Leesburg & Lucketts

The Route 15 corridor north and south of Leesburg is the fastest way from town to a tasting room: within about fifteen minutes of the courthouse square you can be on a 300-acre mountaintop estate at Stone Tower, in a 1790s manor parlor at Willowcroft (Loudoun’s oldest winery), or tasting port-style blends near the Potomac at Fabbioli Cellars. The Lucketts stretch mixes working farm wineries like EagleTree and Fleetwood Farm with laid-back stops such as Hidden Brook and Barnhouse Brewery, while Vanish Farmwoods gives the area a big open-air farm brewery. Expect rolling Piedmont farmland rather than mountain scenery, short drives between stops, and some of the county’s most convenient pairings of history, views, and food — this is the cluster to pick when you’re staying in Leesburg and want maximum tasting time for minimum driving.
