Incredible from start to finish - thank you, VRV!
The whole Valley Road Vineyards team (especially Barbara, Stan, and Ester) were amazing to work with from start to finish. Out of all the vineyards we toured in the area, VRV’s event space felt very intentional (essentially not an afterthought) for a wedding. We had a wedding of ~70 guests in October, and the event space layout made the flow of ceremony to cocktail hour to reception very natural/seamless. Some of our guests had mobility disabilities, and Barbara emphasized how important it was to have the venue be accessible and help those guests. Additionally, though it didn’t rain on our actual day, we loved the rain contingency plan within The Barn because it still gave us/guests the opportunity to admire the vineyard’s beautiful scenery. The views of the valley/mountains from Valley Road Vineyards are gorgeous, and our guests complimented the area and wines throughout our wedding day! Also, the sunset is STUNNING at the venue. During the initial venue tour, Barbara did an excellent job showing us the spaces, giving us time to enjoy the wines and discuss questions/concerns, and was honestly just a joy to interact with. As a queer couple, we felt welcomed by the entire staff. Throughout the entire planning process, Barbara was very quick to respond to any questions we had, flexible to what our needs were, and extremely helpful. We highly recommend Valley Road Vineyards for your wedding day!

Couldn't Be Happier
We had our wedding at Valley Road Vineyards in May 2025 and had an excellent experience from start to finish.
We toured several wineries in the area, and Valley Road stood out for several reasons. The venue and scenery are gorgeous, the prices are very reasonable for the area, and their wine was the best we tried.
The ceremony lawn has an incredible mountain view, and the reception barn spaces, inside and out, felt welcoming and well-designed. With the natural beauty of the property and the ambiance created by the string lights in the evening, we didn’t have to spend as much on extra decor or florals to get the feeling we wanted. The getting-ready areas (the groom’s lodge and bridal loft) were both very comfortable and made for great photos.
We were very impressed with the VRV team. Barbara was a complete rockstar! She was organized, responsive, and helpful throughout the whole planning process, which we did from out of state. She, Stan, and the rest of the team clearly care a lot about what they do, and it shows in every detail.
On the wedding day itself, Ben and Esther handled everything smoothly and kept things running on schedule. Ben was awesome to work with. He was prepared and engaged the whole time, and had a great friendly energy which helped set the right tone for the day. The whole day felt like a fairytale because everything was so beautiful and went so smoothly. One of our favorite memories of the day was being able to ride up into the vineyard for some photos and getting to pause for a moment to take in the stunning mountain views together.
Overall, we were really happy with our decision and would recommend Valley Road Vineyards to anyone looking for a beautiful venue with a team that you’ll feel confident in!

Thank you!
Barbara and Stan: We are so glad we found your lovely vineyard and became Wine Club members. We will cherish the memories made there forever -- not just as members, but by having our Rehearsal Dinner and Wedding there, as well. We look forward to making many more memories in the years to come. Thank you for all the hard work you did to make our wedding perfect!

Barbara was amazing to work with! She made my wedding day an absolutely seamless and wonderful experience!
Barbara was very responsive and incredibly flexible and understanding when working with her for my wedding. She was always willing to go the extra mile for me, my husband, our family, and our wedding party. I genuinely had nothing to worry about on my wedding day because she made me feel so confident that she was going to make everything perfect for us. I cannot say enough good things about the service and venue within itself. From stunning views to amazing set ups, everything was picture perfect! Even when a surprise, massive rainstorm came in the middle of the reception, Barbara handled everything, kept everything going smoothly, and most importantly kept everyone dry! Forever grateful for Valley Road Vineyards and Barbara!

10/10 Recommend this Hidden Gem of a Venue!!!
My husband and I got married at Valley Road a couple of weeks ago, and if we could, we would give them 11/10 stars! The venue is gorgeous, and the staff were so kind and helpful throughout the entire planning process. Barbara made the planning process so much easier and always responded to our emails quickly and efficiently! Ben, our point of contact day of, was incredibly kind and helpful as well! Not to mention, the wine is phenomenal!
Valley Road Vineyards is a true hidden gem with stunning views, fantastic wine, and lovely staff members. We would recommend VRV to any couple searching for their dream venue and to anyone looking for a delightful winery experience in the Afton area!

Best venue!!
Valley road vineyards was truly the best wedding venue! We toured about 10 other venues before touring valley road and once we saw valley road we knew it was perfect for us. The views of the vineyard, mountains, and lake are gorgeous at Valley Road Vineyards. The reception barn is also incredible and versatile. The sliding barn doors are great for cocktail hour transitions and there’s a great patch a grass on one side of the barn that’s perfect for food trucks (we had Rookies and it fit great there).
We had our rehearsal dinner at Valley Road Vineyards and we loved the space for that too!
Barbara and her team were also incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the process. I think a super unique aspect of their team is they offer couples the opportunity to go into the vineyard together during cocktail hours to take pictures which I 10/10 recommend (some of our favorite pictures from the day are in the vineyards).
Our family and friends still talk about how pretty the venue was and also how great their wine is!

A Stunning Backdrop to a Magical Day
We are so glad we picked Valley Road Vineyard for our wedding venue. From start to finish, our experience with Barbara was excellent. The venue itself is stunning – the vines, mountains, and barn are gorgeous. Every detail of the facilities at Valley Road allowed for a wonderful atmosphere for our special day. We had to move our wedding inside and the indoor rain option at Valley Road is just as beautiful as the outdoor option. Additionally, the ability for the bride to get ready in the venue’s bridal suite and the groom to get ready in a separate groom’s suite was a huge selling point for us. Our favorite part of our wedding was our first look in the vines. We could have stayed in those vines forever!
We love that we can go back to the vineyard any time we want, drink wine and remember our special day. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our wedding. We are so grateful for the unforgettable memories and would recommend Valley Road Vineyard to anyone looking to make their wedding day truly extraordinary.

A Magical Fall Wedding
My husband and I loved our experience with VRV as our wedding venue.
From the jump, we loved meeting with Barbara. The day we went venue shopping, we had a number of experiences in the area where we just felt like a number and they truly didn't care about us or getting our business. Barbara was genuinely interested in getting to know us as a couple and we felt cared for and valued. In an area where the wedding industry can be a machine, we felt like people - and more than that, family.
The wedding itself was intimate, accommodating, scenic, and everything we would have wanted. Barbara was amazing to work with, as we figured she would be from our amazing first meeting. We really appreciate her for being flexible and accommodating as plans came together and changed leading up to the wedding. In an industry of potentially flakey vendors, VRV/Barbara were extremely helpful in being the glue to hold everything together and keep things moving forward. I also want to give a big shout out to Ben who was the lead organizer for the venue on the wedding day and he was terrific; our grandmas, who needed to be escorted around via golf cart at times, seemed to have the best time and had a constant smile on their face in Ben's company.
I also must mention the pure beauty of the venue. My husband and I got married in late October and the trees could not have been more beautiful. The site of the ceremony was stunninh with the mountain backdrop and the barn had a magical feel in the Fall as it turned from day to night. Also the opportunity for the couple to go up to the top of the mountain for pictures was every bit as awesome as I thought it would be.
Overall, if I could give the venue 10 stars here, I would. Could not recommend enough.

5 Star Experience
When my husband and I started visiting vineyards in Virginia, Valley Road was our first stop. We both knew immediately that any additional venue would have some VERY large shoes to fill, and we were right. Nothing compared to the beautiful landscaping and views, the immediate feeling of comfort and home as if your parents used to sip wine there while you played among the laughter and cheer of other visitors - not to mention the DELICIOUS wine. To this day, any other vineyard I visit has not been able to serve up a better Sauvignon Blanc.
Barbara had us hooked from our first greeting and still welcomes me with open arms each time i visit. It really shows that they aren't just holding another event but truly invested in your experience. I was (and still am!) so proud to show my friends and family our chosen wedding venue and every time we arrived, Barbara would smile and say "it's all open for you, have fun!" and made us feel like insiders to an elite club.
We were blessed to have so many great vendors (who ALL came from a recommendation list Barbara provided!!) but the venue was truly the foundation for our perfect day.
I look forward to visiting again and know i'll be greeted with warm smiles and the perfect pour.

The Perfect Venue!!
My husband and I got married at Valley Road Vineyards in September and truly had the most incredible experience! From the moment that we reached out with our initial inquiry, Barbara, Stan, and their team were amazingly responsive and ready to help with any questions or needs. Planning with them was truly a seamless progress. The wedding itself was the absolute best day of our lives! The getting ready area was spacious and perfect for our group. The ceremony lawn, photo spots, deck, and reception areas were absolutely gorgeous. We had the most amazing time with our guests and will remember our wedding forever! Everyone was so detail-oriented and ensured that our wedding was exactly as we envisioned. Our guests had amazing things to say about the venue and quality of service, too! Huge thanks to the whole Valley Roads team for the most perfect venue, delicious wine, and incredible support while planning!🤍
