While our Winery property sits on 5 scenic acres, our grapes are not grown on-site. Chaddsford works with a number of local growers throughout Pennsylvania and New York, many of which have supplied grapes to Winery for the last four decades. These growers helped make it possible for our Winery to establish roots in Southeastern Pennsylvania – prior to wine grapes really being grown here. Today, they still grow a good portion of our hybrid and sweet wine grapes.

No, the rental fee only covers exclusive access to the event space selected, along with tables, chairs, etc. All food and beverage selections are a la carte. Wine, beer and non-alcoholic beverages are priced by the bottle or case. To view our current offerings, please click here.
We’re happy to include a guided wine tasting as part of your experience, however, we do not recommend this for events such as bridal showers, where other activities typically take center-stage. Guided wine tastings are charged separately with cost contingent upon wines selected. Self-guided tasting (where a suggested combination of bottles are purchased) are typically easier for larger groups so they can sample at their leisure.
Chaddsford staff will equip your space with the beverages and glassware ordered for the event and then periodically check in on the group to ensure your needs are met. If you prefer to have a dedicated bartender for the duration of the event, one can be provided at an additional charge.
The rental fee for space is taxed; and all beverages are subject to a 6% sales tax. Gratuity is not included, nor billed. It’s at the discretion of the group!
Deposits will be refunded at 100% if requested 48 hours after booking. Deposits will be refunded at 50% if requested 30 days before the event. We will not issue refunds on any event canceled with less than 30 days notice.
Our event agreement includes a “force majeure” clause that protects you (and us!) from unforeseen events such as natural disasters or COVID. However, it is important to note that all events are rain or shine, and inclement weather does not typically qualify as an unforeseen event.
We currently offer two Micro Wedding packages that accommodate groups of up to 40 guests. Learn more by clicking here.
We do offer options for partial or full facility rentals, as well as after-hour bookings. Send a detailed email to our event coordinator at sofia.mactough@chaddsford.com and let us know what you are looking for.
