About

Barren Ridge Vineyards is a family-owned winery located on a high ridge in Virginia's beautiful Shenandoah Valley, that is ideal for both rehearsal dinners and weddings. Our event spaces provide many options for your celebration, all featuring spectacular views and an atmosphere of rustic elegance.

The Tasting Room is a cozy, intimate room with a large stone fireplace, reclaimed wood ceiling and beams, soft lighting, and a spacious bar, perfect for a cocktail hour. The wall opposite the fireplace looks into our wine barrel room.

The Audrey Blackford Room is our spacious ballroom, located on the second floor of the winery, featuring a vaulted ceiling, access to a deck overlooking the vineyard, and seating for up to 150 guests. Like the Tasting Room, the Audrey Blackford Room has a large stone fireplace and reclaimed wood beams and rafters. Other amenities include dimmer switch lighting and convenient access to a catering kitchen, private dressing room, and four restrooms.

The Lawn is a grassy area adjacent to the vineyard, surrounded by breathtaking mountain views, perfect for a ceremony among the vines.

The Patio is easily accessible from both the Tasting Room and the Audrey Blackford Room and faces west over the vineyard, providing a gorgeous backdrop for your ceremony or reception. The Patio offers beautiful landscaping, a pergola with globe string lights, and a stone fireplace.

Barren Ridge Vineyards is convenient to Charlottesville, Harrisonburg, Staunton, and Waynesboro. Our award-winning wines, friendly and helpful staff, and stunning location are all waiting to make your celebration even more memorable.

Outstanding

Out of all of the vineyards that you could pick to host your wedding in Virginia, Barren Ridge is the best. The vineyard has been owned by the same family since it was an apple orchard 100 years ago. The wine is delicious, the views are amazing, but the people make it special. Angela and Robb are excellent hosts and a joy to work with. They made planning our wedding easy and made us feel like we were a part of their family. We also have to mention the tremendous value that Barren Ridge offers. Many vineyards feel like wedding factories, they set you up on the day of your event and move you out that night. Our wedding was the only event that happened at Barren Ridge that weekend and it was treated with the highest priority. We were given the utmost flexibility for setting up and cleaning up after our event, there was no rush because there was no other event that weekend. We look forward to returning to Barren Ridge for years to come, we will always remember our magical weekend there.

Gorgeous venue for a really reasonable price

Barren Ridge has spectacular wines and beautiful views, a rare gem that has wines for many palates. Their grounds are gorgeous, settled between two mountain ranges and the upstairs banquet room has a deck which takes full advantage. The vineyards could not be lovelier and the price beyond reasonable with compassionate and kind owners who really value their customers.

Perfect place

Vicky and I were not looking for a big elaborate wedding. Instead we wanted something small and meaningful for us. I work full time and so does she so our weekends are the times that we have to go tour sites and stuff. Barren Ridge was our first stop…..and final, lol. I had spoken with Angela over the phone several times and she is great to talk to. She was very flexible with times to meet. When we went to the vineyard and actually met, we got a tour of the vineyard and a little history. The view was amazing from the cabin as the vineyard is nestled between two mountains. There is a multitude of options for pictures and backgrounds. We chose to stay here instead of looking everywhere else. The main thing was that we didn’t get a sales pitch. The whole, “this is what we have to offer, and this is what we can do” speech. We felt this was more personal. Angela should drop the “a” from the end of her name because she truly is an Angel. Her and husband Rob are great people that we will most definitely go back and see and drink wine with.
