Wedding on the Water at Monroe Bay Winery. With unique and large strawbale barn and acres of outdoor land on the water near Colonial Beach. Our historic site is part of the original birthplace Farm of our 5th President James Monroe. We have more than 400 feet of secluded and tranquil waterfront land to plan your perfect day. We have a large, unique barn made of natural, recycled materials of strawbales for insulation and recycled wine bottles for light and design. You no longer see the strawbales in the wall as they have been covered with a hydraulic lime the same material castles in France for hundreds of years have been made from. The inside is a museum quality white lime finish with unique curves with sun shining through the patterned wine bottle walls to give a unique backdrop. Enjoy our wines and ciders for your special day. Colonial Beach is just East of Fredericksburg on mouth of the Potomac that leads to the Chesapeake Bay and only an hour from Northern Virginia and DC.
