Why visit

  • One of only a handful of true cideries in Loudoun County, pouring small-batch hard ciders made exclusively from Virginia-grown apples and pears.
  • The tasting room occupies a renovated 1940s dairy barn at 48 Fields Farm in the Lucketts countryside north of Leesburg, and the same barn doubles as one of the area's busiest wedding venues, so it closes for private events.
  • Founded in 2021 by Kelly and Steve Ewell, it was bought and relaunched in September 2025 by 48 Fields owners Macy and Cory Schilling, who are recasting it as a neighborhood gathering spot with holiday markets, workshops, and firepit evenings.
  • The blends are made in partnership with Doug Fabbioli of nearby Fabbioli Cellars, the farm grows 13 apple varieties in its own young orchard, and honey from the on-site apiary goes into the newest cider, Blue Honey.
  • Alongside cider flights, the tasting room has poured seasonal cider mimosas and sangrias with light bites.
  • Current official pages still say adults 21+ only, and open dates work around private events and seasonal closures — call or text ahead about dogs and open dates.
