Hidden Treasure: Cunningham Creek Winery

Tucked away in the rolling hills of a hundred-year-old family farm, Cunningham Creek Winery is a charming new wedding venue in Central Virginia.

Before it was Cunningham Creek Winery at Middle Fork Farm, it was the Bragg Farm for over a hundred years. Instead of grapes, there were fields of cows and hay. In 2011, Bruce and Debby “retired” and joined with long-time friends Rick and Sara to give the beautiful rolling land new life.

After a year and a half of preparation, they planted the first grape vines in 2013. Today, Cunningham Creek Winery at Middle Fork Farm is once again a vibrant working farm. You’ll find eleven acres of Chardonnay, Viognier, Pinot Gris, Cab Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot grapes as well as strawberries, pumpkin fields, more than 30 Kiko-Boer goats, and two very busy and happy families.

Cunningham Creek is a friendly gathering place where the owners welcome you like family. You can even bike there! It’s located right on U.S. Bicycle Route 76 (the TransAmerica Trail), just 20 minutes from Jefferson’s Monticello.

The on-site farm store features local and seasonal products to pair with Cunningham Creek’s excellent wines like the Herd Dog Red (Cabernet Franc) and Cycle 76 (Pinot Gris).

A beautiful newly-built tasting room, surrounded by lovely vineyard views, can welcome up to 50 guests for a seated reception or 80 guests for cocktails. Lawn space nearby can accommodate a tent for up to 125 guests. The property also features a cozy one-bedroom cottage available as a bridal or honeymoon suite.

Be the first of your friends to choose Cunningham Creek Winery for an unforgettable Virginia wine country wedding.
