Nestled among our 227 acres of vines, and tucked into a lush grove of trees, the Chapel features checkerboard gray and white marble floors, leaded glass windows, and a hand-painted mural ceiling featuring "The Story of Virginia" by artist Graham Rust, internationally renowned for his murals and ceiling paintings.

The design of the Chapel is based on the eighteenth century English concept of the "Gothick": a rococo, playful revival of the medieval Gothic.

The interior detail of the pews, altar, altar rails, lectern, and chairs were all copied from Shobdon Chapel, an English chapel in Wales.

The long aisle is flanked by ornate wooden pews and surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows with beautiful views. The loft houses an 1805 Longman and Herron pipe organ and is the perfect place for a harpist, string quartet, or pianist to accompany a ceremony.

The Chapel was built to be interfaith and we support its use by hosting various religious ceremonies, concerts, baptisms, and Catholic masses.

Use of the Chapel is included in your rental fee of the Barn & Pavilion or Grand Hall and is subject to availability.

Up to 80 guests seated, 100 standing room | Pipe organ | Electric piano | Brick Terrace
