If you’ve ever dreamed of a wedding surrounded by rolling vineyards, golden hour lighting, and a glass of wine in hand—you’re not alone. But touring potential winery venues on your own can be time-consuming, overwhelming, and let’s be honest… expensive. That’s where Grapevine Vows steps in.
Launching this July, Grapevine Vows introduces a first-of-its-kind experience: curated vineyard wedding tours designed specifically for engaged couples. These exclusive outings not only simplify your planning process—they help you save money, make meaningful connections, and start checking major boxes off your wedding to-do list in a single day.
🍇 Why These Tours Are Different
Unlike traditional wine tours or wedding expos, Grapevine Vows tours are crafted for couples seriously considering a winery wedding. Each tour includes a visit to 2–3 of Northern Virginia’s most beautiful vineyard venues that meet key criteria: ceremony and reception capacity for 50+ guests, romantic ambiance, and excellent reputations for weddings and hospitality.
You’ll not only see the spaces—you’ll experience them as a potential guest would. From the stunning views to the tasting rooms and private event spaces, you’ll walk away knowing which venue speaks to your vision.
✨ Why it’s worth the ticket: Save hours (or days!) of venue hunting. No back-and-forth emails, no confusing price lists. Just real-life walkthroughs with access to the decision-makers.
🥂 What’s Included
Each tour is an all-inclusive experience, packed with perks that go far beyond your average planning session:
- Tastings at every venue – Sip and savor the wines that could be served at your wedding.
- Delicious lunch – Fuel your planning day with a catered lunch enjoyed alongside other engaged couples.
- Guided transportation – No driving or navigating—just sit back and relax on our luxury shuttle.
- Exclusive access to partner vendors – Meet florists, photographers, and other local experts along the way.
- Planning tools and checklists – Designed by wedding planners to help you stay organized and on budget.
- Signature Gift Bag – Includes curated goodies plus our Sip, Save & Say I Do booklet.
💸 Why it’s worth the ticket: Every couple receives Sip, Save & Say I Do – A Recession-Proof Guide to Planning Your Winery Wedding, a 30+ page downloadable guide filled with budget hacks, planning checklists, and vendor insights you won’t find anywhere else.
💡 Networking with Experts—Without the Pressure
One of the most valuable aspects of the tour is the access to trusted professionals. You’ll meet venue coordinators, preferred vendors, and possibly even winemakers who can provide insight into what it’s really like to host your big day at their location.
It’s not a sales pitch—it’s a conversation. You’ll leave with direct contacts, special perks, and insider knowledge that couples typically only get after booking.
🧠 Why it’s worth the ticket: Build relationships with vendors you’ll actually want to hire—and skip the stress of blindly Googling.
