Winterham Plantation Bed and Breakfast

Winterham Manor is a historic Italianate home in Amelia County, Virginia, built around 1855 by a cousin of Thomas Jefferson and listed on the National Register. Purchased in 1999 after decades of abandonment, the property underwent a full restoration before reopening in 2003 as a bed and breakfast, wedding venue, and special events destination. The grounds sweep down to a 15-acre lake, with 300 acres of nursery plantings rising on the hills beyond. Couples can choose from several ceremony sites on the property, including the Versailles Pavilion overlooking the lake, the Manor House's front porch and facade, the "Lovers' Tree," a 60' x 40' event tent with a central dance floor, or the Manor House itself for weddings of 75 guests or fewer. The Manor House and adjoining Garden Terrace suite can accommodate overnight guests, with a separate entrance for the groomsmen's suite and dressing areas for the bridal party on the second floor. A Honeymoon Cottage in a historic dependency offers a private porch overlooking the lake. Winterham Manor also houses Hadfield Fine Arts, a gallery of paintings and prints spanning different cultures and periods, giving guests something to browse between wedding events.
