Don't miss you chance to have your stress free microwedding or vow renewal this June 6th, during our Day of I Do's!

Join us for a one-of-a-kind day of intimate micro-weddings and vow renewals, designed for couples who want something more than a courthouse ceremony, but beautifully simple compared to a full-scale wedding.

Arrive, exchange vows beneath a secluded arbor beside our peach orchard, then spend the afternoon celebrating with your closest people at the cidery. It’s romantic, relaxed, and thoughtfully curated so you can focus on what matters most.

Each package includes:
• A private 30-minute ceremony under the arbor, officiated by Kate Adamson
• 10 professionally captured moments by Amy Mitchell Photography
• A mini cake for the couple
• A build-your-own bouquet station
• A personal reception tent on the lawn for you and up to 10 guests, yours to enjoy all afternoon

Plus, we'll have live music by The Wavelength band - VA throughout the afternoon!

Investment: $750 per couple

Limited spots available to keep the day intimate, so reserve your spot or send to a couple looking to celebrate their marriage!

Proof that you don't have to be perfect: The Charlotte Crab-Apple (Malus coronaria ‘Charlottae’). The apples from this tree are uniquely intense in flavor: bitter and rough, a true “spitter”. It's one of the few we've never thought about using for cider.

But, wow, does it have the most stunning blossoms of any tree we have in the orchard! These blooms arrive after all the others have passed, providing an island of blooms amongst the leaves. Our pollinators are thrilled to have it!
