OVERVIEW

Chester County’s Brandywine Valley provides a magnificent countryside setting, along with all-important convenience. For meeting and events, the region offers a variety of options. Brandywine Valley also is an exceptional wedding destination, and guests are delighted in exploring the countryside before and after the big day.

WHAT'S NEW

Along the Chester County countryside is a network of wineries, breweries, and distilleries. Many host events and add a unique dimension to gatherings. Chester County Cheers is a great resource to explore the beverage landscape of the Brandywine Valley.

Acadian Wine Company is a new addition to the vineyard landscape in Chester County’s Brandywine Valley and offers a charming event location for up to 300 guests in West Grove. The space is a

hybrid of indoor and outdoor facilities, including a tasting room, deck, wine production cellar, patio and various lawns and meadows throughout the property.

Wayvine Winery & Vineyard now holds special events on their farm and in their tasting room in Nottingham. A seasonal tent with a capacity of up to 100 and flexible catering options including food trucks are highlights of this expansive vineyard. A selection of 50 local beers is available in the tasting room, as well.

Finally, Victory Brewing Company's Kennett Square Taproom, one of Chester County's hometown breweries, officially reopened the first week of November with a fresh new look. The brewery, which celebrated seven years in the community this past April, had closed in January 2021 following significant damage from a fire. They have since rebuilt the space with updated interiors.

New event facilities in Chester County include Cross Gables Estate and Platform 1 at Columbia Station. Cross Gables is a European inspired boutique wedding and special event venue in Exton. This 19th century historic space is ideal for any special occasion. Platform 1 is a charming event space for up to 175 guests.

Nearby, Paloma’s Restaurant in Phoenixville is a sister property to Platform 1 and the two venues can often work together to host joint events and functions. Wayvine Winery & Vineyard in Nottingham, PA; photo courtesy: Chester County CVB
