This was really exciting news to receive!

Whether it’s a wedding, a wine tasting, or overnight accommodation, the reason why we initially took this leap was to create a space for families and friends to gather.

Dating back to 1906 when the farmhouse was built, this property was always a place that served as a home base, and the old wine bottles in the woods prove that it has always been a good place to grab a drink too.

Weddings allow us to carry on this legacy of hosting. We love being a place for family and friends to be with each other and we love being a place that couples can celebrate one of life’s most special milestones.

Cheers to more memories and happy days on the knoll!

Thank you @lynchburgliving for this wonderful award
