  Snow Farm Vineyard

  190 W Shore Rd, South Hero, VT 05486, USA

  • 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. For weddings, bridal showers, and rehearsal dinners, couples can choose a ceremony atop Fox Hill among the grapevines or along the shores of Lake Champlain, with the surrounding farmland and lake views as a backdrop. 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.

The grounds provide a range of settings for ceremonies, cocktail hours, and receptions. A 4,000-square-foot outdoor patio features the Grain Bin Bar, and the property also includes a fire pit area, a stream-side willow tree, and the venue's original chapel building as an additional ceremony option. On-site facilities include a bridal suite with makeup stations and seating, a catering prep room with stainless steel surfaces and cooler, and modern handicap-accessible restrooms.

The Corrigan family has operated The Lake House since 1997, and the next generation is now continuing that tradition.

In 2011 the family opened the Vermont Wedding Barn, a do-it-yourself event venue seating up to 300 guests for weddings, proms, quinceañeras, birthday parties, anniversaries, and other celebrations. Couples choose their ceremony setting from options that include an open field or the property's own vineyard, both with views of the Adirondacks, and can decorate under a Pagoda-style redwood arbor or a rustic Adirondack-style arbor. The barn itself comes pre-lit with soft white string lighting and includes a contained bar area and a separate DJ or band space, along with round and rectangular tables and up to 250 complimentary white chairs. A signature feature of a Champlain Valley Alpacas wedding is the farm's alpaca herd, which guests can meet and photograph, including the venue's "Running of the Alpacas" moment. Wedding parties are given access to the property for four days — Thursday and Friday for setup and rehearsal, Saturday for the event, and Sunday for cleanup — and the bride and bridesmaids can stay overnight in the property's complimentary Poolside Cottage.

  • 1 Outdoor
  • 2 Barns
  • 1 Historic Space

  HayLoft In The Grove is a restored mid-1800s timber-framed barn set on nearly 100 acres outside East Aurora, New York. Once a working dairy farm — and later a horse training facility with a quarter-mile sulky racing track — the property was purchased in 2007 by Jeni and Jason Burford, who chose to preserve the deteriorating structure rather than demolish it. Amish craftsmen undertook an extensive restoration beginning in 2008, retaining original handmade wooden pegs, mortise-and-tenon joints, and stone foundation. The grounds include cornfields, forests, three ponds, and expansive gardens. For events, the property offers an outdoor ceremony area with comfortable seating for up to 200 guests, set beneath a wooden arbor with chiffon drapes and a brass chandelier against a cornfield backdrop. The Stables — a former horse facility converted in 2019 — serves as an indoor gathering space with antique pews from the 1920s, wooden beams, and crystal chandeliers, along with dedicated bride and groom suites and covered outdoor patios with string lighting. Wedding packages include day-of coordination, three planning sessions, and access to an on-site rentals boutique. Activities on offer include a hay wagon ride around the property, horseshoes, and cornhole.
