An absolute dream venue with incredible hosts! My daughter’s wedding day on June 6, 2026, was an absolute dream, and Moss Vineyards provided the most stunning backdrop imaginable. ...
The unobstructed mountain views are spectacular, but what truly made the experience unforgettable was working with the owners,
Ellen and Barry Moss. They were an absolute pleasure to collaborate with, so warm, accommodating, and flexible throughout the entire planning process. The transition between the gorgeous outdoor ceremony spaces and the elegant indoor reception room was absolutely seamless. As the mother of the bride, I cannot thank Ellen and Barry enough for opening up their slice of paradise to our family. If you want a scenic, magical venue near Charlottesville, this is it!
I could not recommend this vineyard more. It was the perfect size for our wedding with 80 guests — intimate while still feeling spacious and elegant. The views are absolutely unmat...
ched, especially in the spring when everything is green and blooming. We had the most perfect May weather, which made the entire day feel magical.
The atmosphere and overall vibe of the vineyard were warm, relaxed, and beautiful from start to finish. And the red wines are truly some of my husband’s and my favorites.
Ellen was nothing but kind, helpful, and incredibly easy to work with throughout the entire process. We’re so grateful we chose this venue for such a special day.
We had our October wedding at Moss Vineyards, and it was an absolutely stunning place to get married, especially if you’re looking for a venue for under 75 people. The venue itself...
is gorgeous, with sweeping mountain views that led to truly breathtaking sunset photos. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful everything was. Ellen and Barry were a pleasure to work with and were very flexible, both with our vendor choices and with allowing us access to the venue on multiple days to drop off and pick up supplies, which made logistics so much easier. They also recommended our photographer, who we loved working with.
Overall, the experience was fantastic and we’re so glad we chose Moss. One small note for future couples: there was a bit of confusion about when the tasting room would close on the day of our wedding (a Saturday), so I’d recommend confirming that detail in advance. Even with that minor hiccup, Moss Vineyards was an incredible venue and we’d highly recommend it.
Moss is a beautiful venue for the price. However, the groom's suite is not air conditioned, causing the boutonniere to wilt. On the day of, the owners were not the most responsive ...
making the wedding planner have to hunt them down to assist with curtains in the reception room during the sunset. However, I had a great time at my wedding, the wine was good, and the pictures were stunning.
Moss Vineyards has the absolute best views of any vineyard in the area. They're up on the side of a mountain, so you get breathtaking views of the Blue Ridge and valley. Our guests...
couldn't stop gushing about how beautiful our ceremony location was! The wine is delicious, and the different spaces (lawn, pavilion, tasting room, and event hall) made it so that we could move seamlessly from one part of the evening to the next. What's more, Barry and Ellen are lovely people. We had to postpone twice due to COVID, and they were so accommodating, flexible, and kind. We truly feel like they went above and beyond to help us make our wedding day possible! I'd highly recommend Moss to any couple.
This place is such a hidden gem, but my guess is that it won’t be for long! We had the perfect day here. The scenery provided such an incredible and breathtaking backdrop for our s...
pecial day. Our guests could not get over the view. We had our ceremony under the pavilion just at sunset and it was incredible. It was such a game changer to be able to set up the event space the day before. The owners, Barry and Ellen are the sweetest and are so helpful and accommodating throughout the whole process. Would recommend a thousand times over.
My husband and I picked Moss Vineyards for the amazing Mountain View and it totally delivered! The venue is absolutely beautiful and the fact that there’s a covered space in case o...
f rain worked out in our favor! Only downside to this venue is the owner is a little awkward to work with - he’s very accommodating but if I’m being honest he was hard to communicate with at times. Overall though the beauty and unplugged nature of the venue is totally worth it
Moss is such a dream venue! We got endless compliments about the incredible view. Barry is so accommodating and was so great to work with. He made sure the whole day went as we wan...
ted it to, even making sure his speakers were up to date and putting in tent sides on the pavilion in case of rain. It has such an incredible view and the event space is so beautiful. Our wedding was about 140 people and seemed to probably be the max to fit in the space, but still wonderful. We loved working with Barry and loved having our wedding at Moss!
This venue was absolutely amazing! The ceremony pavilion and brand new reception hall were fantastic and the view was unbelievable. Of all the vineyards in and around Charlottesvi...
lle, this one has probably the most spectacular mountainside valley view. There was plenty of space for our ceremony (in the covered pavilion), cocktail hour (in the tasting room), and reception (in the brand new reception hall). Moss Vineyards wine is also some of the best we have, and we received a lot of compliments on it from our guests. All the vendors also had an easy time coordinating with the venue and setting up and taking down for the event.
Barry and Ellen, the owners, worked tirelessly to make sure our day went off without a hitch. There had been unusually heavy rain for a couple weeks prior to our wedding date and a couple days before our date, the road up to the vineyard washed out. Barry was out there the next morning on his tractor and had everything fixed and back up and running in less than a day. He really cares about his clients!
I can't express how much we loved this venue and would recommend it to anybody looking for a wedding venue in Charlottesville!
