Roadmap to Engagements in Bluemont
So you’re ready to get engaged!? This is such a special time but we get it, it can be totally overwhelming. From the fancy blogs and pinterest ideas, to the extravagant decor and parties, to even the celebs setting the trend bar high with a private beach full of roses and a candle lit walkway (yeah, we’re looking at you Kravis!), it feels like over the top is the only way to go. But oh, do we have news for you!
While the glitz and the glam of the perfectly curated moments you find on the internet seem dreamy, the truth is, most don’t need all of these bells and whistles to find the excitement when they see their special someone getting down on one knee. Actually, that one knee and some thoughtfully put together words to tug at the heartstrings are often just what your significant other is looking to hear to say, “YES!”
Early Fall Proposal on the Patio
DIY IT
The Knot said it, and we’re serving it up. One of the top engagement trends this year is popping the question in an outdoor, instagrammable place. Nestled high in the Blue Ridge Mountains, the one thing we don’t have a shortage of in Bluemont, are epic views! If you’re looking for something low key but picturesque, book a reservation on our overlook patio at The 951 Tasting Room at Bluemont Vineyard or head up to Dirt Farm Brewing and station yourselves at a pair of adirondack chairs. Sip back and relax with one of the best views, overlooking the Loudoun Valley. When the timing feels right , you know what to do! No timeline, no pressure - just you, your sweetie and a great view as a backdrop.
Pro tip- ask your neighbors to snap a few pictures on your phone to remember the moments!

MAKE IT LAST
Let your love linger in Loudoun! Travel is back in action in a big way and The Cottages at Bluemont Vineyard are the perfect place to whisk your special someone away. Nestled on a mountainside and amidst the Blue Ridge Mountains, our cottages provide endless opportunities to immerse yourself in the countryside. Less than an hour's drive from Washington DC, this will have your partner thinking you’re spending time in Virginia Wine Country and not expecting the engagement unexpected. Arrange to have a bottle of wine or bubbles and fresh flowers from our farm for your arrival. Drift away into your stay and when the moment feels right, get down on one knee for an intimate ‘home away from home’ proposal. Bask in the glow of the “Yes” under a blanket of stars while you savor the journey to come.
The Stone Cottage at Bluemont Vineyard
Pro tip- The Sunrise from the Stone Cottage and Brewer’s Cottage is completely and utterly epic. Wake up with the sun, pour a cup of joe and pop the question on the porch with the scaping views of our vineyard and Loudoun Valley as your backdrop.
