Planning an event in Purcellville?
Purcellville is western Loudoun’s main town, the gateway to a cluster of wineries, breweries and a distillery under the Blue Ridge. Company outings and client tastings here trade the conference room for mountain views and a farm setting.
Which venues should you look at?
Breaux Vineyards
A 400-plus acre estate with 104 acres of vines climbing Short Hill Mountain and terraces looking to the Blue Ridge. It hosts private events from small tastings to corporate gatherings of several hundred.
For photos: wide terraces and vineyard slopes for daylight and sunset groups.
Catoctin Creek Distilling Company
A craft distillery on West Main Street making Virginia rye whisky since 2009, with daily tours, a cocktail tasting room and solar-powered operations.
For photos: copper stills and a downtown tasting room; tight indoor light, great detail texture.
Franklin Park Arts Center
Western Loudoun’s cultural venue with an intimate theater, an art gallery and a sculpture garden inside Franklin Park. Both the theater and gallery can be rented.
For photos: stage lighting in the theater; gallery and sculpture garden for daylight portraits.
Sunset Hills Vineyard
A solar-powered winery on a former Amish farm with a restored Amish barn, sunset and mountain views and plenty of lawn. It books private events.

How do you plan the photos?
A good venue makes good pictures easier. If you’re comparing quotes, start with event photography rates and how many hours of coverage you really need. Then see the work: conference photography, corporate events and charity gala photography. Out in wine country, winery offsites in Loudoun and Fauquier covers the vineyard side.
