we stopped by to show people the venue or do some planning, & Ken & Linda always made a point to say hello, which was really nice. The only reason I don’t give it 5 stars is because things sometimes felt a little disorganized and frazzled, & for the cost of the venue, it really should be perfect.

She really helped us avoid issues and we appreciated it. Stergio the owner made us feel like family and spoke to us whenever necessary to accommodate our needs as they came up. Ken was delightful during our tasting and as our wine pourer during the event. I cannot say more about how wonderful this venue was and the views are unparalleled in virginia! A major gem in northern virginia for sure. Highly recommended!

With all of the changes resulting from having a 2020 wedding, the venue made us feel comfortable in knowing we would still have a special day. The ceremony is so gorgeous, overlooking the mountains. Our guests loved the cocktail hour, with the Blue Valley wine flowing. The reception was a dream. Not one moment of the day was stressful, and I am forever grateful! Thank you to all at Blue Valley! Can't wait to visit soon and often!

he full venue. The private event coordinator was initially the most-reliable to work with...until the day before the event she emailed that she wouldn't be on-site and that we'd be in the "capable" hands of the venue's staff; we requested a direct contact for someone and she didn't respond. So we show up the day-of, the venue isn't open yet, my family and the caterers are waiting outside for a spell which wasn't great for our nerves but it worked out fine. Most of the day went super well in terms of wine service and attention from the lovely owner and his son. But again a coordination headache when trying to learn if we could move the party down to the patio (which we had already reserved a table for).

ng Blue Valley was an immediate no brainer. Not only is the scenery and view breathtaking and the space beautiful and spacious, but our experience from the beginning with Cathy, the event coordinator, was unparalleled. Additionally, unlike the 5 other NOVA wineries we had looked at before BV, Blue Valley provided us with the entire venue for the day, closing to all other visitors. A week after finalizing our contract for our September 6th, 2020 wedding, COVID shut down the nation. Not only did Cathy ensure that I felt calm and supported as we waited, and ultimately altered our wedding specifics, but she coordinated with all of my vendors throughout the entire process. Though we decided to postpone our full wedding to next year with Blue Valley, this weekend we were married at Blue Valley with our families and it was perfect! Cathy ensured that, though our full celebration will not be until 2021, I had everything I needed all day and that our family ceremony, reception and photos were everything I had hoped. I have no doubt my experience in April will be just as wonderful. If you are a bride looking for the most beautiful space for your wedding, an unparalleled background for your photos, a wonderful bridal suite for your day, and the most amazing event coordinator who will make sure that your day is perfect, Blue Valley is your venue!

When I first toured Blue Valley, I knew it was the place I wanted to marry my soulmate. It was the most breathtaking of all of the wedding venues we toured. The pictures online do ...

not do it justice, you have got to see the property in person to really appreciate it’s beauty. With a 360 view of rolling mountains, the scenery can not be topped. Blue Valley Vineyard was the prefect compromise for me and my now husband. I wanted something modern and he wanted something rustic and outdoors. We also got the added bonus of delicious wine, friendly staff, and a very talented wedding planner, Terry Kaye. Our wedding day was MAGICAL and our guests are still raving about how gorgeous, well-planned, and fun everything was. The whole weekend was perfection and I truly believe that was because of our venue. We have been a part of a lot of weddings and Blue Valley is the most accommodating venue I have had the pleasure to work with. Everyone there jumped through hoops to create a stunning event and we made so many amazing new friends in the process. Blue Valley’s list of preferred vendors is the best of the best. We were able to establish a dream team based on their relationships to make our dream wedding come true. In our venue search, we toured with their owner, Stergio, who we love! He is so kind, talented and so proud of his work - which he should be. The entire Zissios family is so sweet! On our tour, when we walked down to the barrel room, I was sold. It is incredibly gorgeous to host an event. We had our magical rehearsal dinner in the barrel room for 75 people, all who were awe walking into the space. It is also a beautiful space for a smaller indoor reception. Attached to the the barrel room, is the gorgeous cave. It had an amazing backdrop for the guys to take photos while the girls finished getting ready in the charming bridal suite. I could write a novel on how awesome the bridal suite was for 15 ladies to get ready and it never felt cramped. They have a plethora of champagne glasses, a perfect place to hang dresses, and a private bathroom. The suite has the perfect light for photos and we shared so many special moments in the space. The only tricky thing about this venue for us, ended up being our guest count. We were planning on 250 guests and then later told to keep things to 225. Things were still tight and our guests in the loft had issues hearing and viewing speeches and dances. Just keep that in mind if you end up being on the larger end of their capacity! Thank you Blue Valley Vineyard & Winery for exceeding our expectations in every way. We can’t wait to come and visit with you for a wine tasting to reminisce soon!

Gorgeous venue! I found this venue after researching different vineyards in northern virginia that would accommodate 120 guests for an outdoor wedding and indoor reception. My mom ...

and mother in law went to see the venue for us and took lots of photos. We knew it would work out well size and location-wise and once we saw the view, it was a slam dunk. We had the wedding ceremony on the Sunset Terrace (b e a u t i f u l), wedding reception in the tasting room, wedding rehearsal dinner in the Barrel Room (check it out asap) and bridal party photos in the Bridal Suite. Our photographer took us down to the vineyards, too, which were a great backdrop for our first look! Last but not least, the wine was great! All we had left after the wedding was the rose (which is delicious, so I got too much of it to begin with), but I’m sad our guests drank all the red and white. Blue Valley is so special and will always be in our hearts! What a great and accommodating venue, not to mention an amazing staff.

As Italians ourselves, it was important for us to find a vineyard that not only had good wine, but created the perfect setting for a large wedding. My husband and I met in college ...

at JMU located in the Shenandoah valley so it was only natural that we would exchange our vows with the Blue Valley mountains as our backdrop. The Zizzio family are wonderful people and the owner Stergio made sure to take care of us on the big day (especially when he drove us around the vines so our photographer could take beautiful pictures!) Thank you so much Blue Valley for being apart of our beautiful day on 8.18.18 -The Anzalone/Pugliese family

If you are looking for a picturesque, fresh, new vineyard for your wedding in Northern Virginia, you HAVE to check out Blue Valley Vineyard in Delaplane, Virginia! My fiancé, Scot...

t and I were on the hunt for a winery/vineyard that could hold 150 guest and provide a scenic outdoor wedding ceremony and indoor reception. Upon arrival at BVV, Scott and I were taken back by the most beautiful scenery of any vineyard we had seen in NOVA. This is a newer vineyard in comparison to surrounding competition and it was every bit of perfect for our Romantic evening wedding on June 24th. Terry Kaye, the onsite event coordinator, couldn't have been a better fit for us. She is attentive and organized and made our day seamless from beginning to end. Stergio, the owner of BVV, is more of a friend to Scott and I than we could have ever imagined for the owner of a this venue. He went out of his way to make our day exactly what we wanted it to be and even in a crunch he came through with a brand new bridal suite for my wedding party and I to use on the day of. It is STUNNING and perfect for a large wedding party of girls to get hair and makeup done before the wedding. This vineyard not only has beautiful scenery, but let's talk about their WINE! The wine is the best VA wine that we have had and our guest continued to rave about the wine at our wedding. We still have bottles of Merlot left over from the wedding and love having it with our dinner. Scott and I fell in LOVE with BVV the moment we stepped out of the car and loved it so much that we decided to use the Cave and Barrel room for our rehearsal dinner the night before, June 23, for 65 people. This room offers a spacious, romantic, rustic feel with pure stone walls and large wooden dinning tables that fit 30+ guest. When we walked into the cave room we immediately thought, Game of Thrones! If we could give more than 5 STARS for this venue, we would! I believe it is not only the most up and coming wedding venue in all of NOVA but also the most up and coming Winery in VA:) Love, Katie and Scott Oby
