Wine Country
V
irginia’s rich wine history dates back more than four
centuries; it was in 1984 when Loudoun welcomed its
first winery – Willowcroft Farm Vineyards. Lew Parker
planted the first grapes for Willowcroft in 1981 on the
slopes of his farm that, in the 1800s, were successfully planted with
orchards. Loudoun’s fertile soil and temperate climate proved fruitful
and soon after, other winemakers followed in his footsteps.
DC’s Wine Country
Today, Loudoun is home to more
than 40 wineries and is one of the
premier wine regions along the
East Coast. Known as DC’s Wine
Country® due to its proximity to
the nation’s capital, Loudoun’s
wineries are nestled on the rolling
countryside, along winding roads
and between horse farms and
historic estates.
Explore
During a visit to Loudoun’s wine
country, experience Virginia
varietals, surprising blends
and dessert wines, indulge in
food pairings, stroll through
the vineyards and strike up a
conversation with winemakers
crafting award-winning wines.

educating visitors from behind
the bar. At Sunset Hills
Vineyard’s tasting room, you’ll
sip wine in an 8,000-square-foot
Amish-restored barn featuring
a stunning 35’ beamed ceiling.
Sunset Hills “uses Virginia
sunshine to make Virginia wine”-
an ode to the 154 solar panels
that make the 140-year -old farm
come to life in.
Edge of the County
Heading further north on
Route 15 towards the Maryland
border you will find the region’s
newest winery, Creek’s Edge.

distinctive silo, with an interior
that mimics an oak wine barrel,
complete with metal straps.

focus is in the vineyard, and
he follows an Old World style of

Leesburg, Loudoun’s county
seat since 1757, dominates the
landscape of Central Loudoun.
To begin exploring a town with
such deep roots, it may be best
to start at the Thomas Balch
Library, which houses a wealth
of genealogy and local historical
information. The history lesson
can then continue to Balls
Bluff Battlefield Regional
Park to observe the interpretive
markers of the area’s largest
Civil War engagement.
An easy afternoon stroll through
historic downtown’s brick-lined
sidewalks will uncover boutique
shops and unique local favorites.
Walking down King Street
you’ll find the elegant Lightfoot
Restaurant, the three-story
home of the former Peoples
National Bank, dating back
to 1888. The Black Shutter
Antique Center has occupied
a 19th Century brick house in
historic downtown Leesburg
for almost 20 years. The shop
features 40 dealers offering 20
rooms of antiques and art on
two levels.
Celebrating 31 years of wine making excellence, the vineyards at Willowcroft
are located high atop the Catoctin Ridge on the southern tip of Leesburg, VA.
Owner/winemaker Lew Parker is know as a pioneer in the industry. Our picnic
area boasts breathless panoramic views of Loudoun Valley and the Blue Ridge
Mountains. Willowcroft’s personal attention to detail, both in the vineyard and
the winery, has resulted in national award-winning wines, time after time.

The region extends to the west
towards the village of Bluemont,
with the Blue Ridge Mountains
serving as a spectacular
backdrop.
If there was an official capital
of horse country in America, it
would be Middleburg. This small
town of about 600 residents has
held undisputed claim to this title
since the early 20th century when
wealthy sporting enthusiasts and
their horses and hounds claimed
the town and its lush rolling
countryside as riders have rubbed
elbows in Middleburg, including
the late philanthropist and
sportsman Paul Mellon, President
and Mrs. John F. Kennedy, and F.
Scott Fitzgerald.
Today, downtown Middleburg
features boutique shops and
specialty gift stores that offer an
old-world feel. If there is a special
furry friend in your family, this is
a great place to bring them along
for the weekend. Wylie Wagg
specializes in the health and well-
being of dogs and cats, and many
of the shops and restaurants
will have water bowls and treats
waiting for them.
Southern Loudoun is rich in Civil

Purcellville is the largest town
in Western Loudoun and has a
great collection of shops, local
restaurants and breweries, as
well as performing and visual
arts centers. The town may have
no landmark more famous than
Nichols Hardware. This family
store has been operating for over
100 years, still using handwritten
receipts like when they opened
their doors in December of 1914.
Hillsboro is Loudoun’s smallest
town, with its most contemporary
structure dating to the late 1800s.
Named appropriately for its
geography, the wineries around
Hillsboro offer some of the best
views in the county. From the
terrace outside Hillsborough
Vineyards, visitors experience
luxuriant gardens and trickling
fountains, dramatically framed
by the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Two local favorite breweries reside
in Western Loudoun –Old 690
Brewing Company and Adroit
Theory Brewing Company.
Adroit makes esoteric beers with
an emphasis on barrel aging.
The brewers always have a new
concoction waiting for you,
making this stop great for every
return trip to the county. Old 690
Brewing was one of the first farm
breweries to open in the state
Mark and Vicki Fedor’s English Tudor style winery is the only winery in
Loudoun that is LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)

Market Table Bistro
Appearing to be a neighborhood
restaurant at first glance, Market
Table Bistro raises the bar with
its carefully executed local
cuisine. Situated in the heart of
rural Loudoun, the owners have
developed personal relationships
with local farmers and purveyors
to provide the quality products
that shine in their “keep it simple”
approach to cooking.
The Restaurant at
Patowmack Farm
Both the Potomac River and
the mountains serve as the
backdrop for this restaurant,
which is located in a glass
conservatory on Patowmack
Farm. Here, the chef transforms
the farm’s foraged organic
foods into gastronomic works
of art that come to life on your
plate. Menus change monthly
and daily adjustments are made
based on what the gardens are
producing.
Eastern Loudoun
Blue Ridge Grill
Blue Ridge Grill is perfect for
visitors looking for a casual
dining experience and a place
where locals go. The restaurant
was started in 2002 by two
entrepreneurs who, after working
in restaurants across Northern
Virginia and South America,
wanted to create their own style
of eatery. While there, try the
Leesburger, a local favorite.
Clyde’s Willow Creek Farm
The first decision to be made
at Clyde’s is where to sit. This
sprawling, rustic tavern is
comprised of several antique
barns, homes and stables that
were destined for demolition
until the Clyde’s Restaurant
Group purchased them to
create Clyde’s Willow Creek
Farm. Dining rooms feature
original artwork, historic
artifacts and a collection of
18th century horse-drawn
carriages. True to its name,
Clyde’s is located on a working
farm where its team of chefs
draws inspiration for the classic
tavern menu.

he National Sporting Library & Museum in Middleburg
is a research library and art museum that preserves,
celebrates, and shares the art, literature, and culture of
horse and field sports. For the horse enthusiasts who
prefer to experience the sensation of riding for themselves, the
Virginia International Polo Club in Upperville offers guests the
opportunity to learn to play polo, while Serene Acres in Bluemont
provides English riding instruction and trail rides.
Tours and shows can be found
throughout the year in the
Middleburg area. The Upperville
Colt & Horse Show, held at the
magnificent Grafton and Salem
Farms is the oldest horse show
in the country, dating to 1853.
Steeped in tradition, it extends a
full seven days, and involves over
two thousand horse and rider
combinations from young children
on ponies to leading Olympic and
World Cup riders and horses. The
Hunt County Stable Tour is held
on Memorial Day weekend when
more than a dozen private horse
estates and equine facilities open
their doors to the public.

side in Loudoun. No trip here is complete without making

hike on the Appalachian Trail, zip line through the trees,
golf on a luxury course, meet new animals or play sports when the
weather is nice. Spend a weekend on the wild side by yourself or with
the family while exploring everything Loudoun has to offer.
Get On Your Feet
and Move
Would you rather hike it or
bike it? Either way, Loudoun
features beautiful trails to
experience on your feet or on
a seat. For a rigorous hike, try
the Appalachian Trail, a 2,174
mile path that passes just west
of Loudoun. Take on the trail
for a day, week or weekend
and take a rest at Bears Den
in Bluemont, which provides
a full service hostel for hikers
or the Appalachian Outdoor
Readiness and Essentials in
Purcellville, which has all of your
hiking necessities. If you prefer
a flat and shorter ride, hop on
