I recently had the pleasure of hosting my wedding rehearsal at Merrie Mill Farm and Vineyard. From the moment you walk through Merrie Mill’s doors, this quirky and colorful venue is truly unique. Once outside, the breathtaking scenery, exceptional farm-to-table style cuisine outside in the vines under twinkling lights, and unparalleled service made it a night to remember. To say the event was magical is an understatement. From the moment I contacted Elizabeth and Christopher, the level of customer service and care to make our night unforgettable was truly remarkable.
Picture an outdoor dinner amidst the lush, rolling vines of the winery, bathed in the golden glow of twilight. Working closely with Christopher, his meticulous attention to detail created an atmosphere that was both elegant and warmly inviting. Our wedding party can’t stop raving about this being the best event they’ve ever attended.
Each dish was a testament to the vineyard’s commitment to quality and local flavors, and the expertly paired wines elevated the evening even further. The staff’s impeccable service ensured that every aspect of the dinner went off without a hitch, from the seamless setup, fireplaces, music, and attentive care throughout the evening.
What truly stood out was the personal touch and genuine warmth of the staff. They went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, offering thoughtful recommendations and creating a personalized experience that made us all feel truly special. Their dedication and enthusiasm were evident, and they played a significant role in making the rehearsal dinner perfect.
If you’re considering Merrie Mill for a special celebration or just to visit the beautiful property, I’m certain it would be the perfect choice for any occasion. I can't recommend this place highly enough.

We hosted a magical wedding for my daughter at Merrie Mill Farm and Vineyard this past weekend. Everything was truly amazing. The tasting room and property were in excellent shape. I could tell how much the staff cared about making a strong impression given the effort that they put into preparing the property for our event. The Pink Cottage is such an amazing benefit of having a wedding at Merrie Mill. Not only does it have a tremendous amount of character but it makes the day-of activities much smoother. Having an on-site facility for our daughter and her Bridesmaids to get ready in was tremendous. The coordination between Merrie Mill and C&O (our food caterer) was seamless. It honestly felt as if the 2 organizations have been working together on wedding events for many years. And lastly, the warmth and hospitality demonstrated by Christopher and the team at Merrie Mill was 5-star. So, thank you. The wine at Merrie Mill was also fantastic. We served the Rose, the White Blend, and the Petit Verdot at our cocktail hour and reception. Our guests raved about all 3. I highly recommend Merrie Mill for a wedding ceremony and reception. It was truly a magical experience.

I absolutely adore the quirky decor, charming staff, and the food is the best vineyard restaurant in Charlottesville area! The property could be 5 stars if the patrons would be advised to control their noisey children, or staff would enforce rules about noise levels, especially in dining areas.

Our first time here, staff was super friendly, beautiful location. Great wine selection and we liked most of them very much. We didn't eat but the food looked good. A little pricy at $18 per glass. But you are playing for the experience.

Sometimes I wish this rating scale was more flexible. The only reason this winery wasn't a 5 star review is they still do flights so tasting all that's available is difficult and while they grow the grapes there all the processing, aging, and bottling is done at another winery. We were able to try a total of six wines; 4 red, 1 rosé and 1 white. None of the wines were really dry (I liked) and their Rose was our favorite. This place does have great indoor/outdoor seating with the indoor part having one of the more unique styles of decor that I've seen at a winery. They also have a good menu and although we didn't eat there the food choices varied enough for snacking up to a full meal. Anyway my only complaint is this place is not close enough to my house.

stopped in ...bought a candle holder made from a wine barrel ..really neat .. BUT don't miss the huge "real" (stuffed) floating sea lion up to the left when you walk in ...ask for the cool story around it from New Zealand.

This place was super cool. The wine was good, and I usually don't like dry wines. The food was pretty amazing and I loved the little s'mores kit they provided!
