We got married at Mountain & Vine (previously DelFosse) last month and it was truly perfect. The owners of the venue are so kind and welcoming throughout the process and were so great to work with. Because the venue only does one wedding a weekend, we knew that we had their full attention. We were also able to leave items at the venue the night before the wedding, and pick things up the day after the wedding, which significantly helped when figuring out the logistics of things! The venue is absolutely beautiful and we are so thrilled we booked this place!

If you have the pleasure of being local to visit Mountain & Vine in-person, it’ll speak for itself…

If not- make-the-trip!! We traveled from MAINE!

This picturesque vineyard will leave you and your guests floored with its rolling mountain backdrop and towering vines.

My husband and I visit the Faber area annually for Thanksgiving to visit family, so we were somewhat familiar with other wineries in the area. But, we had never previously been, or heard of Mountain & Vine. I stumbled across this venue online when looking for a for a destination wedding. My wedding planner later described it as a ‘hidden gem’- I couldn’t agree more!

This vineyard offers more than just a reception venue; to look elsewhere for a ‘ceremony’ setting is comical! The ceremony site on top of the hill feels surreal in person. Many guests raved about the overwhelming feeling of bliss they experienced up there. Most guests took the opportunity before/after the ceremony to get their own photos to document the naturally jaw-dropping background.

When searching for similar venues, I found that I would love either the ceremony site or the reception venue. Mountain & Vine not only checked those two boxes, but in addition, offered a beautiful pond at the bottom of the hill to host our cocktail hour. They setup a fully stocked horseshoe bar and offered passed hors d’oeuvres with plenty of seating. This broke up the ceremony and reception perfectly. We hired Terra Voce, a local flute and cello duo, to play at the ceremony and cocktail hour. They added such a soft, elegant touch in the background, setting an intimate tone for the entire evening.

Mountain & Vine’s reception space really solidified my decision to go with this venue. The concrete floors balanced with rustic wood beams and cream drapery provided an updated, neutral canvas to add my style to. Mixing eucalyptus greenery and gold accents to the tables set a warm and inviting atmosphere.

We decided to rent the farmhouse on the property for the weekend, which was an ideal house for the morning of the wedding. Plenty of rooms and space to setup for hair, makeup and getting dressed. The farmhouse overlooks a different part of the vineyard. A few of my bridesmaids mentioned feeling like they were in France!

The cozy, authentically wooded cabin at the ceremony site was perfect for the groomsmen to get ready and have a drink before the ceremony. My husband and I stayed there our wedding night and more-than enjoyed waking up to the hilltop mountain view. We will certainly be back to rent that cabin time and time again.

We also hired Carpe Donut truck to serve warm donuts and coffee. This added dimension was a hit and so appropriate for the setting! Many guests mentioned what a unique touch it was, and the children loved it!

The staff at Mountain & Vine made my entire experience relaxed and enjoyable. From my very first emails with Adrian and Jena to the morning after the wedding, the staff went above and beyond to make sure my needs were met. I hired a wedding planner, whom I adored, but now knowing Jena and Adrian will be offering that service, it’d be silly to look elsewhere. Planning a wedding from many states away seemed intimidating at first. But, with their quick responses and knowledge of the area, I was at ease with finding all my vendors, etc. They guided me from beginning to end and I can’t thank them enough!

The owner of the Vineyard, Mike, was also super involved. His passion for the vineyard really showed as he personally toured the vineyard with us upon our first visit. He was also easily accessible throughout our wedding day and the morning after! He pours his energy into keeping the winery buildings, farmhouse, cabin and vineyards clean and well-maintained. Mike’s love for the vineyard is evidenced by tasteful wine, delicious food and happy staff!

I’ll attach some photos here that show each of the elements mentioned above.

I’ve been to many beautiful weddings; but, I truly don’t think I am biased in saying this setting allowed for the most special wedding I’ve ever attended!

We had the wedding of our dreams on June 11, 2022. The views hillside are a huge reason why we picked Delfosse and the weather ended up being perfect! We really had a fairytale wedding, with my husband's cousins from Italy even commenting, "it reminded them of Tuscany". We can't wait to visit and relive the magic on our anniversary!

PS Happy to share a list of my vendor dream team if anyone is interested!

We had to replan our wedding for three different dates due to Covid, and Delfosse was willing to work with us through it all! We finally had our wedding this November, and it was worth the wait. The vineyard in the fall is breathtaking, and guests commented on how beautiful everything was all night. We ended up having our ceremony in the "meadow" instead of at the top of the hill, but the fountain behind the altar made for an incredible backdrop. The tasting room was great for a chilly cocktail hour, and the event barn was perfect for dinner and dancing. I'm so glad we got to spend our wedding at Delfosse!

By the time we got married at Delfosse we were already legally married. Our first date had to be rescheduled. But we decided to go forward with a ceremony and celebration for ourselves, our families and our friends. So happy we did!!! It was the most fun, the most beautiful, the most happy, and relaxing day! The DelFosse staff was warm, kind and flexible. They rescheduled our event at no charge. They were cheerful and helpful throughout the process, coming up with creative solutions and giving us great advice.

My best friends and husband planned an afternoon at the Historic 1870s Log Cabin on the property of Delfosse Vineyards and Winery to celebrate my 30th birthday and the completion of my master's degree program. It was held on the wrap-around porch and patio area, complete with an outdoor wooden rustic bar, which was perfect for serving wine and for setting up a mimosa bar - essential for any event! Delfosse's sparkling wine, Joie de Vivre, was splendid to toast with. I LOVED all of their wines that were selected to be served - Hippie Chick, Grand Cru Reserve, Rose, Viognier, and Grinning Fox. I honestly can't pick a favorite because they were all amazing! The owners, Mike and Adrienne, treated my guests and I like family and were so accommodating, checking in to make sure that I had the best celebration and Delfosse experience. The sweeping views of the European-style terraced vineyards and Blue Ridge mountains were an added bonus, the most gorgeous backdrop to my event. I highly recommend anyone hosting a private event or looking for a wedding venue - look no further, visit Delfosse right now! Come see these spectacular views for yourself and drink their amazing wine, no wonder they are award-winning. I promise you won't be disappointed!

I am so happy with our recent wedding and brunch at Delfosse! Our plans changed so many times since we started planning during the pandemic, and the staff at Delfosse helped us every step of the way. Their wedding experience really made things less stressful, they had a lot of helpful insight I never would have thought of. Our ceremony was intimate and beautiful, all our guests were amazed by the views. We had our families stay at the log cabin and farmhouse, they really enjoyed being able to spend the weekend there. We also had a beautiful brunch the day after, it was a huge hit! I could not have asked for a more helpful and accommodating staff to make the weekend so flawless.

We were invited to a wedding celebration on August 28, 2021. The owners and team at Delfosse deeply care about providing the most outstanding experience for their guests and treat everyone as if they are family. It is absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend Delfosse.

DelFosse Vineyards and Winery was the absolute best choice for a wedding venue. Breathtaking views, a stunning property, sparkling clean facilities, top-of-the-line service, and of course, fantastic wine! Everything you could want, and more.

There are not enough words to express how wonderful our experience was working with DelFosse for our wedding. The owners, Adrienne and Mike, truly care about their couples, and went above and beyond to help us navigate the challenges of planning a wedding during COVID. We had to postpone our original date, and the owners and venue coordinator worked with us to ensure we still had the perfect day a year later. The venue is absolutely breathtaking - if you are looking for a venue in the Charlottesville area, look no further than DelFosse. It truly is a hidden gem. We are so grateful for our experience here and highly recommend DelFosse to all couples!
