Wedding venues in Virginia

Planning a company event in Virginia

Virginia lets Washington-area teams leave the city without flying: a retreat in hunt country, among the Charlottesville vineyards or at a mountain resort in the Blue Ridge. Historic estates and resorts combine meeting rooms, bedrooms and space outdoors.

When to go

Spring and autumn are the best seasons, with mild weather for outdoor sessions and October colour in the mountains. Summer is hot and humid but suits resorts with pools and shade. Winter retreats work well at mountain resorts, with some risk of snow on the roads.

Getting the team there

Northern Virginia is reached by road from Washington, D.C., and teams from elsewhere fly into Dulles or Reagan National. Amtrak serves Charlottesville, Richmond and Williamsburg, and Richmond and Charlottesville have regional airports. Most country venues need a coach transfer.

Resorts, estates and inns

Historic mountain resorts with conference wings, country inns and estates in hunt country, wineries with event barns near Charlottesville and hotels in Richmond and Williamsburg. Smaller teams can take over an inn or an estate for the whole retreat.

Activities and history

Wine tastings, horse riding, golf, hiking on the Blue Ridge and visits to historic sites such as Monticello or Colonial Williamsburg fit between sessions. Many teams combine a retreat in the countryside with meetings in Washington, D.C.
