The 3 Best Wedding Venues Around Winchester

Virginia couples are leaning into venues with character and charm: rustic ranches, farms and barns ranked second as ideal wedding settings in Zola’s First Look Report, reflecting a shift away from blank spaces and toward built-in ambiance. In Winchester and the surrounding Shenandoah Valley, that trend plays out across diverse estates—each offering unique landscapes, intimate architecture and seamless weekend-long celebrations. From French country inn gardens to rolling pastures and secluded ponds, these venues promise more than a ceremony space; they deliver an experience grounded in place and personality.

L’Auberge Provençale Inn & Restaurant

Tucked into Boyce’s countryside, L’Auberge Provençale transforms a Federal-style manor and its blooming orchards into a storybook wedding backdrop. Couples exchange vows beneath a custom arbor in the gardens, then dine on seasonal fare crafted by Executive Chef Alex Sakelakos using “best of the season” ingredients. With 14 guest rooms (plus three at nearby Villa la Campagnette), the inn accommodates intimate elopements and full-scale celebrations—packages start around $3,000 and can extend up to $7,500, covering everything from venue rental to printed menus.

6 Pastures Farm

At 6 Pastures Farm, the phrase “your own slice of Winchester” takes literal form across 25 acres of rolling fields and a cathedral-ceiling barn. Hosts Paul and Mary offer three-day exclusive use—so there’s no frantic set-up and tear-down on the big day—and assign a dedicated coordinator to handle every detail. Guests glide between ceremony and reception sites aboard golf-cart shuttles, while the venue’s rustic interior, complete with exposed beams and panoramic pasture views, sets a relaxed yet refined tone.

Landfall Lodge

Hidden on nearly 200 acres of private woodland, Landfall Lodge pairs panoramic ponds, pergolas and silver maple groves with a versatile barn reception space. Couples say “I do” beside the island-connected bridge, then move into the barn—outfitted with a bar, wraparound deck, fireplace and stage—for dinner and dancing under vaulted rafters. The venue is reserved exclusively for each wedding weekend, complete with freshly renovated bridal and groom suites, tables, chairs and even a vintage ’57 Chevy for photo ops. Active-duty military, teachers and first responders receive a courtesy discount.
