Danielle Sent on 05/09/2026Dream Venue
When my husband and I toured this place, we both knew it was the place we were going to have our wedding. The outdoor space and view is absolutely breathtaking. The fact that there are outdoor, outdoor covered, and indoor ceremony spots is a huge plus to this venue as well! The indoor space is amazing for weddings of all sizes since the dance floor is in the middle of space which we loved. King Family was very easy to work with and helped us put on a fantastic event! We got so many compliments!! -

The most beautiful wedding venue!
We could not have imagined our wedding anywhere else! King Family is absolutely breathtaking. Our wedding was in the fall and the backdrop truly felt like a dream. Juan was incredible to work with every step of the way - so kind, responsive, and organized, which made the planning process so smooth. We also had such a fun time during the wine tasting process leading up to the wedding! We’re endlessly grateful to have celebrated our day in such a beautiful and meaningful place! -

Lydia Sent on 09/05/2025Incredibly beautiful venue & well-oiled machine for weddings
We loved our wedding at KFV! Everything was so well run and the space was pristine. I love that we were able to utilize both indoor & outdoor spaces throughout the evening, giving people flexibility to get fresh air and stunning sunset pictures. KFV are such professionals when it comes to weddings, you don't even realize all the work going on behind the scenes to make everything completely seamless. I would recommend this gorgeous, professional, well-designed venue to anyone that wants a breathtaking wedding! -

A dream venue!
KFV was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. The venue is gorgeous inside and out. Our vendors routinely said how much they enjoy working with the KFV team. Juan and Gail were responsive to all of our questions, arranged a great wine tasting for us, and helped us bury the bourbon onsite. I lost track of how many guests said this was the most beautiful wedding venue they had ever been to, and it really is! -

Juliana Sent on 02/01/2024Dream Wedding Venue
Since the very first time I ever visited (which was before my husband & I even started dating), I knew I wanted to get married at King Family Vineyards. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking, and the facilities are equally gorgeous. In learning more about the amenities they offer, we knew this was the wedding venue of our dreams!
Juan and the rest of the Events team made planning a breeze. They were prompt in answering any questions we had, and their professionalism & experience in event planning was evident in their responses to us. They also provided an extensive list of preferred vendors, which was my North Star in planning - though we had a day-of coordinator, we found all of our vendors ourselves, and I always started with this resource from King's when looking for who to hire. With regards to the wine selection, our tasting was so fun, and we didn't have to worry about running out of anything during the actual event since they were available to pull any additional bottles we needed.
Financially, they were very transparent about what was included before the contract was even signed - there were no surprise fees or hidden venue "upgrades" that would have costed extra. We also appreciated how much flexibility we had in what vendors we selected, which ultimately allowed us to stay within our budget. Many of the vineyards we looked into in the Central VA area have strict requirements about outside vendors, especially with catering, which can add up quickly in addition to what they charge for the venue, but with King's, we had a lot of autonomy in these decisions. They also provided their wines at a discounted rate and bought back any unopened bottles we didn't use or want to take home.
My biggest suggestion is to book as soon as you can, especially if you want a fall wedding! Their calendar fills up fast just because they're such an incredible venue. I also want to mention that we got married in mid-November post-daylight savings, and though I was initially concerned about this timing (first because of the foliage and second we had our ceremony at 4:30 pm before the winery closed), we luckily had beautiful weather with a colorful backdrop, and the time of day didn't end up mattering at all. We are still getting rave reviews and compliments from our guests about how magical our venue was!
Overall, having our wedding at King Family Vineyards was absolutely a dream, and I would give them more than 5 stars if I could. Thanks a million for making our wedding so enchanting and memorable, King's! -

Mother of the bride
This is a perfect venue. You get so much for the cost. There is an in door option to get married in the event of rain, so no need to deal with a tent. String lights have been permanently installed!! The chairs and tables are included too!! You can bring any caterer you want!! It is such a beautiful vineyard you just can’t beat it. Views of the mountains, the barn, horses, the colors for the pictures are amazing. The wine is excellent. Juan was amazing and so helpful for my daughter needs and questions. Thank you Juan and the all staff of King family vineyard. -

Sabrina Sent on 11/06/2022Amazing venue with unique perks!
We had such a positive experience with King Family as the venue for our Oct 2022 wedding. It's a very popular venue so we recommend booking as soon as you can! They were all out of Saturdays in October when we booked our date 18 months out. Throughout the planning process, the events team was so helpful, flexible, and always quick to respond to our emails. Each of our vendors (and potential vendors) were thrilled when we shared that KFV was our venue and would comment on how great they were to work with. On the day of, everything went smoothly, the space looked amazing, and the views and weather were everything we'd hoped for. There were several unique perks to the venue, such as the groomsmen attending a KFV polo match on the day of the wedding, the wedding party participating in a 'burying the bourbon' tradition on the property, a layout that was very conducive to our cocktail style stationed dinner, and multiple rain plan options. Overall, they were the perfect venue for us! -

Emily Sent on 06/18/2022Beautiful inside and out
We had a great, easy experience working with the KFV team. We had to have our ceremony inside because of the weather but it was still beautiful - a big reason we went with KFV! We still got to use the fire pits for s'mores, which was a big hit with our guests. So glad we had our wedding at KFV! -

Genevieve Sent on 05/20/2022Love love love!!!
King family has always been one of our favorite vineyards, and now it will always be our favorite! Friendly staff, delicious wine, gorgeous views, and beautiful interior. We loved KFV’s flexible approach that we could select our caterer and provide our own liquid / beer. Great option in comparison to other venue vendors we explored. You cannot beat the views at KFV!! -

Caitlin Sent on 04/01/2022A venue that's perfect without any decor
The space and view are unbeatable. The King Family knew what they were doing when they bought that beautiful plot of land. Juan, Gail, Kim, et al, have become some of my favorite people and I look forward to popping in every time we come to visit. The wine, OMG THE WINE -- it's some of the best not only in VA but in the US. I love this place and it's become my second home. -

Great views, great wine, great vineyard
My fiancé and I spent 2 back-to-back days touring vineyards in VA to find our perfect wedding venue. We both ended up listing other venues as our first picks, but we both had picked King Family as our second pick. Looking back on the day, King Family should have been both our first picks as it was a perfect location, has terrific service, and delicious wine. We agree now that it was the right pick. We worked mostly with Amanda, who was absolutely delightful. The walk through to prep for the day-of was extremely seamless and the staff was so helpful in helping us determine how much wine we needed for the event (turns out we actually undershot it and the KFV team easily helped get more during the reception). While we did not have our ceremony at King Family (we're catholic), we were there quite early and the bride and groom rooms were perfect for the party to hang out in while we took photos on the grounds. Absolutely beautiful location and worked easily for our family and friends. We've continued to come back every time we are visiting my mother in Charlottesville (as we live in the Northeast). We have KFV shirts (purchased the day after the wedding) and getting married there is the perfect excuse to keep buying their delicious wine. -

Jasmine Sent on 02/17/2020Most Beautiful Venue
My mom and I came by one busy Sunday afternoon and they still gave us a full tour of the venue without an appointment. I fell in love with the space and brought my husband back a few weeks later. It was both of our favorite by far and the cheapest! They have great discounts for non-tradtional wedding days and offseason. Since we were both (A Sunday in December) we got an amazing deal!
The staff helped us every step of the way to plan our special day. The provided us with vendor lists so we did not get overwhelmed by all the offerings, they had a checklist so we knew what had to be completed and when, we got a complimentary wine tasting to help us pick the wine for our wedding, and they were there the day of helping make sure everything was perfect.
I loved our wedding at King Family, and I love to go back and visit because the winery itself is just so beautiful. You will not be disappointed if you book them! -

Abbey Sent on 09/17/2019Our dream reception venue!!
Having our reception at King Family Vineyards was an absolute dream! The venue is just stunning. That speaks for itself!! Every event coordinator we worked with in scheduling appointments/meetings and to hash out details was incredibly kind and very easy to get in touch with. Everyone was so professional, helpful, and personable. My husband and I would've loved to have access to the getting ready rooms earlier than noon the day of since our wedding was offsite earlier in the day, but we understand this is part of their protocol/policy. If you are having your ceremony onsite after 5pm, then getting into the venue at this time is no problem, our situation was just unique. :) With their policy they also require your caterer to come from their preferred vendor list, which was at first disappointing to us, but again, we understand that this is part of their policy to help uphold the quality of their guests events and to protect the integrity of their property. Plus, we found a great caterer!! We are so thankful that we got to start the huge next chapter of our lives at this very beautiful location, and KFV and the staff members will forever hold very special places in our hearts!! -

Sydney Sent on 07/13/2019Breathtakingly Wonderful!
Where to begin! We have loved King Family Vineyards and the people there for a long time, so it was special to be married there. Throughout the planning process, their events team was very helpful & responsive. We met with Amanda about a month before, and walked through several last minute details. She was so incredibly helpful, answered several questions, and was so generous with her time and input. On the day of our wedding, we had to make a last minute change of ceremony location due to rain, and we had our ceremony on the patio. It was absolutely stunning, intimate, and smooth. The staff helped us above and beyond with last minute details, changes, chair-moving, etc. We felt so cared for throughout our wedding planning process, and definitely on the day-of. We’re beyond happy that we were married at KFV. There is nothing quite like it ☺ Thank you to all the KFV staff and family!! -

We loved our wedding at King Family. Amanda and the whole events team were fabulous and extremely helpful. The space is beautiful, the wine amazing, and the view is unbeatable. We ended up with rain on our wedding day and held our ceremony under the awning out back. It was beautiful and so intimate. It's great that no matter the weather you can have a beautiful wedding at King Family. The photo opportunities are breathtaking between the mountains, the vines, and the polo fields and barn. They make it very easy for you to pick the right wines an the correct qualities for your event. -

We are so glad we decided to get married at KFV! It is a stunning venue, and the people we worked with were extraordinary. Amanda was superb and professional, but most importantly fun! She was always quick to respond and made everything easy. The day of our wedding, the staff on site was phenomenal. I do not planned on getting married again, but if I had to go back in time, I would choose KFV again in a heartbeat. :D -

Chiara Sent on 03/31/2019Beautiful space, great people, and convenient!!
King Family was the perfect venue for our wedding! First the location is AMAZING--with the gorgeous mountains in the backdrop, and the way their reception hall is set up, you really don't need a ton of decoration. It also is an unbeatable backdrop for photos.
Second, the physical space is great! One of the best things about King Family is that you have a built-in rain/bad weather plan, because if you can't do your ceremony outside (or don't want to), they have an easy way to do it inside without disrupting your entire reception plan. The way the venue is set up there are basically three physical areas (the carriage house, for receptions; the hallway around the carriage house, for cocktail hour/reception; and outside, which includes a fire pit). This gives you nice variety for how to set things up, and also gives guests the option to move around depending on what they are feeling (if they want to dance, or want somewhere quieter, etc.).
Third, there are getting ready spaces onsite, which makes it really easy for you and your wedding party to get ready without having to drive around all day. We arrived at noon and didn't have to leave until the end of the night. This meant that once we arrived we could just sit back, relax, and have fun!
Fourth, the wine was wonderful--our guests really drank a ton of wine! Their wine buying policy made it easy for us to only buy the wine that we actually drank, so we weren't stuck with a ton of excess wine, and we felt comfortable that we could easily get more if we underestimated how much we needed. This was just convenient and gave us piece of mind. And, by the way, we HIGHLY recommend the Meritage!!!
Fifth, your contract with King Family includes tables and chairs and some extra tables/wine barrels. This really helps cut down on your rental costs, which is obviously great.
Lastly, everyone at King Family was great to work with. They were responsive, flexible, and answered all of our endless questions.
All in all, it was a wonderful venue, and we would highly recommend it!!!King Family Vineyards's reply:

Chelsea Sent on 09/23/2018WE LOVE KING FAMILY!!!!! this was our favorite vineyard before the wedding and now it just means that much more to us. Kelly was so amazing and helpful through the process and worked with us especially when we had to move out of state. She answered all my questions within a day and was so kind to us. King Family is, in my opinion, the most beautiful vineyard in the entire area and their wine is the best too! All of our guests from out of town / out of the country were so impressed. Thank you King and can’t wait to be back!

Chelsea Sent on 09/10/2018We had our wedding here on 06/08/18 and it was perfect! All of our guests were overwhelmed with the beauty and lush green of the surrounding mountains and grand, sweeping lawns. It's the perfect backdrop to all of our wedding pictures. KFV is one of our favorite vineyards in the area and was long before we got engaged, so getting to get married there was a dream come true for us. All of our guests raved about the rustic elegance of the Carriage House and the delicious wine. The KFV Events team was fantastic to work with (thanks for letting us buy more Crosé, Kelly!!) and every employee seemed really enthusiastic and genuinely excited about our wedding. We also had our Sunday Polo Sendoff the Sunday after our Friday wedding -- if you've never seen polo played live on horses and people-watched all the polo guests in their big hats and Sunday best, you've got to do it at least once! All in all, King was the perfect place for our food and wine themed wedding and we wouldn't have had it anywhere else. -

Diann Sent on 12/02/2017My son was married here on 11/18/2017. While I was not involved in the actual planning here, I was certainly pleased with them. The bride and her family told me how accommodating they were. And such a beautiful location, with the added plus of delicious wines.

Mike Sent on 06/06/2017This venue is absolutely stunning! I wanted to mimic my home town, with mountains and horses and King Family had it all!
Kelly and the staff at KFV were amazing to work with and they helped make our every request a reality. We were able to hold our ceremony outside, despite extremely rainy weather right up to the very hour before, but I was completely on board with having it inside. The carriage house is simply gorgeous!
We held our wedding on a Thursday and that made the venue pricing very reasonable. They allowed us to use/move the interior decor in any way we wanted (with the exception of one large hutch) and the provided a choice of different styles of chairs to use. The even had enough for both inside and outside, without having to "flip."
We made numerous trips to the venue to meet vendors and plan our decor. Kelly was very accommodating, letting us in the carriage house whenever we requested and offering lots of helpful ideas and advice. She gave us just enough attention without being in our space and let us be to do our thing. We had plenty of time to drop off decor and get set up, and return to pick up items the next day. We LOVED the venue and the experience with Kelly was more than we dreamed of!!
The weather on our big day was rainy, right up until an hour before our ceremony. But I never got too worried about it because the carriage house has such a gorgeous fireplace as a background.

Megan Sent on 01/30/2014King Family is a stunning venue to hold any major event, but particularly a wedding! The staff at KFV couldn't be nicer, from everyone on the events staff to the tasting room manager, Matt. They will help you figure out what your needs are for your celebration and accommodate anything they possibly can! Their list of recommended vendors is especially helpful when trying to narrow down your options and you can be comforted knowing that KFV would only include the best vendors in that list! We are so happy we selected KFV because it inspired the most perfect wedding day we could have had. The venue is also fantastic because it is one of the few where you can have an indoor, winter wedding - many wineries only offer outdoor ceremony options, but getting married in front of the fireplace at KFV might just be the most romantic thing you could do. Highly recommended! -
![Erin]()
Erin Sent on 07/09/2012King Family Vineyard is truly my favorite VA vineyard. Not only are the facilities beautiful, well maintained, and well appointed but the views of the horse farms, rolling hills and blue ridge mountains are breathtaking. Some of the vineyards my husband and I visited, were stuffy and snobby - King Family Vineyard is much more relaxing, welcoming and puts on no airs. I would attribute this to the owners, Mr. and Mrs. King, who are what I describe as salt of the earth - kind, sincere, down-to-earth, hardworking people who are not too proud to clean tables and serve wine at their own vineyard. They are both very friendly to all of their guests and you can tell all of their employees are happy to be working there. The Kings and their employees made my husband, me and our family feel very welcome. Anne and Will, the King Family wedding coordinators, were also extremely friendly and helpful with our planning of both our ceremony and reception and King Family Vineyard. They were both very flexible, accommodating, and friendly. They spent a great deal of time with us, making sure we had everything set-up and ready to go, as well as patiently answering the plethora of questions we had. Our guests were truly delighted with our venue, and commented frequently on the beauty and tranquility of the vineyard. The gorgeous mountain views make the perfect backdrop for wedding photos and the wines are fantastic! I am so happy we chose King Family Vineyard for our venue!! -

Cassandra Sent on 10/31/2016King Family Vineyards was absolutely wonderful! Every step of the way through the planning process they were organized and responsive. You are only allowed to use their wine if you are serving wine at your reception, but it's awesome wine so it's definitely worth it! Our guests were so impressed with the gorgeous scenery and beautiful reception hall. -

Camper Sent on 03/24/2024Great venue! Not much décor needed, it's so beautiful on its own
King Family was very responsive to our emails. I love how easy it was to book a tour. We had a great experience with the staff and venue. The bridal and groom suites are not very big, so keep that in mind if you have a large wedding party. -

Dream wedding venue!
We were incredibly happy with King Family as our wedding venue. The outdoor ceremony location is unmatched, and the indoor space for the reception was the perfect size and layout for our wedding. Communication with the team leading up to the wedding was also great, and they made their expectations (e.g., for catering/set up, insurance, and ABC license) clear from the get-go to aid our planning process. -

King Family Vineyards is truly a dream wedding venue! My husband and I fell in love with King Family Vineyards at first sight. The event team was always responsive and clear when we asked questions. The planning process was so easy, they really are a well oiled machine! So many of our other vendors work at King Family on a regular basis so that was a huge benefit since we were planning from out of state. The bridal and groom suites on site made getting ready so convenient. The gallery and reception furniture that is already on site helped to create the perfect classy vineyard setting that we were looking for. We couldn't picture hosting our wedding anywhere else and now we have an amazing venue to return to for special occasions and anniversary bottles of wine! -

We just had our 2 year reception after an early-covid marriage and I am still on cloud nine from how beautiful the day was. We hosted about 150 people and it was a great size and layout for everyone. Despite some classic Virginia spring rain, everything was stunning and executed perfectly. The KFV team is friendly, professional, and so accommodating, and we'd do it all over again if we could. -

Katie Sent on 10/20/2019A beautiful location for a wedding!
King Family Vineyards is such a beautiful location and was just what we wanted for our wedding! King Family has a beautiful property and views, which we were able to take advantage of for our ceremony. The Carriage House is already a beautiful space and we didn’t need to add much in the way of decoration to have a beautiful reception. We had our cocktail hour outside and in the galley along the main hall of the Carriage House and then allowed guests access to the entire space for the reception, which worked out great. There is also a fire pit right outside of the Carriage House, and the s’mores station we had was a hit! Amanda was great and was always quick with a response when we had questions. And of course, the wine is awesome!! -

Patrick Sent on 08/01/2019Perfect Venue for a Summer Wedding!
We chose King Family Vineyards for our wedding venue, partly because we love their wine and the beautiful views of the mountains, but primarily because of the gorgeous indoor space (carriage room and cocktail area) and their industrial air conditioning, for our July 13 wedding. sure enough, it turned out to be scorcher, but after the ceremony, 140 guests were able to cool down comfortably indoors for the cocktail hour & dinner, and return outside for the gorgeous sunset. The mountains make for a gorgeous backdrop and the stables and grape vines made for wonderful wedding pictures as well. In addition, The team made the entire process easy and were more than accommodating when we dropped in unannounced on a Saturday for tastings. Thank you KFV! -
![Samantha]()
Samantha Sent on 07/17/2017Getting married in Charlottesville at a scenic vineyard was our dream but we quickly realized it was not a cheap dream. After venturing out to several nearby vineyards but leaving disappointed not only in the cost but also the wine, we found King Family. My mouth dropped the moment we pulled in. The view is STUNNING. While the price isn't cheap to the average bride/groom, it is very reasonable considering other vineyards in the area and the quality of their amazing wine. They also provide tables/chairs for the ceremony and reception. We booked our wedding for a Friday and had perfect weather; but I was also ok with having the ceremony in the beautiful carriage house if needed. Guests at our wedding were gaping at the beautiful mountains and sunset, we practically had to drag them back inside after dinner. We have received non-stop compliments since the wedding and are so thrilled that we forever have King Family in our hearts and memories. The ONE THING I wished was different is if they allowed the wedding party access to the venue before noon on the day of your wedding. It limits the option of being allowed to get ready on site in the bridal suite and kind of made for a hectic morning/afternoon the day of the wedding trying to get everyone from Charlottesville to the venue (about 25-30 minute drive). Other than that, I would recommend this place to anyone. We can't wait to visit again and again!
