Old Farm Winery at Hartland

Having just passed our one year anniversary, we are beyond thrilled at the lifelong memory we created having our wedding at Old Farm Winery! From our first site visit on a rainy, December day, we knew the space would be beautiful for a spring wedding. Right away, we felt the space would perfectly capture our vision while also being the perfect size for our day. Caroline and her team were extremely communicative and worked hard to appreciate the aspects that made our wedding unique. Plus, we really valued having the whole side of the property to ourselves the entire day - something other wineries can’t provide.

Some notes about how we used the space: The upstairs rooms were perfect for getting ready (the bridesmaids added on morning hours to get ready on-site), and the porch was the ideal space for our first look! Our Wedding Party also fit perfectly into a first floor room for our Ketubah signing ceremony. At our 60-day walkthrough, Caroline and her team presented a few options for our ceremony layout - We loved having our ceremony facing the big tree. Caroline and her team were also flexible accommodating our homemade Chuppah.

We had to have a band play our reception (we loved Bachelor Boys!), and having a band, buffet and 12 10-person tables was the right amount for the space. We opted against a defined dance floor and didn’t miss it at all.

Miscellaneous thoughts: Old Farm is drone-approved, and our videographer captured gorgeous scenic shots of the property! We chose one of the suggested caterers. Double check they have a license to serve in Virginia, otherwise they can walk you through the one-day licensing process to purchase drinks and have them serve on your behalf. Busses transporting guests might suggest multiple, smaller seaters to best navigate the parking lot. We had 3 34-seat busses instead of 2 55-seaters. Additionally, the venue does not allow open flames at all (even under glass votives), so we used flameless votives.

The wine is delicious, and we had no trouble hitting our minimum! We had a beautiful wedding our family and friends are still talking about. Our guests had so much fun, and we felt at ease planning the day of our lives knowing the staff at Old Farm was professional, kind and on-top-of every aspect of our day. We intentionally chose a venue we could come back to in future years, and look forward to future trips to the Old Farm tasting room.

One additional note: my out-of-town parents flew in for New Years leading up to our May wedding and visited the property unannounced the following day. The staff warmly gave them a private tour of the entire space and a drink in the tasting room. My parents loved the first-class, gracious service, which helped confirm to my wife and I that we made the right choice.

My now-husband and I actually booked this venue sight unseen and I couldn't be happier with our decision. Our wedding day (June 27) was everything we dreamed of, and OFW at Hartland played such a huge role in making it so special. The "virtual tour" online was so helpful and very accurate. When I first visited in person, I was pleased to see that it looked just like the pictures online - even more beautiful in person! We had 50 guests and this venue felt like the perfect fit for that size, but it could absolutely accommodate a much larger wedding. I didn't hire a planner, I planned it myself, so it was very nice to have day-of coordinators as part of the package. I initially spoke with Sarah P., Director of Sales & Ops and she was very friendly, welcoming, and informative. I then worked closely with event coordinator Jamie R. leading up to the wedding. She was so helpful in answering questions, accommodating during our walkthroughs, and a HUGE help day-of. Caroline J. was our second day-of coordinator and was also very kind, helpful, and on top of everything. They made sure everything ran smoothly (setting up centerpieces, guest book table, signage, seating chart, etc.) so I didn't have to worry about any of that before the ceremony.

The property is absolutely stunning, with beautiful vineyard views, gorgeous landscaping, and so many picture-perfect locations for photos. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the venue was. It's incredibly well maintained and has such a welcoming, elegant atmosphere while still feeling relaxed and comfortable. The manor house has a beautiful get-ready room for the bridal party, another for the groom/groomsmen, and multiple other sitting rooms. The manor and pavilion are conveniently close to one another, so guests were able to easily transition from ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner/reception. There is also tons of parking available.

As I mentioned, each staff member was wonderful to work with throughout the planning process and on our wedding day. They were professional, kind, and genuinely cared about making sure everything went smoothly. Having a team that was so organized and responsive made the entire experience much less stressful. They were also proactive in communicating a rain plan with me the week of the wedding. Fortunately, the rain held off and we were able to have our ceremony outside, but transitioning into the pavilion works as a perfect rain plan if needed.

We truly couldn't have chosen a better venue. If you're looking for a beautiful winery with amazing scenery, a wonderful team, and a place that will make your wedding unforgettable, I can't recommend Old Farm Winery at Hartland enough. We will always cherish the memories we made there.

We LOVED hosting our wedding at Old Farm Winery at Hartland! It stood out from other winery/vineyard venues in the area because it was a working, family-owned winery that makes GREAT wine, had an amazing staff that promptly answered all of our questions and worked with our other vendors easily, and had a very strong rain option. The venue also provided a lot of flexibility-- we could pick from several preferred caterers and had complete flexibility on all other vendors, and while all of our wine came from the winery, we were able to bring our own beer and liquor. Multiple people have commented since the wedding how much they loved the wine! In terms of the venue itself, we loved that there were several ceremony locations to choose from-- we got married in March (discounted, off-season winery venue season), but we were able to get married in front of a lovely old tree instead of facing the not-yet-blooming vines. The wrap-around porch of the manor was the perfect all-weather cocktail hour location, and having access to the rest of the house was perfect for getting ready photos in the afternoon and anyone who needed a break at any point. The groomsmen in particular loved the space to just chat and hang out while having some whiskey and sparkling wine, as well as the parents who were waiting for photos! The reception hall was gorgeous and had plenty of room for our 135 guests. It required no additional decoration for it have a full wedding look, and many guests commented on how lovely the space was! We loved how spacious the bar was and its proximity to the dancefloor! Our provided day-of coordinator was amazing at our walk through two months before the wedding, helping us think through details that never would have occurred to us. They were able to accommodate a rehearsal on site the day before the wedding, and we honestly don't know how we would have done it off site because the coordinator was so, so helpful getting everyone organized and explaining what we actually needed to walk through. The day of, we had big dreams of being overly involved, but honestly everything kept just magically happening around us exactly as we wanted it done and without us having to say or do anything-- so we could just focus on tying the knot!    

Our wedding at Old Farm Winery at Hartland was an absolute dream come true, everything we wanted and more! From the moment we arrived, the coordinators made us feel completely taken care of. The coordinators also provided so much help the moment our 60 day planning kicked in. On wedding day my coordinators were organized, calm, extremely kind and guided us through every detail so we could enjoy the day to the absolute fullest.

Old Farm Winery at Hartland's venue space is breathtaking. A beautiful backdrop anywhere you stand on the property, a charming manor to get ready in, and a romantic barn pavilion that provides a beautiful space to make your own.

If you are looking for a venue space that combines rustic elegance with heartfelt hospitality, Old Farm Winery at Hartland is perfect. We couldn't imagine a more beautiful and memorable day. A huge thank you to Hartland!

Old Farm Winery is a beautiful venue with a dedicated and caring staff! They helped make our wedding day amazing with seamless day of coordination. The day of coordinators were super flexible and worked with our schedule when it came to decor drop off. They perfectly decorated the space according to our vision and made the take-down process smooth and simple. The staff helped make our day perfect at this gorgeous, rustic venue!

OFW provides a Day-of-Coordinator, who you'll begin working with ~60 days out from the big day. We were paired with Jamie, and can't recommend her enough! Jamie, Scott, and the team were responsive, friendly, patient, and helpful. It ended up raining during our ceremony, but the team was completely prepared to pivot our plans and make it a beautiful day nonetheless. The venue itself is lovely, with lots of space in the adjacent manor building for the wedding party to get ready. The only downside was gaining access at 2pm (which was a bit stressful for photos), but otherwise it was perfect. The property is well taken care of, and the Pavilion is breathtaking. We absolutely recommend booking with OFW!

This venue is perfect for any style of wedding. The staff were professional responsive and helpful from day 1. They have thought of everything and were our greatest asset in planning our special day. The price was very reasonable, and the facilities were superb. The venue was beautiful and decorations were set up with meticulous care. The staff even solved a wardrobe malfuntion moments before the ceremony.

Beautiful wedding and event space. Day of coordinator was incredibly helpful and the day would not have run as smoothly as it did with their team. 10/10 recommend doing your wedding with Old Farm.

For over 20 years my 80-something mom and step-dad have hosted a pre-Thanksgiving gathering for 40 plus friends and family at their beautiful Northern Neck farmhouse. In 2023 they finally called it quits given the enormous energy and commitment required. If we wanted to continue this tradition in 2024 we were going to have to find a new and special place. Fortunately, we stumbled upon Old Farm Winery at Hartland. It provided beautiful countryside views, plenty of outdoor space for teenage boys to play football, or younger kids to play hide-and-seek, as well as a gorgeous events space and I haven’t even mentioned the great wine! To help us make this feel like old times, the winery allowed us to decorate the space beforehand and provided all the tables, linens, chairs and coolers we needed. The coordinator Sarah and the management team at OFW were at our disposal throughout the event providing ice, shuttling coolers, working logistics and helping or handling every logistical hurdle we faced. Our Thanksgiving gathering went off without a hitch and created a beautiful lasting memory. It looks like we’ve found our Thanksgiving gathering place for the next 20 years! Thanks Sarah and OFW!

Working at Old Farm Winery at Hartland has been an absolute pleasure! The stunning vineyard views, charming barn, and beautifully maintained grounds create a breathtaking backdrop for weddings and special events. The venue’s team is professional, accommodating, and truly dedicated to making each event seamless and memorable.

As a catering partner, we appreciate the well-equipped spaces that make service efficient while maintaining the rustic elegance couples love. Whether hosting an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, Old Farm Winery at Hartland provides an unforgettable setting that guests will rave about.

We highly recommend this venue for couples looking for a picturesque and well-run location in the heart of Virginia wine country!
