THE GROUNDS on this 85-acre farm are perfect for an outdoor ceremony, some friendly competition with one of many yard games, a stroll through the vines, or a relaxing sit by one of the movable fire pits. You and your guests will have ample space among these rolling pastures for al fresco dining and year-round lounging. In addition, the barn features five glass doors that open to over 5,000 square feet of covered patio and pavilion where you can easily enjoy the open-air freshness of the outdoors.
