Wolftrap Farm

Wolf Trap Farm is a 600-acre working farm in Gordonsville, Virginia, in the foothills of the Southwest Mountains near Charlottesville. Portions of the property trace back to James Madison, who once owned the land and named it Black Meadow; the Cuthrell family purchased the farm in 2003, restored the Manor House, Pond House, and barns, and opened it to guests in 2004. The farm's two barn pavilions host wedding receptions with a rustic, indoor-outdoor feel. The Cox Mill Pavilion, converted from a former equipment and hay barn in 2014, overlooks the horse paddocks, while the Black Meadow Pavilion, added in 2018, sits atop a ridge with views of the Southwest Mountains. Both feature oak plank walls, farm tables, a dance floor, and a caterer's warming kitchen, and each pairs with its own ceremony site. In 2023, the farm added the Love Pond site, a tented reception space on a hill above its lower pond, with a ceremony area at the water's edge. Wedding parties and their guests can stay on-site in the Manor House, several cottages, the Barn Apartment, and glamping tents, accommodating close to 60 guests plus additional glampers. Between events, the farm's ponds, game barn, woodland trails, and pastures of horses and cattle give guests of all ages things to do.
