The Tasting Room

Thanks for your interest in Notaviva Vineyards! Below, you will find the options we can offer you, for both indoor and outdoor weddings, depending upon the size of your guest list.

The Notaviva Vineyards tasting room has a maximum capacity of 64.

The rental for the Notaviva tasting room is $750 per hour plus tax (hours the tasting room is available for rent are 6pm - 10pm), and includes:

• Private venue access
• Notaviva staff
• Use of the in-house audio and visual system (don't need to hire a band or a DJ; just bring us an iPod with your playlists, and we'll do the rest. We also suggest making a thumb drive or DVD of pictures, to run on the flat screen TVs during the reception-people love to look at pictures!)
• Use of the in-house tables (30" x 8' banquet tables) and chairs (seating for 64). *Stylized tables and chairs can be rented if needed, for an additional fee.

The tasting room remains open to the public until 6pm. Guests may begin to arrive at 6pm and your ceremony should not start prior to 6:30pm. The grounds and the outside event tent would remain open to the public until normal closing hours. Customers would not have access to the wedding ceremony site or reception site.

We have an outside event tent, with capacity for 80 for either a sit-down dinner, or a cocktail-style party.

Rental for the tent is $500 per hour, plus tax and includes:

• Private tent access (tasting room & picnic area open to public)
• Notaviva staff
• Use of the in-house audio system
• (We would need to rent tables, chairs and linens for the tent; we can check into that and get back to you with prices. If you're looking to go casual, we do have picnic tables under the tent.)

If you wish to accommodate over 120 guests, we have a lovely area for a larger tent that can be rented and set up at the vineyard. We can look into pricing of the tent, tables, chairs, linens, etc, and get back to you with a quote.

If you choose to hold your ceremony and reception outside, outdoor events may start earlier in the day (additional fees may apply, ask for details). The tasting room would then remain open to the public until normal closing hours; access to the outdoor event tent would be private and for your guests only.

Rental time includes set-up and clean-up/tear down of anything outside of catering, i.e. decorations, etc. A maximum of three people will be allowed to begin set-up (decorations, etc) inside the tasting room at 5:00pm; the tasting room remains open to the public, and decorations cannot interfere with business.

We will lock in your date upon receipt of a non-refundable 25% deposit.

We have a list recommended caterers that can serve anything from sit down dinners to buffets or BBQ, with a range of budget options. These caterers are familiar with our kitchen set-up and we allow them additional time for set-up and tear down (5:00pm prior/one hour post rental).

We require a 2-case minimum purchase, mixed cases allowed. You are welcome to get a Virginia ABC banquet license, which would allow you to serve beer at your reception. We're happy to serve pitchers of beer from a keg, or hand out bottles from behind the bar. We're also happy to keep non-alcoholic beverages behind the bar, too, and hand them out to your guests. Last call is at 9:15pm, and we have a strict “parking lot empty and dark”, which includes wedding party and guests, at 10pm - no exceptions.

We would love for you to come out and see the winery and the grounds; “seeing is believing”, and I believe we have one of the prettiest venues in the area! If you would like to set up a time to get together, just let me know. You'll have an opportunity to take a look around and ask any questions you may have. In the meantime, if you have never been to Notaviva, there is a virtual tour of the tasting room you can take on the website: http://www.armillaryinc.com/panos/VA/purcellville/1/notavivameeting_swf.html

If you have any other questions, or would like to set up an appointment, please let us know!

The Glade

Notaviva Vineyards understands your passion, your desire to make the day perfect. Our founders, Stephen and Shannon Mackey, built their own wedding site by hand at the edge of the woods. Now known as "The Glade at Notaviva Vineyards" this peaceful location is wholly unique among outdoor wedding sites.

Imagine your guests gathered before this beautiful landscape. The processional music begins, and slowly the bridal party emerges through the trees. Romantic, mystical, and completely unforgettable, you, your spouse, and your families will treasure the experience forever.
