Let your taste buds do the touring in Loudoun! A “Destination Restaurant” is defined by the International Culinary Tourism Association as “a restaurant that is so interesting, different, or special that people travel just to eat there.” In a nomination and juried process, nine restaurants were identified as Loudoun’s best. They offer a unique, authentic, and cultural experience; are committed to quality; use locally grown produce and Loudoun wines; and are local favorites. These restaurants, and Loudoun’s 36 wineries and tasting rooms, are described in the Touring Guide to DC’s Wine Country: Loudoun, Virginia and on the Visit Loudoun website.
