Its foundation and framework have stood largely unchanged for more than 185 years, with the 1828 Main House reflecting Federal Style architecture and the 1848 National Hall once serving as a gathering space for dances, concerts, parties, debates, and political meetings.

- 1 Bar
- 1 Outdoor
- 3 Total Spaces
Shelburne Vineyard planted its first grapes in 1998 on the east shore of Lake Champlain, in what locals call Vermont's "banana belt" — a near sea-level stretch of the Champlain Valley warm enough to sustain cold-climate winemaking. The working vineyard's grounds, with sweeping views toward the water and vines running down to a great lawn, set the backdrop for weddings, rehearsal dinners, showers, and other private gatherings. Guests are typically hosted in the Tasting Room, a 806-square-foot space centered on an elegant cherry tasting bar built from wood grown on nearby Shelburne Farms, with French doors opening onto flagstone patios and vineyard views. A separate loft overlooks the tasting room and offers a smaller, more intimate space for seated dinners or standing receptions. From late spring through early fall, the outdoor patio and lawn extend the celebration further into the vines, with tented capacity available through Vermont Tent Company. Shelburne Vineyard's events team works directly with hosts to plan weddings, corporate events, fundraisers, and holiday parties, and can accommodate catered dining throughout the property.

McCullough to host President Benjamin Harrison's 1891 visit for the Bennington Monument dedication. Direct descendants lived in the house for a century until 1965, when it passed to the Park-McCullough House Association, and it is now recognized as one of New England's finest and best-preserved Victorian mansions. The property offers four main event spaces for weddings and private events: the historic mansion itself, formal manicured gardens, a wrap-around veranda for cocktails and touring, and a newly renovated Carriage Barn with a full catering kitchen, restrooms, a hardwood dance floor, heat, air conditioning, and wi-fi. The mansion and grounds host weddings, rehearsal dinners, corporate retreats, nonprofit fundraisers, and celebrations of all kinds throughout the year.

Snow Farm Vineyard

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.
