LEGACY OF THE LAND Loudoun’s agricultural tradition dates back hundreds of years. George Washington even hailed it as “The Breadbasket of the Revolution.” Grain and dairy farming thrived, and it turned out that the sunshine and well-drained soils were also ideal for grapes. Since the early 1980s, more than 25 varietals have been planted in Loudoun. Today, the county produces more grapes than any other region of Virginia. Yet, unlike the large commercial wine estates of the West Coast, Loudoun’s wineries are usually boutique family businesses: intimate and stylish.
