Welcome to the Darden South Lounge, a remarkable Jeffersonian space and one of Charlottesville's most sought after event spaces. Its bright and open floor plan allows for a variety of configurations based on event requirements. Conference clients enjoy utilizing the existing soft seating for convivial meetings and small group sessions during the day, then transforming the space in the evening for receptions and dinner events. The grandeur of the South Lounge is also perfect for special events including speaking engagements, wedding ceremonies and cocktail parties. When used in conjunction with the adjoining Pepsico Forum or South Lounge Patio, guests move between the spaces creating a harmonious flow of events.
