Loudoun is DC’s Wine Country®. Only 25 miles from Washington, DC, Loudoun has matured into a true culinary destination. The culinary story of Loudoun includes a thriving wine industry, an emerging craft brewery scene, and foods from farms that have been producing for generations. To make your experience as effortless as possible, we have grouped Loudoun’s 39 wineries and tasting rooms into six driving “clusters.” Each drive is an experience in itself, along winding roads and up mountainsides, past horse farms and historic estates, and beside miles of stacked stone fences. Our diverse mix of culinary delights is as eclectic as the restaurants that serve them.
