  • Spaces for 200 Guests

  Snow Farm Vineyard & Winery sits on an island in Lake Champlain in South Hero, Vermont, where the lake's micro-climate mirrors growing conditions found in Burgundy, France. Founded by the Lane family in the mid-1990s to keep their retired dairy farm in agricultural use, it became Vermont's first commercial vineyard, with plantings established in 1997. The estate now spans more than 100 preserved acres and includes a tasting room, a distillery producing gin, grappa, and fruit liqueurs, and a small-batch winery known for cool-climate wines like Seyval Blanc, Riesling, and its signature Vidal Blanc Ice Wine.

Snow Farm provides a tent for receptions of up to 200 guests, along with tables, chairs, and bar service, and offers on-site bed and breakfast lodging for guests staying the weekend. As a small, family-run operation, the team works closely with each couple to plan the day personally rather than following a set formula. Beyond weddings, Snow Farm hosts a Summer Concert Series, the Music in the Vineyard series, and seasonal gatherings like its Spirit Festival and Harvest Festival, drawing visitors to the vineyard throughout the year.

  Windham Hill Inn is a historic country inn set on 160 acres in the mountains of West Townshend, Vermont. What began as the Lawrence Farm in the early 1800s became a bed and breakfast in 1982 and, under new ownership in 1993, grew into a property whose restaurant was counted among New England's best regarded. A lightning strike in 2021 damaged the inn's main house; new owners took over in 2022, and the property's barn — now home to eight individually designed guest rooms including the North Loft, Meadowlook, and Taft — reopened in 2023, while restoration of the main house continues. The inn welcomes bridal showers, birthday parties, and weddings across its grounds, with two dedicated event spaces: a 1,000-square-foot conference room that opens onto the property's lawns and gardens, suited to larger gatherings, and The Cottage, a more private, all-inclusive space for smaller celebrations. Guests are hosted by innkeepers Jason, Jonathan, and Mark, whose stated mission is to preserve the grace, quiet, and authenticity of Vermont hospitality while restoring the historic property for future generations.
