Whether a rehearsal dinner, anniversary celebration, birthday or company party, we would love to be part of your special events! We are happy to accommodate private parties, fundraising events and business meetings of any size. Rental pricing is based on the date selected and the size of your event. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or for an estimate.

To book an event we require a 40% non-refundable deposit, a signed contract and a signed credit card authorization form for the $200 security deposit. The remainder of the facility rental fee and staffing charges are due 14 days before your event. Wines purchased for the event will be invoiced at the conclusion of the event and payment is due at the event’s end. You will be responsible for clean-up; otherwise, the security deposit will be forfeited.

James River Cellars does NOT have catering on site. You are welcome to bring in any licensed caterer of your choice. Beer may be brought onto the premises with the appropriate ABC license obtained by you or your caterer; however, NO liquor or outside wines are permitted.


While facility rentals entitle you to exclusive use of the areas contractually booked for your event, the winery will remain open during regular business hours. The winery can be reserved exclusively for an event after 7 pm.
