It’s Virginia Wine Month, and honestly, you don’t need a better excuse to grab your people, hit the road, and sip your way through Northern Virginia. Between the views, the vino, and the vibes, these wineries prove you don’t have to head west to feel like you’ve escaped.



01 Stone Tower Winery |Leesburg, VA

The definition of “wine country goals.” Killer views, elegant wines and the kind of space that makes you want to stay all afternoon. Order the rosé and pretend you’re in Provence — no passport required.



02 Boxwood Estate Winery — Middleburg, VA

Refined, modern, and just a touch bougie (in the best way). Their Bordeaux-style blends are legit, and the tasting room looks like it belongs in a movie.



03 The Winery at Bull Run — Centreville, VA

Part history lesson, part happy hour. It’s rustic, casual and great for groups. Bonus: the live music scene here is top-tier.



04 Walsh Family Wine — Purcellville, VA

Boutique and beautifully done. The Walshes are redefining Virginia wine with clean, expressive bottles that let the local soil do the talking. Their Viognier alone is worth the drive.



05 Greenhill Vineyards — Middleburg, VA

Classic Middleburg energy — chic, timeless and effortlessly Instagrammable. Bring your bestie or your fiancé and lean into the countryside fantasy.



Honorable Mentions

Because you know we couldn’t stop at five:

  • Sunset Hills Vineyard | Purceville, VA —

    Sunshine in a bottle, literally (they're solar-powered)

  • Blue Valley Vineyard & Winery | Delaplane, VA —

    Sweeping mountain views that demand a toast

  • Quattro Goomba's Winery | Aldie, VA —

    Wine, pizza and weekend chaos in the best way


NoVA’s wine scene is always — bold, creative and unapologetically local. So go on, celebrate Virginia Wine Month the right way: one glass, one vineyard, one perfect fall afternoon at a time.
