Why visit
- The Sexton family has owned this 200-acre Round Hill estate since the early 1980s, selling grapes to Virginia winemakers from 2009 before launching their own label and opening the tasting room in April 2021.
- More than 40 acres of vines grow thirteen varietals, and the estate took three golds at the 2026 Virginia Governor's Cup for its 2023 Merlot, 2023 Williams Gap Red, and 2024 Albariño.
- Unusually for a Loudoun winery, there is also house craft beer — brewed with Ashburn's Lost Rhino and finished on site in a small brewery under the pavilion — plus a sweet vermouth program.
- The hilltop tasting room, rear deck, and pavilion look out over the vines toward the Blue Ridge, with cornhole on the front lawn.
- Leashed dogs are welcome outdoors on the front patio, pavilion, and deck, and kids may join on the main tasting-room level and all outdoor spaces (not upstairs), kept within arm's reach.
- A full kitchen turns out flatbreads, paninis, salads, and boards; walk-ins work for groups up to 10, while larger parties need a prepaid private event space.
