A Legacy Of Hosting, Reimagined
Welcome to La Fattoria, a historic farmstead nestled in the heart of Virginia, where gatherings have been a cherished family tradition for generations. What began as a place for homegrown celebrations is now evolving into a retreat for immersive rural experiences, seasonal events, and regenerative hospitality—rooted in heritage, heart, and the rhythms of the land.
​
At La Fattoria, we invite guests to slow down and savor the moment. Whether you're planning a wedding, a corporate retreat, or a weekend escape, our expansive farm offers a setting that’s both timeless and thoughtfully curated. From the golden glow of sunset over the fields to the warmth of a harvest table, every detail is designed to foster connection and celebration.
Our Story
La Fattoria LLC was founded by Michelle Alexander, whose vision blends environmental stewardship and traditional homesteading with strategic business development to create a venue rooted in purpose, peace and beauty.
​
With Jan Kenney as our resident homesteader and lead event designer, every space and detail reflects a thoughtful balance of rustic elegance and artisan charm.
Drawing from the D'Amore family heritage and generations of experience in the agriculture and food service industry, our approach to hospitality is grounded in soulful cooking, seasonal abundance, and a belief that meaningful gatherings begin at the table.
​
Today, La Fattoria is a boutique venue for those who crave authenticity, beauty, and purpose in their events. We’re expanding our infrastructure to host larger celebrations, developing in-house artisan products for gifts and favors, and offering custom décor through our design studio to help bring your vision to life. Whether you're here for a moment or a milestone, we’re honored to welcome you into our story—and help you create one of your own.
