“150 Wineries in 150 Days: Virginia” – Stop #3
There’s a map and more information on the page for Loudoun Valley Vineyards.
Loudoun Valley Vineyards is an unassuming little place, perfect for a quiet glass of Pinot Grigio overlooking a pastoral scene of silos and a hay barn. Friendly attendants walked us through a tasting of seven wines, all made from grapes grown elsewhere. New owners took over Loudoun Valley in 2008, and the winery is rebuilding, with a long term plan of re-planting the vineyards and getting back to bottling estate-grown varietals.
The tasting room is a cozy affair, with two fireplaces and simple wood tables and chairs. The remainders of a wedding set-up, held the previous day, were visible from the modest outdoor deck. The winery offers a picnic of brie/boursin, bread, fruit, cookies and salami for $20, or a smaller cheese plate with brie/boursin, bread and fruit for $10 – no need to request in advance.
The winery’s 2008 Vinifera Red is served at the Westin in Reston.
Hours: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday 12:00-5:00pm; Saturday & Sunday 11-6
