  Beautiful space

  The entire place is gorgeous. We decided to have the ceremony outside in the trees, but our rain plan was to move it to the upstairs loft in the barn, which is honestly just as beautiful. I can't recommend this place enough.

  Perfect Venue

  I am so glad I chose Castle Hill as my wedding venue. The staff was so nice and accommodating. Josephine, Jenni, Rob, and Taylor are excellent to work with!

  The most gorgeous wedding venue

  Castle Hill was a dream destination for our wedding. Our family and friends could not get enough of the scenery, and we were lucky to have perfect fall weather! The new floors, bistro lighting and outdoor bar are amazing new additions to the wedding package. Laura Blair was so helpful with all of our event planning, I am so glad we got to work with her. Castle Hill was very flexible, open minded and amenable to all our wedding planning visions. The cider was a big hit-- especially the signature cocktails. We can't wait to return in the future to sip cider and reminisce over our wedding day!

  September 2020 Wedding

  Castle Hill was a fabulous venue for our wedding. We had to Reschedule our March wedding and Laura helped us immediately find a new date that would work. The scenery was beautiful and the day ended up great! Couldn’t ask for a better location!

  Amazing Venue!

  We are so pleased with our wedding celebration at Castle Hill! The venue is hard to beat, especially with the built-in rain plan, which we ended up using for our ceremony. I received so many compliments from guests about how beautiful the venue was and how intimate the ceremony was in the upstairs loft. At first I was slightly upset to have to move the ceremony inside due to rain but it ended up being really unique and special. You really can’t beat the view/backdrop from the open barn door upstairs in the loft. Laura and her team were a delight to work with. We had to reschedule our 2020 date two times and Laura was quick to respond and reserve our new date(s). The bridal suite was perfect for our large bridal party (11 bridesmaids + 9 groomsmen) to hang out in before the ceremony. All of our pictures on the lawn of Castle Hill turned out absolutely stunning. Thank you again for helping all of our dreams come true after 2.5 years of planning!

  A True Fairytale

  Words can't even come close to describing how magical this venue is. It truly felt like we were entering an enchanted forest the night of our wedding. The staff there is incredible (as is the cider!) Another huge perk was the size -- we were able to comfortably fit our very large number of guests, with enough room to dance the night away!

  GET MARRIED HERE! If you want a wedding in a beautiful barn with help from the best event planner ever who will make sure you are beyond happy with every little thing then this is your place. Evelyn Keyes makes sure Castle Hill Cider looks perfect including the moment you turn on the road to every last inch of the barn. It is truly the best experience I had had and know from other friends who have gotten married elsewhere that it is stressful and very tough. Not here! Beautiful, very planned out, throughout with the day of schedules, and just absolutely stunning from every angle. HIGHLY recommend!

  My husband and I got married at Castle Hill past June, and honestly we couldn't have dreamed up a more beautiful setting. Set against the Blue Mountains, and on a gorgeous estate, Castle Hill beauty comes from its elegant architecture and the natural beauty of its estate, which creates a unique atmosphere. Our guests couldn't stop raving at how gorgeous it was! And with Virginia weather, it was so handy to have both air conditioning and a gorgeous loft (came in handy on our wedding day!) that is just has gorgeous as the outside setting.
  
  But what makes the venue are the people. Since we first stumbled upon Castle Hill during a cider tasting tour, we were wowed by the staff who were so warm and friendly. We loved working with the event coordinator, Evelyn, who really went above and beyond in making our day special. Case in point: our Bernese Mountain Dog, who was our "ring bear", was terribly upset by the thunder and lightening storm that broke out during our reception. Evelyn and the staff hung out with the pup too keep him calm, and allowed us to continue to enjoy the night. There were many instances where they went above and beyond - this is just one of them! I would totally recommend working with them.

  Laura was wonderful to work with. Very accommodating, quick to respond, adaptable (we faced hurricane Florence) and the wedding reception was flawless and beautiful. Lovely setting and perfect for September.

  There are an overwhelming abundance of venues in Charlottesville to choose from but after lots of research we went with Castle Hill Cider because it offered us the most diversity when planning our wedding. It is a beautiful white barn surrounded by flawless countryside with a blank slate for the inside - giving the bride & groom the chance to make their reception their own. We got to choose everything down to the tables, chairs, lighting, dance floor, decor etc. We loved that we had so many options compared to other venues where you are required to use their planner, caterer, tables, chairs etc. There are a few different ceremony sites to choose from too (including a great rain plan in the loft of the barn) but the most special is under the Linden trees where we said our vows :) While having so many decisions to make was overwhelming it really allowed us to make our day unique. When it came to our big day we knew we had chosen all of the things that made it really feel like us down to every detail.
  
  Evelyn, the event coordinator at Castle Hill, went above and beyond to help us plan our day. She helps not just with the venue tasks but also with planning lunch for the girls while they are getting ready (in the awesome bridal loft with a private deck/patio area) and she personally arranged and lit lanterns to illuminate the outside of the barn for after cocktail hour. She is quick to respond to emails and overall a pleasure to work with.
  
  We are so pleased we chose Castle Hill for our ceremony & reception venue and it will be so fun to keep going back there years from now to enjoy the scenery and cider!

  Castle Hill Cider in Keswick, VA is, without a doubt, the most wonderful, full service, wedding and reception venue in the state of Viriginia, possibly on the entire eastern seaboard. The setting is absolutely stunning and the drive from Charlottesville, VA up Gordonsville Road to Castle Hill Cider put all of our guests in the perfect wedding mind set, relexed and ready to celebrate..
  
  This awesome venue is surrounded by beautiful mountains, valleys, orchards, lots of green grass and huge huge trees. Castle Hill Cider is set on a farm that is far away from any type of signage, advertising or noise, and it is only a ten mile drive from the beautiful city of Charlottesville, VA. The setting is quiet and peaceful, perfect for a wedding celebration.
  
  The venue is virtually brand new and looks new and fresh. It has a state of the art HVAC system recently installed, which kept all the guests and wedding party members very cool and comfortable. The upstairs wedding chapel is perfect for all your guests and creates a setting right out of a bridal magazine. There is also a beautiful outside wedding venue lined with a grove of beautiful old trees, and an awesome setting for the arrival of the bride in her chariot of choice for all the guests to see..The reception was held just downstairs below the chapel in the grand ball room, so there is no need for guests to drive after arriving at Castle Hill Cider. By the way, there is plenty of parking near the venue. There are simply no hassles in using Castle Hill Cider.
  
  The wonderful staff at Castle Hill Cider is always available to assist you in any way you may need. They worked very well with our wedding planner and the entire event could not have been more satisfying.
  
  This is a can't miss wedding venue and we will be forever grateful to Evelyn and Trevor at Castle Hill Cider for making this the perfect wedding experience.

  If you are looking for a beautiful venue for a wedding, look no further! Castle Hill Cider is absolutely stunning. We recently held our daughter's wedding here and everyone was blown away by the beauty of it. Their on site wedding coordinator Evelyn was so nice and accommodating and we really enjoyed working with her and our own planner to make the wedding memorable for my daughter. I cannot say enough about how wonderful and amazing it was to have my daughter's wedding at Castle Hill Cider. They are first rate from start to finish and I couldn't have been more pleased.

  Castle Hill Cider was a perfect selection for my recent wedding! Many of our 200 wedding guests enamored with the site and had described it to be the most beautiful wedding they had attended. I think we were asked by every person how we found the place. It was a perfect fit for our dream wedding. We enjoyed the area and we even brought our dog for our final walk through. We loved that it was dog friendly and we had the option of including our little puppy in our day. The pictures that have come in have been absolutely beautiful.
  
  Thank you Castle Hill for all your help!

  This is an absolutely beautiful spot for an outdoor wedding. Many of our 200 wedding guests thought it was the most beautiful wedding they have attended. They all wanted to know how we were lucky enough to have found Castle Hill. One of the wedding planners we contacted online, recommended it. The barn is big enough for guests and we did hire a separate vendor to really decorate and decorate they did! Since we were from out -of- town, we asked the folks at Castle Hill to recommend vendors needed for food and all. Everyone they recommended did a great job of fulfilling our needs. We used many vendors and were pleased with their work. It is not an inexpensive venue, nor were the venders inexpensive, but if you want a beautiful once in a lifetime wedding, this venue came through. We were so happy we chose Castle Hill! We were worried about not having any air-conditioning in the barn for the reception. We rented through one of our vendors huge fans and they helped. However, we were very lucky that on the evening of our wedding the air had cooled down due to a brief shower before the ceremony which made the weather very comfortable. The ceremony was held outside in the beautiful Linden Grove and then we enjoyed cocktails and appetizers on the outside terrace area off of the tasting room. A really beautiful area for cocktails. Later we all were ushered inside for the dinner.

  This is an absolutely beautiful spot for an outdoor wedding. Many of our 200 wedding guests thought it was the most beautiful wedding they have attended. They all wanted to know how we were lucky enough to have found Castle Hill. One of the wedding planners we contacted online, recommended it. The barn is big enough for guests and we did hire a separate vendor to really decorate and decorate they did! Since we were from out -of- town, we asked the folks at Castle Hill to recommend vendors needed for food and all. Everyone they recommended did a great job of fulfilling our needs. We used many vendors and were pleased with their work. It is not an inexpensive venue, nor were the venders inexpensive, but if you want a beautiful once in a lifetime wedding, this venue came through. We were so happy we chose Castle Hill! We were worried about not having any air-conditioning in the barn for the reception. We rented through one of our vendors huge fans and they helped. However, we were very lucky that on the evening of our wedding the air had cooled down due to a brief shower before the ceremony which made the weather very comfortable. The ceremony was held outside in the beautiful Linden Grove and then we enjoyed cocktails and appetizers on the outside terrace area off of the tasting room. A really beautiful area for cocktails.

  When I thought about my wedding, I knew I wanted to do it in a barn. I live in California, my parents live in Virginia, and my husband's family lives in Seattle - so we had a lot of options for where we might have our wedding, and we looked EVERYwhere. From the moment I pulled through the gate at Castle Hill, I knew I was going to be married there. It is absolutely stunning - from the grounds, to the tasting room, to the barn itself - and working with Evelyn made the entire experience a breeze. She is beyond friendly, extremely helpful, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Our wedding day was pure magic, and our guests can't stop talking about our venue. Thank you Castle Hill and Thank you Evelyn. We look forward to dropping in at Castle Hill whenever we are in town - and refilling our supply of delicious cider!!

  i had my wedding reception outdoors on the historic Castle Hill Cider property in the spring of 2012. it was the most beautiful event i have ever been to. the grounds were perfectly maintained and they were so detailed and accommodating. they went out of their way to make sure we were happy with our event and no stone was left unturned....spraying for ticks and mosquitos so we wouldn't have to worry about bugs, mowing the grass to our liking, meeting us for numerous on-site visits, tastings, etc. i was blown away by how incredible it all was....and on the most picturesque backdrop i could have imagined. not to mention how wonderful john and evelyn were to work with. i'm happy to now call them both friends. a truly fabulous experience! xo

  Would like to comment on 6/18/2011. It is my understanding that the Castle Hill Coodinator working on June 18, 2011 is no longer with Castle Hill therefore that comment should be scratched!

  The most STUNNING venue

  We had the most perfect wedding day at Castle Hill. Laura was amazing and so helpful - she communicated well and helped us coordinate timing/details of the day with a lot of flexibility. It was colder/windier than expected for our wedding in May but it wasn't even remotely an issue to move our cocktail hour inside. If it had rained, there is also an amazing indoor option of the loft upstairs. Truly, the venue sells itself!

  Dream wedding location

  Castle Hill Cider was the first venue my husband and I visited and we immediately knew it was the place for us. We dreamed about saying our vows in the Linden Grove for months and it was even more beautiful than we imagined. We also loved the cider barn for the reception with its floor-to-ceiling windows, bistro lights, and stage. They've made some great investments in the space since we originally booked it such as refinishing the floors, including the outdoor bar in the package, and making additions to the bridal suite and groom's room. One of the reasons we picked the venue was that it feels more private and laidback than others in the area. There's so much you can do with the space and it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves even when we were getting ready on site during business hours. Castle Hill Cider will always have a special place in our heart and we look forward to visiting and toasting cider for future anniversaries!
