From the Winery’s Blurb:
Doukénie Winery strives to produce the finest wines possible and to give our patrons an educational and memorable experience.
Doukénie is a fun spot in scenic Hillsboro, just about 20 minutes from Leesburg. They offer an eclectic mix of special events including cooking classes, BBQs, release parties, festivals (including the popular Taste of Greece festival) and art classes for adults and kids, including interesting options like icon writing, monogramming, and landscape painting.
The quiet, pastoral scene is unmatched – the tasting room is housed in a red farm-style building, and barns and silos dot the fields. Covered patios surround the room, opening up the flow between tasting bar and tables for two with a view on a Friday night in late summer. Local (and exceptional) musician Todd Brooks played for and with the crowd as the sun set and the lightening bugs glittered against the inky sky.
The Wines: When we visited, the winery was tasting …
Reisling; Pinot Grigio; Chardonnay; Mandolin (blend of Traminette, Vidal, and Seyval); Sauvignon Blanc; Merlot; Syrah; Zeus (blend of Merlot, Tannate, Cab Franc, and Petit Verdot); Cabernet Franc; Cabernet Sauvignon; Hope’s Legacy Raspberry (raspberry fruit); and Nichola’s Blackberry (blackberry fruit). They had listed but were not tasting a Vintner’s Reserve (Bordeaux style blend) and Petit Verdot (both “coming soon!”).
From Washington DC, take I-66 West to Route 267 West (the Dulles Greenway-portions toll). Follow the Greenway to where it ends in Leesburg (about 13 miles). Merge onto Route 7 West, and stay on it for 5 miles to Route 9 West (Hillsboro / Charles Town exit). Go 7.3 miles on Route 9, then turn right on Mountain Road (Route 690 North). Drive 1 mile to Doukénie Winery on the left.
