OUR SIGNATURE EVENT VENUE

The Granary

Our classic stone Veranda offers the feel of

Tuscany or Provence in the heart of Virginia.

An ideal place for savoring the sunset as it sinks

behind the Blue Ridge Mountains, many opt

to enjoy a cocktail hour or reception on the

Veranda. The weather-protected Veranda, which

is fully enclosed during winter months, is a great

place to entertain year-round. This 1,800 sq.

ft. space is complete with residential outdoor

furniture, two bars, candlelit lanterns, space

heaters in the winter, available sound system, sun

shades and overhead fans.

GATHER HERE

Our winery Tasting Room offers a welcoming

indoor spot with incredible views for guests to relax.

The Tasting Room features a large bar crafted from

a 400-year-old Cypress tree. A perfect space for

hosting an informal gathering, the Tasting Room is

our primary space for dining at the Vintner’s Table

or indulging in a family-style meal after a private

cooking class.

The Tasting Room is also a wonderful flex/

overflow space for an additional bar if your

primary activities are in The Granary or on The

Veranda.

Amenities

Q: Is there a food and beverage minimum?

• Yes, each private event space has its own food & beverage minimum spend that depends on type of event and day of week. The minimums start at $1,500.

Q: Is there a venue fee and what does that include?

• Our Private Event Fee is determined by type of event and day of the week. This fee covers a 2.5 or 3 hour reservation, tables, chairs, linens, complete table top rentals, as well set up and break down of your event (see amenities page in our brochure). Pippin Hill is not responsible for setup of any decor items brought in.

Q: Do you allow decorations?

• Yes! We welcome decorations, such as flowers, menus, favors etc. We do not allow anything to be applied to the walls or building that will cause damage. We provide votive candles, but if you choose to bring additional candles, we require that they are in containers or on a stand to prevent damage to our surfaces and linens.

Q: May we bring in an outside caterer?

• With the exception of cake, we do not allow outside food. Pippin Hill’s Artisan Catering must provide all of your food & beverage items. We would be happy to cut and serve your cake.

FAQ

2 9

Q: Can guests order food or wine off of the Tasting Room menu?

• No. Our Tasting Room can only accommodate smaller groups. Our private event catering menu was designed with larger groups in mind. Due to liquor license restrictions, wine cannot be purchased in our Tasting Room and brought into an event.

Q: Does the Administrative Fee cover gratuity?

• A 20% Administrative Fee is added for equipment and operating fixed costs, insurance and to defer overhead costs. No part of this administrative fee is provided to wait staff or service employees, as those are included in the overall pricing. Tip is not included or expected, but certainly appreciated!

Q: Is the bar package charged per person?

• Yes. All adult guests over 21 years old are charged the selected bar package at an hourly rate. Children, expectant mothers and guests under 21 are charged the non-alcoholic package rate of $10.00 per person.

Q: Can we offer a cash bar or a bar based on consumption?

• No. The per-person, per-hour bar package is the only package we offer. This guarantees efficient and seamless service.

Q: Does the bar package include non-alcoholic drinks?

• Yes. Bar packages include soft drinks and other non-alcoholic bar standards (club soda, tonic water & juice).
