Situated near the 1607 settlement of Jamestown Island and minutes from Colonial Williamsburg's Historic Area, Wedmore Place offers comfort, relaxation, old-fashioned courtesy, good food and good wines.
The 300 acre farm where Wedmore Place stands today was acquired in 1983 as a virtually abandoned parcel by Patrick and Peggy Duffeler. They named it Wessex Hundred; “Wessex”, meaning Saxons of the West, to reflect their combined cultural heritage, “Hundred” the traditional identification of early settlements for a tract of land that could provide for one hundred residents.
Imagine arriving at an old European estate and settling in for a comfortable stay. Begin with a glass of our house methode champenoise imported from France on the pool-side terrace. Enjoy a glass of Port in the library designed to create the atmosphere of a British club. Go for a walk in the park around Wedmore Place, stop in at the Williamsburg Winery and go for a special tasting in the Reserve Cellar.
