District Winery

Upper-level wraparound terrace with river views; DC is a federal district..

District Winery is a working urban winery on the Capitol Riverfront in Washington, DC, and its upper-level wraparound terrace looks directly over the Anacostia River. Couples typically hold ceremonies on the waterfront terrace shown in the photo, then move inside to the barrel-lined event spaces for dinner and dancing — a built-in weather backup that keeps the river views. Wine is made on site, which gives receptions a distinctive catering angle. Note that DC is a federal district rather than a state, which matters for marriage license logistics. Confirm which spaces your booking includes, terrace seasonality and current guest limits with the events team. Also ask about wine-inclusive beverage packages, whether ceremonies on the terrace have a covered fallback indoors with the same views, valet or garage parking in the Navy Yard area, and how the venue sequences ceremony, cocktail hour and reception across its spaces. Riverfront sunsets are a highlight — time the ceremony accordingly.
