The Boar’s Head
Settled along the Piedmont countryside, the elegant rustic style of The Boar’s Head brings together gorgeous landscapes and Southern charm in a full-service resort. For small, outdoor affairs, the Hearth-Arbor Patio features a wood burning fireplace and historic civil war beams, while larger events seek out the Pavillion”a 9,000 square foot event space with an outdoor cobblestone courtyard and luxurious grand ballroom.
The Clifton Inn

The 100 acres of gorgeous lawn that the The Clifton Inn sits upon was originally given to Thomas Jefferson’s daughter upon her marriage, adding a bit of nostalgic romance and grandeur to this Southern stately manor. The Clifton Inn has breathtaking mountain views and a private lake.

I love your ideas for wedding venues! I’d never thought much about getting married at a winery. Ever since I was a little girl I had wanted to get married on a beach by the ocean (I was most recently thinking of carmel wedding venues in California). But after reading this post I just realized how many wineries there are in California. Perfect. Thanks!
