We had the most incredible experience having our wedding at Keswick Vineyards, and we cannot recommend this venue enough! From the very first moment we reached out, the staff were beyond amazing, consistently going above and beyond to make our day as perfect as possible. Throughout the entire planning process, they were incredibly responsive, always available to help with anything we needed, big or small. On the day of the wedding, the team kept everything organized, ensuring that the day flowed smoothly without a hitch. Any minor issues that came up were swiftly resolved, allowing us to enjoy every moment without any stress.
The venue itself is absolutely stunning. The grounds are impeccably maintained, and there is truly a beautiful view around every corner—each location offering its own picturesque backdrop for photos and moments of serenity. Whether you’re looking for lush vineyards, breathtaking mountain views, or charming garden areas, Keswick has it all.
The combination of outstanding service, a picture-perfect setting, and a seamless experience made our wedding day unforgettable. If we had to do it all over again, there’s no question—we would still choose Keswick Vineyards. Thank you to the entire team for making our dream wedding come true!

We had our Oct. 2024 wedding here at Keswick and it was a perfect experience. Cindy, Grace and everyone on the team were terrific communicators with us throughout the planning process. 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.

Keswick is a no brainer for hosting your wedding. Their onsite staff helps the day to go off without a hitch (even when we had a spontaneous thunderstorm, they were ready to go with 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!

We toured several Charlottesville properties prior to choosing Keswick Vineyards as our wedding venue. We knew that KV was the venue for our wedding the moment we stepped onto the 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!

Keswick was the perfect backdrop for an even more perfect day! Our guests couldn't stop marveling at the gorgeous grounds and breathtaking sunset over the mountains and vineyard. I'd also like to highlight the Keswick team. I cannot speak more highly of Cindy, Grace and the rest of the crew! They are experts at what they do. As the bride, I had zero anxiety heading into wedding day. The day progressed seamlessly, and I was really able to be present. My husband and I haven't stopped smiling since the wedding and Keswick has a big hand in that. I'd book them a million times over.

My husband and I knew the moment we arrived at Keswick this was our venue! While there are many vineyards in the Charlottesville area, many of them treat you like you're just another paycheck & leave little room to customize your day. It was important to me to be able to really make it our own. Cindy & Grace took a true interest in us & making our day unique to us. Pairing that with it's unique European countryside feel made for such a beautiful day. It is 100% outside so just keep that in mind with the months you're looking at & pray for no rain! Also, Harvest Moon Catering from their preferred list is a MUST!

Keswick was absolutely the BEST most perfect place to get married. We are 10 months post wedding and we still think our best choice for the wedding was choosing Keswick. It is so beautiful that you barely need any extra decorations. The flow of the ceremony space, to the bar area, to the tent, is immaculate. I had so many people tell me that it was their dream venue and they didn’t even know it. Keswick was a once in a lifetime find and I am so thankful God led us to such a special place with such special people. Cindy and Grace were SO helpful and so kind. They made our day so much easier and put our worries at ease. They made us feel at home and so important. Keswick was truly the best choice and I’d recommend to anyone that wants breathtaking views and amazing service. Thank YOU Keswick!!!!

As many have noted previously, my wife and I knew Keswick Vineyards was the venue for our wedding the moment we step foot onto the property. The elegant ambiance and breathtaking scenery of the property is second to none. To start, we were given a recommended vendor list, along with some key documents to review. Grace, the coordinator at Keswick was truly amazing, she answered all of our burning questions and made sure that we were taken care of each time we visited Keswick (wine tasting, walkthrough, etc.) Grace was definitely an asset that was instrumental throughout our wedding planning, she was very helpful and often offered guidance and suggestions for everything from hotel to transportation service.
On the day of the wedding, Cindy and the Keswick team were a huge help in making the day an unforgettable experience. Every detail was flawlessly executed and the day went on seamlessly. We couldn’t have chosen a more magical place to celebrate our special day. To this day, we still have family and guests rave about how beautiful the day was.
Joanna and I are truly grateful for their hard work, dedication and commitment throughout this journey and we can’t wait to come back and visit. We highly recommend Keswick Vineyards for anyone seeking a dreamy and memorable wedding venue!!

We knew Keswick was the venue for our wedding the moment we drove onto the property. The drive through the vineyard is breathtaking no matter the season. We were initially torn between a date in August or late October. Cindy, the wonderful owner of Keswick, spent over an hour with us on the phone (before we had even signed a contract) talking through each date’s pros/cons, showing us pictures of the vineyard at the respective times, and helping us coming to our ultimate decision of October. She was so kind and patient with us as we went back and forth with our decision. Working with the Keswick team was a dream – we are not from the area, but they were able to accommodate a visit each time we were in town for us to check out the property again. We were given complimentary wine tastings when selecting the wines we’d be using for the wedding. They have a dedicated area on the property for you to bury the bourbon if it's a tradition you choose to take part in.
Grace, the event coordinator, was amazing. She was quick to answer any questions we had via email or over the phone. Cindy, the owner mentioned above, goes above and beyond to be sure your day is everything and more you would want it to be. She is subtly present the day of your wedding to make sure everything is running smoothly. She drove us and our photographer around in a golf cart during cocktail hour to make sure we found the perfect spot in the vines for golden hour. She genuinely wants your wedding to be the most special day.
The beauty of the property really speaks for itself. We were so lucky with the gorgeous weather coupled by the stunning fall scenery of the foliage and vines. We continue to have our family and friends rave about how beautiful the day was. We would choose Keswick over and over again!

The venue is absolutely beautiful and we received many compliments during and after our big day. Unlike a typical vineyard venue, the ceremony/reception area is completely separate 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!

Choosing the right venue for our wedding was one of the most important decisions we made, and we are overjoyed to share our exceptional experience at Keswick Vineyards. From the moment we laid eyes on this enchanting location, we knew it was the perfect place to begin our journey as a married couple.
First and foremost, the natural beauty and charm of Keswick Vineyards took our breath away. Nestled amidst lush vineyards, picturesque grounds, and scenic mountains the venue provided a captivating backdrop that made our wedding day feel like a fairytale. Our guests were equally spellbound by the stunning setting, and many commented on its unparalleled beauty.
The team at Keswick Vineyards was nothing short of remarkable. The event coordinator, Grace and the owner Cindy, were not just experts in their field but also genuine, caring individuals who went to great lengths to ensure our day was perfect. From the initial planning stages to the execution of every detail on the big day, their professionalism and dedication was evident. They listened attentively to our vision and offered invaluable guidance throughout the process. The result was a seamless and stress-free wedding day that exceeded our wildest dreams.
One of the standout features of Keswick Vineyards was its versatility and effortless beauty. Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, this venue has the flexibility to accommodate your needs. Our ceremony was held outdoors with the lush vineyards and rolling mountains as our backdrop, while the reception took place in the elegant tent framed by the beauty of nature, which was transformed into a magical setting that left our guests in awe.
Keswick Vineyards provided us with a dreamlike setting for our wedding, and the entire team exceeded our expectations. We are immensely grateful for their hard work, dedication, and commitment to making our day truly special. If you're in search of a wedding venue that offers natural beauty, flexibility, and a team that treats your wedding as if it were their own, look no further. Our wedding day was a masterpiece thanks to this remarkable venue, and we will cherish the memories made here for a lifetime.

We could not recommend Keswick Vineyards more as a winery as well as a wedding venue! After contacting several wedding venues in the Charlottesville area, the moment we started talking to Cindy at Keswick, we knew this was the venue we were destined to get married at. So much so, we booked it without visiting beforehand. We were able to do a virtual tour with Cindy, and she answered all of our many questions with great detail and assured us we would have a perfect day. We fully put our trust in the Keswick team and could not be more thankful! Once we booked with them, we received a comprehensive recommended vendors list, which we followed and couldn't be happier with the vendors we worked with. They were all very experienced with working at Keswick Vineyards, which contributed to our wedding day flowing seamlessly.
Leading up to our wedding day, we were able to visit Keswick on many occasions - to do our wine tastings for the wedding, bury the bourbon, and do our final walkthrough. Each and every time, the team was so accommodating and eager to welcome us back. Grace, the Keswick Vineyards Wedding Event Sales Manager, is extremely on top of things and worked tirelessly to ensure we had everything we needed for our wedding and that we were comfortable with all the decisions we'd made.
The day of our wedding was absolutely perfect. The venue is stunning, and minimal decorations and florals are needed to enhance the space. Our guests could not stop raving about how beautiful the venue was - it felt like we were in the French countryside! The way the venue is set up also helps the day flow seamlessly - from the ceremony in the front facing the vineyard, to the cocktail hour area, down to the reception tent. Everything was stunning and we couldn't have imagined a more perfect day.
If you are considering booking Keswick Vineyards for your wedding day, do not hesitate! We are so thrilled to be able to continue visiting the tasting room for all our anniversaries to come.

Words can not express how wonderful the team at Keswick is! We had our wedding there in June and could not have asked for a more beautiful location or more a more organized, kind and 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!!

Today is our one month of being married and my husband and I truly don't have the words to summarize Keswick Vineyards. We did what most couples do once they get engaged, which is to go venue shopping and nothing really popped out at us. In fact, we were about to call it quits and just get married in our backyard. Until we pulled up to Keswick Vineyards. The second we got out of our car we knew this was the one. Then we went inside and met Cindy and all the stars aligned. I can't say enough great things about how amazing she was with every single aspect of the wedding planning. She was thorough, kind, and made our vision come to life. Her team was nothing short of incredible. She encouraged us to bury the bourbon and thank goodness we did! It was supposed to rain (and yes, I called her almost in tears fearful that would happen) but she told me to believe in the bourbon and that everything would work out. Our wedding day was PERFECT and not one drop of rain, our fairytale dream came true. We wanted an outdoor wedding with a beautiful white tent and Keswick Vineyards exceeded our expectation. We were able to have our horse and carriage and our ceremony in front of their gorgeous home. From the breathtaking landscaping to the flawless getting ready rooms everything was spectacular. Don't get me started on the wine, which was to die for!!! We had Cindy, the owner, as our day-of coordinator (best decision we made) and her son was our videographer (another amazing decision) they are just the greatest people. We left feeling like we were family and I did tear up leaving the venue the day after the wedding because I was going to miss Cindy so much! I wish we could relive this day!

We knew from the moment that we stepped foot on the property that it would be a dream of 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.

From the first time we visited Keswick, we knew it was going to be the perfect place for our wedding. We couldn't have been more pleased! The staff was wonderful to work with, despite 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.

We fell in love with this venue the moment we stepped under the archway and saw the sweeping mountain/vineyard views during the tour. The backdrop of the estate, fountain, cocktail 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!

Cindy and Keswick Vineyards reputation speaks for itself, but they absolutely exceeded our expectations. We met with Cindy first. She was able to walk us through the entire process 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 ;).

An absolute dream of a wedding experience.
Having our wedding at Keswick Vineyards is hands-down the best decision we made in our entire wedding planning process. The venue is absolutely 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

Keswick was an amazing wedding venue from our initial tour to our wedding day. Not only is the venue itself stunning, the staff is incredibly warm, organized and supportive. While 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!

My husband and I got married in May 2022 and had the best experience with Keswick Vineyards. Not only is the venue gorgeous, but the team is amazing, friendly, and helpful! We got 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!

Keswick was our DREAM venue and we could not have asked for a better experience! The team’s communication and response time was great throughout the planning process, to our wedding 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!

Keswick was an amazing place to get married. I still have guests commenting to me on how amazing the venue was and how gorgeous. The staff at Keswick was awesome to work with and 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!!!!!

We will always consider it a blessing that we were able to have our wedding reception at Keswick Vineyards. The venue is absolutely gorgeous – part of what we loved most is how many 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.

Keswick, VA held a special place in Aaron’s heart as we began looking for venues to tie the knot. His family has a neighboring property, so it seemed only fitting to explore Keswick 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!!

Keswick Vineyards was the first wedding venue my husband and I toured. We loved it, but thought we should also look at other venues just to be sure. Well, after each tour we kept talking 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!

It is truly hard to summarize how thankful I am that we chose Keswick Vineyards for our September wedding. We wanted an outdoor venue with a tent included, which is exactly what Keswick 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.

My husband and I fell in love with Keswick Vineyards the moment we laid eyes on it, and even among the many gorgeous vineyards to choose from in the area, Keswick stood out as it 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!

We cannot recommend Keswick Vineyards, specifically Cindy (the owner and planner), enough! My husband and I originally had a June 2020 date, but because of COVID, we postponed not 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!

Going into our wedding, we didn’t know what we were looking for but felt we would know when we saw it. We toured five venues before Keswick and, the moment we arrived, we knew. The setting at Keswick is even more breathtaking in person than any picture could show. The scenic backdrops and distinct ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception spaces were exactly what we were looking for. The bride and groom spaces were also spacious, and a relaxing way to spend time ahead of the ceremony. Brian, Cindy, and Hailey were great to work with and made the process very easy for us. They were very accommodating, quickly working with us to move our date back a year during COVID, and always willing to provide input and point us to all the vendors they had worked with in the past. They were almost like a second coordinator for us and did so with no expectations in return. On the day of the wedding, they ensured everything went smoothly. They were always available and only escalated things when needed. One of our favorite memories from the ceremony is Cindy, unprompted, finding us in the vineyard following our ceremony and during our photos to slip us our signature cocktails to enjoy. We would pick Keswick Vineyards 10 times out of 10 if we were able to redo that magical day.

We had full confidence that the staff would make the day seamless and stress free, and it was better than I imagined! Our guests still rave about how beautiful every part of the day was. I highly recommend Keswick Vineyards for your wedding if you want high class staff, elegance, and a picture perfect ceremony background.

Everyone at Keswick was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. Our day was picture perfect and our guests are still raving about how gorgeous the venue was, even on an overcast day! One of our guests suffered a stroke during the reception and the staff members were both professional and courteous. They swiftly relocated the other guests to the cocktail area, moving the food and drinks up there, as to give our guests space and to not take away from the celebration for the others. Cindy kindly reached out after the wedding to check in on our guest and even mailed the family a kind note and bottle of wine. After everything everyone has been through with the pandemic, we could not wait to celebrate with our family and friends, and could not have imagined doing it anywhere other than Keswick.. We truly felt like family and can't wait to visit on our anniversaries!

With the unknown of what our wedding day would look like, we all stayed optimistic and hopeful and it was worth it because we LUCKED OUT with having all state restrictions lifted on our wedding day.

We couldn't have picked a better venue for our outdoor fall wedding than Keswick Vineyards. The first thing we loved about it was that there are so many different spaces on the beautiful property to utilize (unlike many others where the same space will be flipped for ceremony & reception), such as the vines, the house, the sailcloth tent, the pool, the side yard with beautiful trees, etc.! The vineyards provide incredible views & the house is a spectacular focal point that is classic and timeless. What a setting! The guests couldn't stop commenting on how beautiful the scenery and location were.
Plus Brian & Cindy were so easy to work with and ensured our day was just what we wanted. We can't recommend them highly enough! They were flexible yet steady -- something we appreciated even more during COVID uncertainty. They were always in our corner; Cindy even successfully lobbied the Albermarle County council to place "weddings" in a separate category of social gathering so we & others could have our dream days. They were conscientious, generous, and professional.
And you get great wine! You'd make a wonderful and stunning choice to have your wedding at Keswick. We have no regrets and only wish we could go back and enjoy the day again!

WOW. When my fiance and I first toured Keswick over a year and a half ago, we knew right away it was the venue we wanted to get married at. The views: indescribable. The staff: so warm, welcoming, sweet, and organized. The wine: delicious. Many of our guests commented on how it was the most beautiful venue and wedding they'd ever been to.
We originally were planning on a June 2020 wedding, but obviously things changed with COVID. Brian and the Keswick team worked with us to make a future date in 2020 work, and we settled on November 13th. We could not have asked for a more beautiful day. The weather had been awful all week from the hurricane hitting down in FL - even our rehearsal was gloomy and cold. But we woke up the morning of the 13th to blue skies and sunshine - just gorgeous fall weather. Brian and I talked about how everything happens for a reason, and maybe we were supposed to be married on November 13th all along.
If the views/setting, and the wine don't win you over, the staff certainly will. Brian, Cindy, and all the staff working the wedding day made sure everything was perfect - from helping with set up to greeting our families, to keeping us on schedule - they were all amazing and so kind! Keswick Vineyards will always have a special place in our hearts, and we will certainly be up in Charlottesville at least once a year to visit. Thank you, Keswick Vineyards, for giving us the wedding of our dreams!

Keswick deserves a special, detailed review because they saved the day a number of times and constantly exceeded our expectations. When we first found Keswick, we saw a promotional video from a number of happy couples who said that Cindy, Brian, and all Keswick staff made them feel like family. My then-fiancé was immediately sold...I was a little more skeptical, thinking through scenarios that would make those couples want to say these things...but I later found out that Keswick was everything those couples said it would be and more.
Lucky for us, I toured Keswick with Brian and immediately loved the venue, and we were sold. We also hired Brian as our month-of coordinator, which may have been the best money we have ever spent. Planning went pretty normally through the following months, we were set to meet with Keswick at the venue on 3/15/2020 to discuss the event and walk through everything. The walk through went well, even though we were unsure what the future would hold considering world events. The very next day, CDC guidelines forced our hand to postpone and we called Brian, with a plan to try to reschedule. When he answered, he took the reins, had the best approach, being in a position of knowing all the vendors already, and really saved the day. He worked with every single one of our vendors to reschedule, fix contracts, and point out where vendors could help us by being more flexible. I really don’t know what we would have done without Brian and Cindy at Keswick. They saved our wedding, and continued to deliver, up until sending us a lovely card a week after our wedding. Just one small example, our initial rehearsal dinner location closed down, and Brian helped us pivot quickly, and find a lovely new spot. This was all in addition to what we expected for their services, which was help on the day of; Keswick exceeded expectations there as well. Brian and Cindy handled everything from start to finish! I’m not someone who stresses the little things, so it was awesome to have them there to handle it all. Our wedding guests commented endlessly on how smoothly the event went and how wonderful it all was, and while our other vendors (who were all also great, almost all recommended by Keswick) were a massive contributing factor, Brian and Cindy brought it all together, and my husband and I knew the entire time they were in our corner, devoted to making our day perfect. As a side note, Keswick has also worked very hard to heed all necessary health and safety guidelines to make all guests comfortable at their venue.
I’m not sure how we could ever repay Keswick for saving the day for us over and over during such a strange time. Hopefully this glowing review (which covers only a little of why Keswick is amazing) can cover a small bit of that.

Saying it was a dream wedding doesn’t do justice to what Keswick Vineyards was able to provide us. From our first visit, my wife’s teared up eyes said it all. After 10+ tours across Richmond and Charlottesville, we knew this was “the one.”
Throughout the entire planning process and day of coordination, the team at Keswick went above and beyond to deliver on their promise to us. I would say we are pretty good planners, but we would have never expected the level of detail that a venue could offer us and provide an experience that was enjoyable and one to be excited about. This is a family business, and it comes across in everything they do. And trust me, it comes across to your guests as well. With roughly 125 guests, mainly from out of town, they were WOWed by the beauty of Keswick Vineyards and experienced a true destination wedding tucked away in Central Virginia.
We highly recommend this venue for your wedding 😊 And it doesn’t hurt that they have amazing wine too! We are now wine members and enjoy coming back to visit their tasting room. Their staff is always kind, considerate and go out of their way to make you feel special. Having our wedding at Keswick, I feel like we are partners in wine and joined an amazing family who hold a special place in their hearts for Keswick Vineyards.

Keswick is a beautiful venue - no doubt about it. You will definitely get some great pictures! Brian is very responsive and will answer all the many questions you will undoubtedly have. The house you see in the pictures is the personal home of the owner so you don’t have indoor event space in the case of rain. This added a little bit of stress about getting good weather the day of. You do have a bridal suite and grooms suite that are very nice! And there are bathrooms for the guests in that same building. You are not allowed to swim in the pool (understandably) but if any guest jumps in the pool at any point you’re charged $1000 so that also added some stress. We made a couple trips to Charlottesville to plan the wedding and map things out at the venue. They never explicitly said anything to rush us out but it always felt a little rushed because we were at their home. That being said, they were very accommodating and allowed us to come to the venue on weekends. Overall great experience and would recommend!!

Jodie,
Thank you so much for your kind words and feedback! We definitely understand that h...
aving an outdoor wedding can add a little stress when being concerned with the weather that day. That's why we have our rain plan under the Aurora tent in place to hopefully alleviate some of that stress! Keswick Vineyards is and has always been a family run business, which means it is also our home. We believe that is why each of our weddings is so precisely executed as our family is truly invested in the wedding day, I'm so sorry if you ever felt rushed for any reason as that is never our intent and we welcome all of our couples and their guests to our home with open arms! You are right that we certainly don't want people jumping in the pool, the fee is associated with security deposit and not an arbitrary number. Thankfully, with the aid of Keswick venue attendants its never been an issue!
We're so glad you had a great experience overall and we are honored to have played a role in your special day. May you two have the happiest ever after... ever!

Keswick Vineyards is the perfect venue to get married. It's drop dead gorgeous and you have your pick of so many different spots to hold the ceremony so you can truly make it your own! Also, Cindy the owner and her son Brian are absolutely fantastic people, so generous with their time and truly will do anything to make the day special. Booking Keswick was by far one of the best decisions we made and I wouldn't have wanted to be married anywhere else! You truly feel like family at Keswick Vineyards and it will make your momentous day that much more memorable :)

My husband and I fell in love with this venue right away. From the incredible views, amazing staff and the best venue it made our wedding more than I could’ve hoped for. The owner and everyone who works there go above and beyond to be overly accommodating. They made planning a wedding in another state across the country very easy. They answered all my questions immediately and We’re quick to help me pick the perfect vendors. My husband and I are so happy we chose Keswick to be apart of our special day.

Our fall wedding at Keswick Vineyards was nothing short of perfect. The whole day felt like walking through a dream as every last detail came to life. After over a year of planning and working constantly with the owner Cindy and her team, in the end the execution was flawless.
Keswick Vineyards was phenomenal to work with and Cindy's professionalism and her list of resources was outstanding and very much appreciated. Every time we needed assistance with a vendor or a detail, she had the answer. She was also our Month of Coordinator and I'm sure we did not make it easy on her as we kept changing details, but there was not a single issue the day of.
All of our guests have continued to tell us how our wedding was the best and most beautiful they had ever been to.
I cannot recommend Keswick Vineyards enough as it was the absolute perfect place to have our wedding.
