Willowcroft Farm Vineyards
|
|
The vineyards at Willowcroft are located high atop the Catoctin Ridge, with panoramic views of the Loudoun Valley. Willowcrofts personal attention to detail, both in the vineyard and the winery, has resulted in national award-winning wines, time after time. In the 1800s the slopes were recognized for their potential and were planted to orchards. Today vineyards, which have replaced the fruit trees, yield superior grapes. The rustic beauty of the winery, housed in the old red bard, and the award-winning wines, will give you reason to return to this peaceful spot. Hours: January through February: Friday through Sunday, 11:00am - 5:00pm March through December: Friday through Sunday, 11:00am - 5:30pm.
