A rare and distinguished offering in the heart of Loudoun County’s celebrated wine corridor, 868 Estate Vineyards stands among Virginia’s most decorated and dynamic wine estates. Fresh off a standout showing at the 2026 Virginia Governor’s Cup — two Gold Medals (2023 Meritage, 2022 Meritage) and two Silvers (Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc) — the estate continues to build on its landmark win of the 2020 Governor’s Cup for its 2017 Vidal Blanc Passito, cementing its place among the Commonwealth’s most consistently awarded producers.

Set across approximately 120 rolling acres, with 21 acres currently under vine, the property offers both immediate production strength and meaningful room to grow. The vineyard reflects thoughtful site selection and varietal diversity, with plantings that include Chambourcin, Chardonel, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Tannat, Sauvignon Blanc, Petit Manseng, Merlot, Viognier, and Nebbiolo. Substantial additional acreage supports future vineyard expansion, agritourism, or complementary estate improvements — giving the next steward room to scale while preserving the property’s pastoral character.

The recognition runs deep. The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc earned Best in Class at the 2025 Loudoun Wine Awards and a Gold at the Virginia Governor’s Cup, joined by Golds for the 2022 Meritage and 2022 Chardonnay. The 2023 Meritage also earned a Gold Medal and 93 points from the American Wine Society. A comprehensive list of awards and scores is available upon request.

The winery is fully equipped as a turnkey production and hospitality operation, including a temperature-controlled steel tank room, barrel aging room, and dedicated case storage, with vineyard and winery equipment, machinery, tanks, barrels, and wine inventory included in the sale. Guest-facing amenities are equally compelling: a well-established tasting room with a loyal regional following, a covered pavilion, a large permanent canopy built for weddings and private events, and a pergola and outdoor gathering spaces overlooking the vines — supporting diversified revenue through retail sales, wine club membership, private events, and destination tourism.

Adding further depth are several significant structures: an 1840 manor house awaiting restoration, a winemaker’s cottage with supporting outbuildings, and the former acclaimed farm-to-table restaurant, Grandale Farm, complete with commercial kitchen infrastructure and poised for reinvention as a culinary destination. Few Virginia wineries offer this combination of vineyard scale, award-winning production, event capacity, and culinary potential within a single integrated estate.

The sale includes two LLCs encompassing the real estate, vineyard plantings, and operational winery assets — a seamless, turnkey acquisition. 868 Estate Vineyards is more than a winery purchase; it’s the opportunity to steward an established, statewide-recognized brand with significant growth potential and lasting legacy in one of Virginia’s most vibrant wine regions.
