868 Estate Vineyards, Purcellville

Set against 120 acres of forests, orchards, and gardens along the Loudon County Wine Trail, 868 Estate Vineyards compliments its postcard-worthy property with award-winning wines and farm-to-table food. The vineyard began operations in 2012, when three families with a shared passion for wine joined forces and began planting the initial vines.

Today, 868 fuses old-world practices with cutting-edge technology while churning out medal-worthy cabernet, chardonnay, riesling, and more. Beyond wine, the estate also boasts Grandale Vintner's Table restaurant, which spins local ingredients into American haute cuisine. For their part, visitors reap the benefits of the estate's efforts while hanging out in the tasting room enjoying the local art in our gallery—overlooking historic stone walls and giant sycamore trees—or while picnicking anywhere on the property.
