Keswick Vineyards

s absolutely amazing. Alyssa, the event manager, was unreal. She answered our million questions with patience and never once made us feel like we were asking too much. She was knowledgeable, kind, and played a huge role in making sure our wedding day ran seamlessly. Cindy, the owner, was equally wonderful. She was so warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. She made us feel so welcome throughout the entire planning process. Our guests couldn’t stop commenting on how beautiful the venue was and how great the wine tasted. We’re still in awe of how stunning the grounds are. Honestly, we wish we could get married all over again just to experience this venue one more time. We can’t wait to come back to the tasting room again soon. 10/10 experience (we’re obsessed!)

d enjoy the day. When weather caused a hiccup in our day, our cocktail hour was moved under the tent no problem, drinks were brought to the wedding party while we waited out the storm, and we were able to keep to our schedule due to Cindy and team's fantastic planning. The venue itself was beautiful - the pool, house, and vineyard made the perfect photo backdrop, the carriage house where we got ready was the perfect secluded spot for our wedding parties, and I just truly didn't have to think of a single thing. The inclusions to the venue rental (tent, chairs, tables, etc.) made planning that much easier, along with vendor recommendations, and Cindy and team are true professionals who know what they're doing and will ensure your day is just about you and your love story. We were also lucky to have Cindy as our month of coordinator, which if you're lucky enough to snag one of her limited spots, DO IT! Going into our wedding, I truly felt so stress-free and like everything was out of my hands and handled. I truly cannot recommend getting married here enough, and it makes me so happy that we'll be able to share a bottle of Keswick wine together each anniversary. Just truly can't fit how wonderful this whole team and venue is in a single review. I am so grateful our wedding day was so special and perfect thanks to this place. This is a dream venue.

for and more!

ess. They facilitated different visits for us with our families and they made our special day beautiful, easy and stress-free. Would highly recommend this venue: you'll get a beautiful backdrop to your wedding and an incredibly attentive team to help make the day run perfectly.

h umbrellas for our guests to get to the bathroom). Our guests made several comments about how kind and attentive the staff was. Also.. just look at it! It's stunning and doesn't need excess decoration. Thank you Keswick!

property. We were in awe of the natural beauty of the property - the blue ridge mountains in the background in addition to the stunning property landscape, the elegant white mansion with the large central fountain, and the lush vineyard vines at the front of the property. We found the outdoor setting to be unmatched when compared to other Charlottesville venues. There are countless spots on the property that are stunning and make for amazing photos. Another feature that makes Keswick Vineyards an optimal wedding venue is that the ceremony/reception site is separate from the tasting room. This allows you to start your ceremony at any time of the day instead of waiting for the tasting room to close. The team members of Keswick Vineyards, Grace (the event coordinator) and Cindy (owner) are truly remarkable. They are genuine, kind individuals who sincerely want you to have the wedding of your dreams. From the moment you book Keswick Vineyards, Cindy and Grace dedicate countless hours of their time in order for you to have the wedding of your dreams. My husband and I are so happy we chose Keswick Vineyards as our wedding venue. We could not imagine having our wedding at any other venue and are so excited to return to this amazing vineyard in the future!

Both Cindy and Grace were responsive and communicative and attended to our every need. They helped us manage stress and the multitude of to dos before the wedding and day of was such an ease ! We received many compliments on the venue and it is such a magical place to get married

a picturesque place to have our wedding. Grace and her team are extremely communicative and responsive, which helped take a lot of the last-minute planning stress off our shoulders - they have everything figured out! Our wedding went smoother than we could have imagined because of the Keswick team.

uests raved about the natural beauty of the space. The team was easy to work with and very communicative!

from the tasting room, making it a very private evening, which was important to us. This also allowed us to easily book the venue for the whole day without interfering with the tasting room, which doesn't happen at other vineyards (we could also start our ceremony before 6 pm due to this setup, unlike every other vineyard we toured). Staff were easy to work with and flexible to help us with what we wanted to do. Everything was clean and the grounds look great, couldn't have asked for better scenery for us and our guests. We are so glad that we chose Keswick!

that offers an impressive amount of flexibility and options to create the wedding of your dreams. The Keswick staff was very helpful and responsive throughout the entire sales & planning process, as well as when coordinating with our planner. We highly recommend Keswick for your wedding!

nd thoughtful team. Cindy and Grace made everything go so very smoothly and handled every little detail with ease which made me feel so relaxed on the day of. We had hired them as our month of planners as well and we were really happy we did! They kept us on track throughout the whole process and worked with us to solve every little issue. The pictures do not do the venue justice. We had multiple people audibly gasp upon walking up to the front of the property. The combination of the stunning white tent and house against the vibrant green of the landscape was truly so stunning. In the evening the sun lights up the property and gives everything the most gorgeous glow. All our guests are still raving about how stunning the property was! Many thanks to the Keswick team!!

f a wedding and we were right. They were always easy to reach and were accommodating and attentive to our needs leading up to our big day. By miracle and the diligent work put in during the wedding we were able to maneuver a rainy day and have our perfect ceremony outside. Every second of our wedding went off without a hitch and all the details of the venue were absolutely STUNNING. To this day we still have guests rave about how beautiful it was. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our day perfect!

from start to finish was so magical and we cannot thank the staff enough. Lindsay and Cindy were so sweet while remaining very transparent during the entire process which we appreciated. 10/10 would recommend this venue for your wedding!

unning, from the vineyards to the house, with the mountains in the background and fountain as the perfect ceremony backdrop. Not to mention the amazing Keswick Vineyards team that ensured our day was as perfect as we planned! Our friends and family have all complemented how wonderful the venue was and saying it was the most beautiful venue they have seen. We can't wait to visit again. Thanks again, Keswick Vineyards team!

pite having some turnover during our year and a half of planning. From our initial tour to the wedding day there was ample communication, and the actual day of couldn't have gone smoother. The weather was beautiful, the house was gorgeous in photos, and the tent was perfect for dinner and dancing (and was able to be closed up when it got a little chillier in the evening). I would choose this venue a hundred times over and recommend it to anyone looking to get married in the Charlottesville area.

setting, and tent could not be more beautiful and elegant, and our guests enjoyed the gorgeous scenery just as much as we did day of. Having access to the estate from noon - on was also a major selling point; we both loved getting ready in the bridesmaid/ groomsmen rooms! Finally, despite the exceptionally hot day, Cindy and her team were a delight to work with and helped make our wedding day truly flawless. Final tip: book this venue and use their recommended vendor list; most of the vendors we selected came from this list and we had THE best team!

helpful to be able to rent some decor directly from Keswick, such as our arbor, so that we could reduce the number of separate contacts we had. I couldn’t recommend them enough!

very smoothly and helped set expectations. Cindy truly cares about you as a couple, and wants to make sure your dreams come true. In fact, on the night of our wedding, Cindy was literally running to ensure we had a shovel to dig up our bottle of Bourbon (a Southern Tradition). Nowhere else will you find a better person and team to make your wedding everything you want it to be. In addition, Lindsay was a great communicator and helped answer our questions in an extremely timely manner. On the night of the wedding, Lindsay helped tie up a lot of loose ends to make sure our wedding went off without a hitch. Keswick Vineyards is picturesque and the absolute best place to have a wedding. Pictures do not do Keswick justice because the beauty will honestly take your breath away. The guests at our wedding could not stop talking about how perfect and beautiful the venue was. The grounds are conveniently arranged to allow easy flow between wedding festivities. This allows everyone to truly enjoy the space and feel comfortable. Also, it doesn't hurt that the wine is phenomenal as well! Please look no further than Keswick Vineyards for your venue. From the hospitality to the venue itself, we will cherish every moment from our special night, and we can't wait to continue visiting Keswick for years to come! We even bought a wine barrel ;).

olutely breathtaking, the wine tastes great, and the owners / staff were phenomenal with communication and support. We chose to use Cindy, the owner and optional Month - Of - Coordinator to assist us with planning and she was worth every single penny. Cindy is extremely knowledgeable, she is kind yet honest, and both her and her assistant Lindsay were very easy to communicate with. They provide every bit of information you could ever need, including suggestions for vendors, accommodations for guests, walk-throughs and consultations. They also offer beautiful suites for both the bridesmaids and groomsmen to relax in. We cannot thank Cindy, Lindsay, Doug, and the rest of the Keswick team enough for making our dream day so perfect. Every single guest that came told us that this was the most beautiful and successful wedding that they have ever been to

other venues in the area we toured made us feel like just a "number," Keswick took the time to get to know us as a couple and made the whole experience a lot more personalized and special. I can't recommend Keswick enough!

married in front of the vines, but there are many beautiful ceremony locations to choose from. We can't say enough good things about how amazing Keswick is! We received so many compliments on our venue, and had family and friends tell us it was the best wedding they have been to!

g day. They provided great vendor recommendations which made the process less stressful. The wedding day could not have gone any smoother, everything was so organized and ran perfectly. Nothing beats the views and scenery at Keswick, weeks after the wedding we still continue to receive comments about how beautiful the venue is! Wine was purchased through Keswick which was also amazing, and received tons of compliments on. Highly recommend Keswick if you are looking for an outdoor wedding venue in the area!

ow beautiful the space is!

really went above and beyond. The owners are really good people. The flow of the day was perfect, the sunset even better and the reception made for a really fun night. Cocktail hour was seamless and we had the games set up in the back lawn to allow for more activity. It was so romantic at night. I had a very large bridal party (12) and all of us and even family were able to have enough space to get ready and move about before the ceremony. I don't have a single regret on choosing this as our venue. The wine was also amazing (rose especially was a hit) and its awesome we have a place to visit now for years to come. Thank you again!!!!!

y different spaces guests were able to explore and how beautiful they all are. The day of our event Cindy, Brian, and the team were on top of everything. We especially appreciated how intentional they were about setting aside time for us as a couple to sit, grab a bite to eat, and relax together for a few minutes throughout the evening. Our original date was impacted by COVID, and Brian and Cindy prioritized making sure we were happy with our new date and plan. Part of why we picked Keswick was the "family feel" of the operation in comparison to other venues in the area that are much more structured and somewhat inflexible. The Keswick team will do their best to make sure their couples have a wonderful day.

k Vineyards as a possibility… we were amazed! The venue and home of Cindy and Al really speaks for itself, but touring with Brian brought an added layer of magic. He really took the time to make you feel like you were the only couple he was catering to and helped you see yourself getting married at Keswick Vineyards. However, my parents live out of town and we still needed their blessing. We brought them to Keswick Vineyards to tour with Brian and we did not make it halfway through the tour before my dad was on board and ready to book! Cindy and Brian take such pride and joy in making sure all of their couples and guests have an unforgettable experience and that is transparent. Halfway through our planning process, Brian decided to explore his passions and get back to his roots of cinematography. He stole our hearts from the beginning, so we couldn’t let him get away that easily… we had to track him down to be our videographer! The services Keswick staff provided (we believe) is unmatched by any venue around. Their communication is top notch. They provide recommendations of vendors that took the guesswork and mystery out of the search, along with the stress knowing vendors had the Schornberg seal of approval (the team dynamic between the vendors was absolutely perfect the day of the wedding!). They pay attention to the smallest of details (details we would never have thought of) to make your day even that much more memorable. We had the majority of family coming in from out of state, so Cindy and Brian provided a hotel list and airbnbs in the area. It almost felt like we had a wedding planner that came with the venue! We cannot say enough wonderful things about Keswick Vineyards and their family. We continue to hear high praises from our guests on how great of a time they had (we had a blast too!). We cannot help but to contribute a large part of that success to the environment and camaraderie the Schornberg family worked so hard to establish. The Schornberg’s truly go the extra mile to make you feel loved and welcomed. In short, “perfection” is the one word that stands out from start to finish. Thank you for such a wonderful and unforgettable experience!! -Aaron and Krystian

completely secure in entrusting Cindy with everything. On top of that, the actual venue is absolutely beautiful and we are still getting compliments on how perfect everything was… thanks for everything, Cindy! You truly helped make our day so special.

alking about how much we loved Keswick, and that is how we knew that it had the perfect blend of elegance and natural beauty that we were searching for. We knew that we wanted an outdoor wedding with multiple options for ceremony spaces, cocktail hour, and a large, gorgeous tent for the reception – Keswick has all these things and more. After a long engagement and two pandemic postponements, we were finally able to hold our wedding at Keswick this past October. We received countless compliments from our guests about how beautiful every part of the property is, and how much they enjoyed our wedding. Not only that, but co-owner, Cindy, her son, Brian, and the rest of the Keswick Vineyards team were a delight to work with. They truly accommodated all of our requests and made our wedding day feel very special. It was very clear from the beginning that the family truly cares about their couples and ensures that the whole wedding operation runs smoothly. We couldn’t speak more highly of Keswick and recommend it highly for other couples. After experiencing a perfect wedding day, we already can’t wait to visit the winery for our future anniversaries!

swick Vineyards has to offer—among many other things. It is a stunning setting during any time of year (I toured in March, and was sold by it’s beauty despite it being the dead of winter). Not only this, but it is a family run business, and you can really feel how much they care about their clients. We had the owner, Cindy, as our month-of-coordinator (easiest decision of the whole wedding planning process!), and her son Brian was our videographer with his own company (also the easiest decision ever, as we got to know him during our initial tour). They are just incredibly kind people. This beautiful property is their home, and it is so well kept—it is very elegant and grand, but maintains such an intimate feeling. The KV folks are very detail oriented, share helpful resources, and are extremely responsive. Despite how busy wedding season gets in Charlottesville, we felt so well taken care of throughout our experience.

combines a beautiful breathtaking views and elegance. All of our guests shared our sentiments; we heard over and over how this was the most beautiful wedding they have ever been to. Cindy and Brian were a pleasure to work with! We had to reschedule twice due to Covid and they worked with us seamlessly in changing the date each time without charging us a fee and making sure we could find a new date. Cindy obviously cares so very much in each and every one of her couples and making sure are happy. She is sweet and wonderful! Keswick allows for so many beautiful backdrops for wedding events and photos, including the gorgeous mountain view, the vineyards, fountain, the beautiful mansion, gorgeous pool, ect. I can't gush about Keswick enough. It was a dream wedding and I couldn't have asked for anything more!

just once, but twice. At that time, we had Brian, Cindy’s son working with us directly, and he was amazing throughout our postponements. He never made us feel bad about our decision and was very professional with trying to make a new date work. Planning a wedding is stressful, but having to plan a wedding with COVID in mind takes on a whole new stress level. We chose Keswick as our coordinator and we could not have been happier with Cindy. She’s very organized and detail oriented which is what you want in a planner, but because she knows the venue inside and out, it made the wedding day even more stress free! All of our guests kept saying how beautiful Keswick Vineyards was and it really is beautiful. You have numerous backdrops which include a beautiful mansion, fountain, vines, trees, and mountains which is perfect for photos! Thank you so much Cindy and team - it really was the most perfect day!
