Lovingston Winery

were able to stay on the property with my wife and bridesmaids in the farm house and myself(the groom) and my groomsmen in the cabin the night before the wedding. this is a big stress relief with not having to drive around the day of the wedding and getting to enjoy the night before with our closest friends. The houses and barn are all very nice and clean. The beauty of the barn with the large fireplace, wood tables, and large barn doors that expose the natural beauty of the vineyard we couldn’t have picked a better spot to celebrate our big day. Needing minimal decorations due to its natural beauty was a huge relief and great for all pictures to be done on property minimizing travel on the day. Tessa and Wes nailed it when it comes to customer service they are always quick to respond and helped shuttle our guests from the farm house where our ceremony was to the barn for the reception. I could not recommend lovingston winery enough for a wedding venue or just a glass of wine! An amazing place with amazing owners!

venue. They were also very accommodating to us and helpful getting everything set up for the ceremony. I would definitely get married here again.

ing from Texas and Tessa was accommodating to schedule a tour with us based on when we would be visiting VA. We absolutely enjoyed the surrounding vines and mountain views throughout the property and liked the fact that they only do one wedding a weekend. We also really enjoyed the idea of being able to select vendors on our own to curate the wedding we wanted and not be locked to specific venue vendors like other venues. Lovingston Winery was the first venue we toured, we did tour a few others and during those tours we kept going back to Lovingston Winery. Ultimately, we selected Lovingston Winery for our wedding weekend for this past labor day weekend. Tessa was communicative and informative during the booking and provided us great information. Once everything was confirmed Tessa provided us their preferred vendor list and we started planning from there. Honestly, planning a wedding from Texas to have in VA was a little scary however we were able to lock in some of our key vendors for our wedding through Lovingston's vendor list and then locked in other vendors based on those vendors. The process couldn't have been smoother. Over the next several months Tessa was great at answering our questions and providing additional details as needed. The week before our wedding we were notified rain as a possibility during our wedding, Tessa and our coordinator, Katelyn from Champagne Wishes, a preferred Lovingston vendor, were helpful in providing details of options, we ended up deciding to put a back up plan in action and a tent was built out on the back of the barn just incase. It finally came time for our wedding weekend and it went perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed the lodging on site and being able to have everything in one place for the entire weekend. Us and our wedding party stayed at the farm house and cabin while our family/ friends stayed at the local B&Bs, Airbnbs, and hotels. It was so nice to have all of our best friends and close family come in on Friday to hang out before all the wedding festivities got started. The winery being open that afternoon was nice to have as it gave something for our friends and family to do. We ended up having our rehearsal dinner at the farm house the night before and got catering from Vito's, it worked out well. The day of our wedding everything was set up in advanced, Tessa, Wes and their team helped guests with parking and guiding them to the wedding site location along with other items. They were there through all of it. It did end up storming during the reception, the tent was great to have as a prep area and space for furniture to stay dry. Overall, we couldn't have been happier with our venue selection for our wedding weekend. Since our wedding we have received so many compliments from our family and friends about how much they loved the venue and our wedding weekend. We highly recommend Lovingston Winery for a venue for a wedding or other event. We can't wait to go back and visit in the future! Thanks again Tessa and Wes for an unforgettable weekend and experience. All photos in this post taken by Rohrback Studios, a preferred vendor by Lovingston.

s with mountain views, the scenery is SO pretty. Not to mention Tessa and Wes’s beautiful design of the new barn - the Tupelo House - and the cozy vibes they created in the Farmhouse and Cabin. Tessa and Wes were communicative from the very beginning, helping us set up a tour, answering all of our questions throughout the entire process, helping us pick the (delicious) wines for our reception, and being super responsive during our wedding weekend. Having the Farmhouse and Cabin on property was such an amazing amenity. Most of our wedding party stayed onsite, and it made for such a fun and relaxed vibe that I would highly recommend - no need to look at extra properties for getting ready or booking transportation for the wedding party! Waking up on site and sitting on the tree swing and walking around the property with my dog, fiancé, and friends, was one of my most special memories from the weekend. The included furniture was awesome and fit our vibe, and the additional rentals they offered were stunning and matched the beautiful taste they demonstrate throughout the property. Being at a winery, you have to purchase their wine for the reception (just like all of the wineries in the Charlottesville area), and theirs are all amazing. I could go on and on about this property and the people. Tessa and Wes have something really special here, and I cannot recommend this place more! Photos by Amanda Owen Photo

y’ve put a lot of love and thought into the property, and the wine is also incredible! Both Wes and Tessa were great with communication, and they also got married here – so in addition to hosting many other couples, they know this place well! All our family traveled from out of town, so it was nice to have the option for some of us to stay on the property (in the cabin and farmhouse AirBnBs) throughout the entire wedding weekend and not feel so rushed on the wedding day. Some of our best memories were hanging out on the porch drinking coffee together or lounging in the Adirondack chairs sipping wine. Other family and friends stayed at hotels in Charlottesville or other AirBnBs/B&Bs in Lovingston. I also didn’t have a wedding planner, and Tessa was so generous with her time and wedding advice in helping me plan the day. Wes and Tessa set up our chairs for the ceremony and even had some of their crew help carry them back down during cocktail hour so we could use them again for dinner. The barn, called the Tupelo House, where we held our cocktail hour and reception, was beautiful. The weather was perfect with a light breeze, and the giant barn doors allowed plenty of airflow without the need to rent extra fans. I also loved that they offered farm tables, chairs, and a bar as part of their wedding package (among many other perks). The whole wedding weekend was absolutely perfect, and I cannot recommend this space more!
