Wedding venue in North Garden, Virginia

About Albemarle CiderWorks

Albemarle CiderWorks is a cidery on the working Rural Ridge orchard in North Garden, Virginia, about ten minutes south of Charlottesville, directly off U.S. Route 29. The property has a tasting room, an outdoor patio, and an apple orchard, and the cidery operates under a Virginia Farm Winery License. Weddings are hosted on the property. The venue presents its vintage apple orchard as a setting for ceremonies and its wood-accented tasting room and Orchard Room as settings for celebrations, with the outdoor patio available for relaxed gatherings. Exclusive use of the space for private groups is arranged through the events team at events@albemarleciderworks.com. The cidery has also offered a microwedding format called Day of I Do's, in which each couple receives a short vow slot under a peach orchard arbor, a private reception tent for a small group, a professional photographer, and a mini wedding cake. Guests may stay for live music. A recently renovated guest house at the Rural Ridge property can be booked through the Crossroads Inn website. Guests may bring their own food, and the tasting room sells local cheeses, crackers and charcuterie a la carte. Outside alcohol is not permitted under the farm winery license. Groups of eight or more are asked to reserve in advance. The facilities are handicap accessible, and walks through the working orchard depend on the day and are not always available.
