Why visit
- Sarah and Hannes Endhardt planted about 11 acres of vines on a 46-acre farm in the Middleburg AVA just south of the Quaker village of Lincoln, opening their tasting room in fall 2021.
- With veteran Loudoun winemaker Ben Renshaw consulting, the estate wines have earned three golds at the 2025 Virginia Governor's Cup and the Grand Award at the 2024 Loudoun Wine Awards for the 2023 Upper Block Sauvignon Blanc.
- Alongside its own bottles the winery pours European "guest wines" sourced from the owners' friends and family overseas, a nod to Hannes's German roots.
- The airy, wood-floored tasting room opens onto a deck and a large patio overlooking a pond, the vines, and wooded hills, with several firepits going in the colder months.
- It is genuinely family-friendly — supervised kids are welcome and you can bring your own picnic — but pets are asked to stay home.
- No reservations are taken; tables are first-come, first-served, groups over eight should email ahead, and buses and limos are not allowed.
