Venue Features
The Scene:
Our 50-acres are set upon historic Brandywine Valley, and the renovated 1750 bank barn backs up to gorgeous foliage on the southern side of the property. The estate vineyard is west of the Manor House built in 1734. The side porch is the perfect location to watch the sun sink behind the vineyard while enjoying your favorite Grace Winery vintage.
Design:
The Manor House was originally a Quaker farm house from 1734, and when the Hemphill family took over the property, they added an addition in 1815. Over the years it has been renovated and re-renovated into what we have today: unique bedrooms with original fireplaces, a spacious restaurant-grade kitchen, and various leisure rooms. Additionally, we have cottage-style rooms created from outbuildings. Even the old ice house is now an office for our owner! Each of the rooms and cottages has a full bathroom and at least a queen sized bed. The bank barn built in 1750 has been recently renovated into our third floor event space and tasting room, second floor restrooms and conference room with a caterer-ready kitchen, and first floor winery. The first floor opens onto a large outdoor patio and an ampitheater used for wedding ceremonies and cocktail parties. 
Standout Venue Features:
Located in the 1734 and 1815 wings of our beautiful manor house and in the surrounding cottages, the Inn at Grace Winery offers fifteen distinct luxury accommodations. Each room is tastefully appointed, featuring queen beds and private ensuite baths. The Manor house offers central air- conditioning as well as individual heating controls for your comfort. The cottages each offer individually controlled heat and air-conditioning. Our guests enjoy amenities including TV, DVD players, alarm clocks with iPod docking, and free wireless internet access. All of our accommodations also include irons, ironing boards, hair dryers and cozy luxury linens. We also feature an environmentally friendly line of toiletries from Gilchrist and Soames.

With so much open space over our nearly 50 acres, we welcome families with children or pets in five of our most comfortable cottages. Pets are even welcomed with a welcome basket including a quilted sleeping pad, water bowl and towels to dry off.
