Wedding DJ at Round Peak Vineyards in Mount Airy, NC

The Space

Round Peak Vineyards sits at 1,300 feet elevation in the Yadkin Valley, surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains foothills. The 12-acre vineyard, planted in 2000, sprawls with 8 French and Italian varietals, and the current owners, Ken Gulaian and Kari Heerdt (who took over in 2008), have built event spaces that feel integrated into the vineyard rather than imposed on it. The Vineyard Gazebo for ceremonies sits in the heart of the vines; the covered back patio handles receptions with mountain views; and the newly renovated Crushpad event space offers an alternative indoor venue.

The landscape does the heavy lifting here: views of the Blue Ridge, the weight of established grapevines, and the 32-acre foothills property create atmosphere without requiring extensive decoration. The Winery House provides bridal party staging, and the Crush Pad’s recent renovation gives you a modern reception alternative to the more rustic patio experience.

Capacity & Layout

Round Peak accommodates up to 300 guests, with the flexibility to split between multiple spaces or concentrate everything in one area. The Vineyard Gazebo is the ceremony anchor, positioned in the vineyard with mountain backdrop. The large covered back patio handles receptions and offers shade without entirely blocking the views and open-air feel. The newly renovated Crushpad adds indoor option for weather protection or a distinct second venue for larger celebrations.

Two rental cabins with four bedrooms, full kitchens, and Wi-Fi are available for guests wanting to stay overnight, turning your wedding into a destination weekend. Parking is available, and the disc golf course (18 holes spread across the property) gives your guests an activity between ceremony and reception or for the day after. The site is fully pet-friendly, with a fenced-in play area for dogs.

Amenities

The venue serves wines and ciders produced on-site, plus Skull Camp craft beers from a sister brewery in nearby Elkin. The covered back patio provides weather shelter without the feel of an enclosed tent, and the Crush Pad offers indoor climate control for receptions during hot summers or cool springs. Round Peak produces estate-bottled wines only from its own vineyards, and that commitment to consistency flows into the event experience.

Bar service, tables, and chairs are included. The covered patio and Crush Pad both work well with DJ audio: the patio’s open structure and overhead cover let sound distribute naturally, while the Crush Pad’s interior acoustics benefit from the building’s solid construction and volume. The two rental cabins on property add a unique amenity, giving your out-of-town guests a destination weekend atmosphere and potentially allowing your DJ extended setup time if you’re planning a rehearsal dinner or day-after brunch.

Location & Getting There

Mount Airy is in Surry County in the North Carolina foothills, about 90 minutes north of Charlotte and 2 hours from the Triad (Raleigh-Durham-Greensboro). The address puts you near the town famous for pottery and as the inspiration for the fictional town in a classic television series, so the region has a tourism infrastructure and rural character that appeals to destination wedding couples. The elevation (1,300 feet) means cooler temperatures and mountain scenery year-round.

The Vineyard Gazebo ceremony site delivers natural audio acoustics from its open structure and the surrounding vines, which absorb midrange sound cleanly. The covered patio’s open sides mean your DJ audio projects without overwhelming; the Crush Pad’s interior allows you to run a more controlled, high-fidelity audio environment. The size and layout of the property give you options for speaker placement whether you’re in one zone or spreading equipment across ceremony, cocktail, and reception areas.
