Explore #DCsWineCountry!

Just 25 miles from Washington, DC, Loudoun County offers a picturesque escape with more than 50 wineries and tasting rooms amid vine-covered hills and river valleys. Since Willowcroft Farm Vineyards barreled the first wine – a Riesling – in 1984, the region has flourished with varietals like Chardonnay, Viognier, Petit Manseng and Bordeaux blends, alongside surprises such as Spanish-style Albariño, Nebbiolo reminiscent of Italy’s Piedmont, and Norton, Virginia’s own grape. DC’s Wine Country® also offers classes, harvest dinners, grape stomping, spa treatments, music and yoga in the vines, delectable farm-to-table dining and frequent guest chef appearances – a testament to more than 40 years of exciting winemaking.  Explore it all on your own or with guided winery tours tailored to your tastes. If the bacchanal gets too much, retreat to a boutique bed and breakfast and wake up to the best vineyard views this side of Tuscany.
