Frequently asked
questions.

Common questions about visiting the winery, the estate, and planning a wedding or celebration at Tranquility Farm.

01

Visiting the Winery

For anyone coming to taste, purchase, or experience the estate wines — Draksha and Otium.

What wines are available for tasting?

Both our estate labels are poured at tastings — Otium artisanal wines, including whites, reds, field blend and the Grüner Veltliner the farm is best known for, and Draksha sparkling wines (Sparkling Grüner Veltliner, Blanc de Blancs, and Extra Brut Rosé). Availability varies by season and current release. Browse the current collection →

What tasting spaces are available?

Four distinct spaces, each with its own character. The Tasting Room is the immersive experience — vineyard below the glass, a seven-foot circular barrel door into the production facility, and picture windows into the barrel aging room. The Belvedere is a whitewashed timber vaulted room with floor-to-ceiling views and a suspended wood-burning fireplace at its centre. The Wine Store offers structured flights and light bites at your own pace. The Terrace is open air with fire pits — no reservation required for groups under 10. Reserve through Tock and select your preferred space when booking.

Do I need a reservation to visit the tasting room?

Yes, tastings are by reservation only. Reserve through Tock, select your preferred space, and arrive when the valley is at its best. Book here →

Can I purchase wine on-site?

Yes. Bottles are available for purchase at the tasting room and through our online shop. Shipping is available where permitted by state law.

Do you offer private tastings or group events at the winery?

Yes. Individual tastings are reserved through Tock. For larger groups or special wine events, submit an inquiry here →

Is there a way to ensure I don't miss a new release?

Yes — the wine club. Production from both Draksha and Otium is limited by design, and members are first to access new releases before they reach the tasting room or shop. The club has three membership levels — Cellar, Estate, and Barrel — each a different depth of relationship with the wine. Membership also includes complimentary tastings and invitations to estate events.

Is the winery open to the public on wedding weekends?

Yes. The winery operates on its own schedule regardless of weddings or events on the estate. Winery guests and wedding guests have separate venues and separate access — the two never overlap.

Where is the winery located?

The tasting room is located at 18050 Tranquility Rd, Purcellville, VA 20132 →. Parking is available on site.

02

The Estate & Venue

General questions about the property — useful for any visitor.

What type of venue is Tranquility Farm?

A 200-year-old farm estate in Purcellville, Virginia — restored and in active daily use today as an event venue and working winery. Two reception venues and seven ceremony settings, overnight accommodations on the grounds, and an estate winery producing two labels, Draksha and Otium. An hour from Washington, D.C., thirty minutes from Dulles.

What are the photography settings on the estate?

The estate has a range of natural settings — open fields, vineyard rows, Goose Creek frontage, the manor and its grounds. The Spring House is one of the smallest original structures on the property — moss-covered stone walls, easy to overlook, consistently a favourite.

Does Tranquility Farm have parking?

Yes. Parking is available at both the Bank Barn and the Glass Manor. For larger celebrations we recommend valet service or golf carts — the property is a working farm with gravel roads and some elevation change, and both make the arrival experience easier for guests.

Are the venues and ceremony spaces accessible?

Yes. Both the Bank Barn and Glass Manor have step-free entry and can be reached by vehicle directly to the front door. Restrooms are available at both venues.

Outdoor ceremony sites are reached via the estate's interior gravel roads. All sites are level, though access involves some uphill elevation change from the main venues. Guests with specific accessibility requirements are encouraged to inquire directly — we'll connect you with our preferred valet and golf cart providers so you can arrange what works best for your group.

Can I bring my pet?

Well-behaved pets are welcome on the estate and at the winery — leashed at all times. The estate is a working farm with animals on the grounds and active operations across the property. Pets must remain under their owner's control throughout the visit, as much for their safety as for the comfort of other guests. Service animals are always welcome.

Questions for couples planning a wedding or private event at Tranquility Farm.

Weddings & Events

For couples planning a wedding or private celebration at Tranquility Farm.

Does Tranquility Farm offer wedding packages?

Yes. Packages range from a Micro Wedding for up to 50 guests through to a full 48-hour Estate Weekend — welcome event, rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, and farewell brunch without leaving the grounds. Single day and one-night options sit in between.

For groups looking to extend beyond a weekend — multi-day gatherings, family retreats, or a resort-style stay — reach out directly to discuss what's possible. Full package details are on the Weddings page →

Will another wedding or event be happening at the same time as ours?

Your contracted spaces are yours alone for the duration of your rental period. No other wedding or event shares your venues, your grounds, or your moment. The estate winery operates on its own schedule independently — but everything within your contract is entirely private.

How many guests can you accommodate for the reception?

The Historic Bank Barn seats up to 125 guests. Wide plank wood floors, warm aged timber, and exceptional picture windows overlooking the vineyard give the space its character. Climate-controlled throughout — uncommon in a barn of this age.

The Glass Manor seats up to 300 guests. Floor-to-ceiling glass on all sides. The silo anchors the space while wraparound patios edged by fieldstone walls open the venue to the landscape — guests move freely between inside and out. Works equally well as a standing reception or a seated dinner.

Can I have my ceremony outdoors?

Yes. The estate has seven ceremony settings — Hilltop, Silo Lounge, Willow Tree, Wisteria Terrace, Flagstone Courtyard, and Stone Steps & Pine Terrace.

For inclement weather, couples using the Bank Barn have the Glass Manor as their indoor alternative, and vice versa. The lower level of the Bank Barn — historic stone walls and four church pews — also offers an intimate indoor ceremony option with a quiet chapel quality.

Weather contingency plans are coordinated by your planner — the estate team is always available to share our knowledge of the spaces and help think through the best option for your day.

What event spaces are available for rehearsal dinner and brunch?

The estate has three primary spaces for rehearsal dinners, welcome events, and farewell brunches.

The Wisteria Terrace and Flagstone Courtyard — both at the Manor House — each accommodate 25 to 100 guests, with the Manor House interior available as an indoor option for either.

The Silo Lounge accommodates over 300 guests — well suited to larger welcome events and farewell gatherings.

All spaces are part of your wedding package — your planner and the estate team will help match the right space to each moment of your celebration.

Do you have an area for the wedding party to get ready?

Yes. Each venue has its own dedicated space for the wedding party to prepare.

The Bank Barn includes the Loft — a private space one flight above the main gathering area, included with all packages.

The Glass Manor has the Cow Parlor — a fully appointed space with seating, adjacent to the Glass Manor restrooms, included with all packages.

For weekend packages, the Manor House and Vineyard Cottage provide additional getting ready space across the property.

Do you require a wedding planner?

A professional day-of coordinator is required for all weddings at the estate. The level of planning support beyond that — partial or full service — is entirely your choice. Your coordinator must attend a walkthrough with the estate team 30 days prior to the wedding. We maintain a preferred vendor list and are happy to share recommendations when you inquire.

Do you have tables and chairs?

Yes, furniture is provided at both venues as part of your package.

The Bank Barn includes seven handcrafted farm tables and 125 chairs — a generational mix of wooden chairs that give the space its lived-in character.

The Glass Manor is furnished with round and rectangular tables and seating for the full capacity of the space. White resin chairs are standard — the clean profile works well against the Manor's views and fieldstone.

Can I have real candles?

Real candles are not permitted in the Bank Barn — LED votives are a practical alternative that work well in the warm wood interior. Real candles are permitted in the Glass Manor with proper supervision throughout.

Can I have a sparkler exit?

Yes. Sparkler exits are permitted outdoors with proper supervision. All sparkler use is outdoors only.

Can I bring my pet to the wedding?

Well-behaved pets belonging to the couple or immediate family are welcome for the celebration. The estate is a working farm with animals on the grounds, so pets must remain leashed at all times and are the responsibility of their owner throughout — as much for their safety as for courtesy to other guests. Service animals are always welcome.

Catering & Beverages

Everything about food, drink, and the culinary experience at your celebration.

May I use my own caterer?

All culinary services at Tranquility Farm are provided exclusively by Founding Farmers Co. Catering & Events. For weddings with specific cultural or religious culinary traditions that require outside expertise, we accommodate outside caterers — an additional fee applies and proof of licensing and liability insurance is required. Reach out directly to discuss →

May I bring my own alcohol?

All alcohol service is managed through Founding Farmers Co. Catering & Events under their banquet license. Wine served at all celebrations will be estate wine — from two estate-owned vineyards in Loudoun County, poured at Tranquility Farm. Quantities are estimated at one case per 40 guests, with a minimum of four cases.

What does estate wine cost for our celebration?

Cases are priced between $300 and $600 depending on the wine selected. The estate team will help estimate quantities and select wines that suit your celebration and budget.

Is there a discount on estate wines for our wedding?

Yes. A 15% discount applies to all estate wine purchased for your celebration. Contracted couples also receive Estate Club membership — early access to new releases, a complimentary glass on every winery visit, and invitations to member events. We also host gatherings designed specifically for couples who have celebrated here — the relationship with the estate doesn't end with the wedding day.

05

Accommodations

Where are the nearest hotels or other lodging?

Purcellville does not have hotels within town limits. For guests staying off-site, hotel accommodations are available approximately 20 minutes away in Leesburg, Ashburn, and Middleburg. Short-term rentals are also available in the area — including from neighbors along Tranquility Road itself. Hillandale Farmhouse, a circa 1774 property nearby, is one worth knowing about.

Visit Loudoun offers a complimentary lodging assistance service for the region — visitloudoun.org is a good starting point for guests coordinating their stay.

Pricing & Policies

The practical details — deposits, payment, discounts, and how to get started.

Are there additional fees beyond the package price?

A refundable $2,500 security deposit is required for all packages. A cleaning fee may apply to single-day packages depending on the amenities selected. There are no additional taxes or fees beyond these.

What is the cancellation and refund policy?

If a cancellation occurs, the booking deposit is refunded only if the estate is able to rebook the date. We recommend wedding insurance to protect your investment in the event of unforeseen circumstances.

What is the payment schedule?

The booking deposit — half the total package fee — is due at signing to reserve your date. The remaining balance is due 30 days prior to your celebration. The $2,500 security deposit is collected separately and returned following a post-event walkthrough.

Does pricing vary by season or day of week?

Yes. Weekend dates in peak season carry standard pricing. Weekday celebrations and winter dates are significantly lower — a meaningful difference for couples with flexibility on timing. Reach out directly for current pricing →
