Nestled in the wooded surroundings of Iron Station, North Carolina—just about 30 minutes from Charlotte—Vesuvius Vineyards offers a distinctive event venue. The estate spreads across 700+ acres of private land, featuring a historic home, a covered bridge, creek-side paths, and several acres of muscadine vines.
While the property is styled as a vineyard, it is not currently producing wine. Instead, the vine-covered grounds serve as a scenic backdrop for weddings and other special occasions.
Vesuvius Vineyards accommodates a range of gatherings—from elegant weddings and intimate micro-celebrations to corporate events and fundraisers. Its design emphasizes versatility with rustic elegance: comfortable indoor suites (bridal and groom) and ample outdoor ceremony spaces.

in the last weekWe hosted our son’s wedding at **Vesuvius Vineyards** on **January 31, 2026**, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. In a rare and magical twist for the Charlotte area, it snowed all day, transforming the venue into something straight out of a storybook. The grounds—already stunning—were absolutely breathtaking under the blanket of snow.From start to finish, the owners, **Jay and Kristy**, went above and beyond in every possible way. With the unexpected weather, they could not have been more accommodating or caring. They did everything imaginable to ensure that our family and guests had a beautiful, stress-free day, and we felt completely supported the entire time. They were simply amazing.The historic house, built in the **1700s**, is incredibly charming and provided such a warm, inviting atmosphere—perfect for a winter wedding. Combined with the incredible staff, it truly felt like we were in the best hands possible.If you are looking for an exceptional venue for a special event, look no further than Vesuvius Vineyards. You won’t find a more beautiful setting or better people to work with. From our family, this venue earns **100 stars** without question.

2 months agoI had the pleasure of photographing a wedding at Vesuvius Vineyards and it quickly became one of my absolute favorite venues! It's so versatile with so many different options for your ceremony, as well as a great rain plan. This venue is so elegant and charming.

3 months agoMy daughter was married here on October 25, 2025 and I can’t say enough good things about this venue! From the day we went to tour it I knew we were in good hands. Jay and Kristy were wonderful to work with and thought of everything. It is such a beautiful property and we loved everything about it!

3 months agoIf I could give 10 stars I would. Jay and Kristy were the reason our wedding day was exceptional. Vesuvius Vineyards was the first and only venue we toured, we felt that every detail was thoroughly noted and that our wedding day would be amazing. Kristy being the day of coordinator allowed us to have a stress free planning process. She coordinated with every vendor, about every single detail. We did the Vesuvius decor package, DJ Jay was amazing, and their whole team made our day so special. They made sure the bride, groom, families and the guests were all taken care of and could enjoy the day. Vesuvius was picture perfect and super personable. Highly recommend!
