About Dover Hall

Dover Hall is Central Virginia’s Premier Destination for Unrivaled Events, Intentional Service, and Thoughtful Cuisine. Originally built as a private residence, the 38,000 square-foot English-style Tudor Castle sits on 55 rolling acres and is conveniently located just west of Richmond, Virginia.

The estate house offers a remarkable juxtaposition of modern amenities and authentic antiquity. While the building itself is only 25 years young, the vast majority of all décor, paintings, fireplace mantels, and furnishings were sourced from Eurpoean estates and auctions.

Looking to host a show stopping private event? Please contact Kate Belleman, Director of Sales, to learn more about our event spaces at Dover Hall, Bartizan, and 7 Lady Vineyards.
