The crown jewel of Central Virginia wineries (in my humble opinion) is Veritas Vineyard and Winery in Afton, VA (Nelson County)... about 15 miles West of Charlottesville. Veritas is a family business owned by Andrew and Patricia Hodson and is an absolutely incredible wedding venue. Not only is it spectacular and scenic from every angle, but the tasting room, decks and beautiful ballroom provide everything a couple could want in a location for their wedding.

This past Sunday evening I had the privilege of conducting the wedding ceremony for this beautiful couple, Christine and Dana, at Veritas. They had about 100 guests which is a relatively small crowd for this location but had a very elegant and and lovely event. The photo here of the ballroom with the radiant light coming through the windows will give you some idea of how beautiful it is ... but you really have to see it in person to get the full affect!

Veritas can also provide delicious dining menus for their guests with meals by their very own Chef Said Rhafiri. If you want the details on their wines go here , I'm not the best one to fill you in on those details so I suggest that you visit their site.

If you want to check out this beautiful place for your wedding give Christine Hurley, their Events Manager, a call: (540-456-8000 x107). She and her little pup, Zoe, will be happy to show you around and give you all the details on this beautiful location! Oh, and if a wedding isn't in your immediate future... just go up there for a few hours and enjoy the beauty (oh, and wine too, of course)!
