Vint Hill Craft Winery has an interesting story. It was a dairy farm in the early 20th century. The owner was also into ham radio, and one day he happened to pick up strange German transmissions over his radio. He notified the government, and it was soon discovered that the dairy farm was the perfect geographic site for picking up German transmissions during World War II.

The government came in and began working out of the top level of the dairy farm, and they even dressed up as dairy farmers to blend it and avoid suspicion. The site essentially became the first NSA. It was a working military site until 1992.

The structures nearby include former military barracks. The site is not as photogenic as many wineries in Virginia, but it makes up for it with history. There is even a Cold War Museum next door to the winery that you can visit. There are also two cafes and a brewery nearby.

15 Spectacular Wineries to Visit in Northern Virginia

May 11, 2021

Whether you're looking for a weekend getaway from Washington, DC or are on a Virginia road trip, visiting a winery in Northern Virginia is a guaranteed fun time. Stop for a wine tasting, buy a bottle to go, or enjoy a picnic while admiring vineyard views as you discover delicious Virginia wines. If you're a wine lover, you'll surely enjoy these spectacular Northern Virginia wineries and vineyards!   

Northern Virginia Wineries & Vineyards

As you drive out of Washington, DC and into northern Virginia, you'll start noticing signs for vineyards and wineries along the highway. And the further you venture into the picturesque countryside, the more signs you'll see. This is because within a two-hour drive of DC, northern Virginia is home to over 100 wineries and vineyards!  

Given the abundance of excellent NoVA wineries, how can you choose which ones to visit? To help get you started, I'm sharing some of my favorite wineries in Northern Virginia that I've visited multiple times over the years. 

With excellent views, delicious wine, and cozy countryside settings, these wineries are the perfect place to relax. Plus, if you're looking for a place to hold an event, such as a wedding, rehearsal dinner, bridal shower, or even a corporate retreat - these wineries and vineyards make perfect venues!

A Few Things to Know about My Favorite Northern Virginia Wineries

From 2012-2017 when I lived in DC, I devoted many weekends to wine tasting and picnicking in vineyards throughout northern Virginia. As a result of over five years of "research", I can highly recommend the wineries and vineyards on this list. 

That being said, everyone has different tastes. So let me tell you a few things that I appreciate in a winery. That way, you'll have an idea whether these wineries might be ones you'd enjoy as well. 

1) Friendly and Welcoming Staff

Nothing is better than feeling like you're welcome and that the staff is happy you're there. I've had wonderful tastings at all of these wineries. Though sometimes you have to be prepared for it to be a bit more rushed than others - like on busy weekends.

2) Picturesque Views

Since you're going out of your way to escape the city, why wouldn't you want a picturesque view to look at while drinking your wine? At least, that's my thought! Whether overlooking a valley or the Blue Ridge Mountains, many wineries in Northern Virginia have gorgeous views. 

Though sometimes, just being in a pastoral setting on a farm looking at some vines and a pond is equally calming. 

3) Dry, Full-bodied Red Wines

Here's the one where our tastes might diverge. Simply put, I love dry wines, especially full-bodied reds. And my favorite wineries all have at least a few on the menu. In fact, many wineries on this list specialize in Old-World style Bordeaux red blends.

As you travel around northern Virginia wineries, you'll notice a fair number of sweet or semi-sweet wines on tasting menus. Although some of the wineries on my list have sweet or fruit wine options, be aware that some of them do not. 

Planning a Trip to Northern Virginia Wine Country

If you're planning a trip with friends or a romantic escape from the city, booking a vacation rental in Northern Virginia's wine country is a great idea!

With over 100 wineries in the region, obviously you could spend a whole weekend tasting wine. But Northern Virginia's quaint towns and historical landmarks, as well as hiking, kayaking, and other outdoor adventures are also fantastic activities to vary things up.

Note about COVID-19 Precautions:  At this time, many wineries have adjusted their tastings or limited their in-person winery offerings to comply with safety regulations. Please check the website before visiting any of these wineries to find out up-to-dates opening hours and safety policies. 

Winery Transportation and Tours

If you're visiting the DC area and would like to visit several wineries, you might consider booking a Northern Virginia Winery tour and transportation.

These winery tours are great for groups on a day trip from Washington, DC. Plus, if you'd like to visit multiple wineries in a day, a tour ensures no one has to miss out on the wine tastings in order to be the designated driver. 

List of Northern Virginia Wineries

As you can see from the map below, these wonderful wineries are scattered throughout northern Virginia. I'll begin my list with wineries closest to DC and head west along Interstate 66. Then, I'll finish up with the wineries to the north near Purcellville and Leesburg.

All driving times are calculated from downtown DC (1400 K St., NW - my former office) and are approximate. Traffic always adds extra minutes!

Paradise Springs Winery

Location: Clifton, VA Distance from DC: 28 miles Travel Time from DC: ~45 min Paradise Springs Winery website

Children Allowed?  Yes, under supervision. Certain areas are adult-only. Dog-friendly?  Yes, dogs on leash allowed on lawn only.

Less than an hour's drive from Washington, DC, Paradise Springs Winery is a fun, family-friendly winery that's a favorite among Washingtonians. Nestled on 36-acres in Clifton, VA, this property is a green oasis which is perfect for a weekend wine outing. 

Enjoy a tasting in the 3000-sq ft tasting room then head out to the back patio to relax with a bottle of wine and some friends. On Saturdays, live music is a welcome addition to the winery experience. Check the website to find out who's playing on the day you'd like to visit (and when the live music starts up again). 

Fun fact: Paradise Springs Winery has the distinction of being the first bicoastal winery. If you're on the west coast, be sure to visit the tasting room in downtown Santa Barbara, California.

Address:  13219 Yates Ford Road, Clifton, VA 20124

The Winery at Bull Run

Location:  Centreville, VA Distance from DC:    28 miles Travel Time from DC: ~45 min The Winery at Bull Run website

Children Allowed? Yes, under supervision. Certain areas are adult-only. Dog-friendly?  No.

Located in Fairfax County, The Winery at Bull Run claims it's "the closest winery to DC" though it seems like it might be a tie to me. Regardless, its convenient location makes it a great day trip into Virginia wine country! Not only does this winery make delicious Virginia wine, but they've preserved pieces of the property's former structures and these ruins give it a cool historic vibe.

Wine enthusiasts with an affinity for American history will appreciate the winery's location right on the edge of the 5,000-acre Manassas National Battlefield Park where the first battle of the U.S. Civil War (1861) was fought. 

On the property, you'll find ruins of Hillwood Mansion which was used at some point during either the first or second Battle of Bull Run as a field hospital. These remnants add a unique vibe to this Virginia winery.

If you're lucky, you might meet the resident ghosts - Benoni Harrison, a Civil War soldier, and the ghost of a little girl. Can't say I've ever met one of its ghosts, but I did enjoy many afternoons picnicking on the lawn after a wine tasting in the manor.

Visiting a vineyard is such an experience! I especially love the meadows and the greenery around the yard. It’s serene to tranquilize all your senses! Not to mention the wine tasting experience is also quite refreshing. Loved the post. The beautiful win bottles clicked with a lush green backdrop are adorable! Thoughtful clicks!

Thank you so much! Wine tasting in lush green hills is an experience that I miss. It’s always such fun and I’m glad you enjoyed the post.

Sounds like a lovely place to visit some wineries. This is something that would very much interest. Lovely that the area has great outdoor activities also and hiking sounds like a visit is in order 🤔

Northern Virginia is a great area and I’m glad to have convinced you it’s worth a visit!

Fantastic topic and fantastic guide Becky! Who doesnt love wineries? Did you visited them all? you probably got a good hangover hahaha Thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much! Yes, I visited all of these wineries and most of the others in Northern Virginia that were open when I lived there. When I researched for this article, I saw many more have opened up since I left though so I’ll have to go back and try those too!

I may have to alter our driving plans just to fit in a winery or two on our road trip this summer. My husband and I spent our honeymoon in Portugal going around to all the wineries and port houses we could manage so we really enjoy traveling for wine. But I do think I will add in the Fox Meadow Winery. Add they allow kids, yeah.

Wine tasting in Portugal is one of my dreams, Leanne! Sounds like adding a visit to a northern Virginia winery on your road trip would be the perfect thing for you and your husband. And hopefully the kids won’t mind too much!

Love this! I also love your criteria for a good winery. I used to live in DC but missed so many of these locations. I’ll be saving this for a return trip.

Thanks, Jen! I’m glad you liked the criteria part. I hope you’ll get back to the DC area to try some of these wineries in NoVA. It’s crazy how many there are now. I already see new ones that I haven’t visited!

I learn about so many new wine regions through blogging. Northern Virginia needs to go on the list as well!

It’s a growing industry in Virginia so I imagine there will be even more wineries to visit soon! Plus, going out for a few tastings is so convenient to add on to a trip to Washington, DC.

I had no idea Northern Virginia had wineries, and so many of them! I’d love to visit the one at Bull Run, basically for the historical connection. Must add such a unique element to the visit, but also, I wonder… in the terroir of the wine too!

It’s amazing how many wineries have opened in northern Virginia – and the entire state – in the past few decades. I read that in the 1990s, Virginia had ~50 wineries and now there are over 300. Quite a booming industry!

Enjoyed reading this post. Just goes to show how little I know about the U.S., but I had no idea they do wine in this area. All my friends think I’m a bit of a twat for not having much of a taste for New World wines, and I can only agree with them. However I’d still love to try a few of these wines and experience the atmosphere at places like The Winery at Bull Run. Blue Ridge Mountains sound like they might be fun for hiking.

Thanks, Stefan! Maybe you just haven’t tried enough New World wines yet? I find it’s best to try as many as possible, though not on the same day! 😉 It’s funny how different people’s tastes are and even winery to winery in northern Virginia, the selection is so different. I’d be curious to hear what you think. And yes, combining wine tasting with hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains is the perfect weekend trip!

"DCACar, aka the best part of the whole day - we didn't have to worry about driving! We had a wonderful driver, John, take us out to Virginia to visit our two chosen wineries and then back home at the end of the day. We rode in style in a big black SUV that comfortably seated all 6 of us. It was even stocked with mints and water! John had all of the directions to and from our two planned stops so we simply had to bring our things to the car and he did all of the work; including opening and closing our doors - he was a true gentleman. We never had to worry or wish for a thing." - Jennifer Rogers

You’ll enjoy our Northern Virginia Wine Tours. When it comes to wine tasting, there are a few things to keep in mind to fully appreciate the flavors and aromas of the wine. First, look at the wine and examine its color and clarity. Then, give it a good swirl to release the aromas and sniff deeply. Try to identify any fruit, floral, or earthy scents. When tasting, let the wine roll around in your mouth and pay attention to its texture and flavors. Finally, feel free to spit out the wine if you’re at a tasting event – you’ll be able to taste more wines without getting too tipsy!
