The Market at Grelen

"Love this European inspired cafe! The greenhouse is my favorite! We enjoyed the atmosphere, the trails, the orchard."

"This lovely garden center was a pretty place to visit while we were staying at the Willow Grove Inn. There were lots of people visiting that afternoon, as the Christmas season was upon us. There was an abundance of of Christmas trees for sale, along with poinsettias and a picture taking opportunity with Santa. The gift shop was simply beautiful all decked out in Christmas finery. I purchased some wonderful ribbons to decorate my wreaths and packages with and would have had a bite to eat there if we hadn't just had lunch. We had a nice chat with one of the employees and she helped me choose the ribbons and made suggestions on things to do in the area. I snapped a picture of the living "Love" sign on our way out, and that was my thought exactly!"

"Cool little diamond in the rough. Plenty of knick knack shopping and landscape items. Too many activities to list. Apple and peach picking when in season, ice cream and some coffee, beer and wine selection and pretty basic walking trails. Oh and the cafe had a simple but robust menu with options for kids and adults and somewhat eclectic options were also available . Seating was pretty much all outdoors so come prepared for whatever the weather ( hot or cold). And hard outdoor seats ( to be expected). Not super handicap accessible but not impossible. Recommend and would go back."

"What a beautiful place. I spent several hours here and enjoyed every bit of it. The drive out from RVA is easy for a day trip and beautiful on its own. The views around the property are gorgeous and the market itself has so many delightful little spots, I walked around it several loops before deciding where I ultimately wanted to sit. Lunch was delicious, and so was the flight of Virginia wines. Later in the afternoon I had a flight of homemade ice cream and some coffee, and enjoyed the cute and indulgent little shop full of fun things. I can imagine that weddings here are absolutely gorgeous, but I’d highly recommend this place for a get together or just a solo getaway like I had. The staff were all kind and attentive. Definitely will be going back!"

"The Market at Grelen is an incredible location for any wedding. I photographed a wedding here in July, and it was spectacular. From the lovely getting ready cottage (with separate bride and groom suites) to the orchard of peaches and apples (where I photographed the bride and groom portraits) and the gift shop that's surrounded by a plethora of beautiful plants, this is a great location to host your wedding and celebration!"
