Leesburg Premium Outlets: Shop 'Til You Drop! Leesburg Premium Outlets is a shopper's paradise! I've been there a few times now, and it's definitely a go-to for finding great deals on a wide variety of brands. You can find just about anything there, from high-end designer stores like Kate Spade and Tory Burch to more athletic wear at Nike. It's a great place to spend a day if you're looking to do some serious shopping. One of the things I appreciate most about this outlet mall is the layout. It's designed in a way that makes it easy to navigate, and there's plenty of parking. Plus, they've got a play area right in the middle, which is a lifesaver if you've got kids with you. It's the perfect spot to take a break and let them burn off some energy so you can get back to shopping. If I had one complaint, it would be the food selection. While there are some options, the food area is a bit lacking in variety. It's fine for a quick bite, but if you're looking for a more substantial meal, you might want to plan to eat elsewhere. Overall, though, Leesburg Premium Outlets is a fantastic shopping destination. The variety of stores and the family-friendly amenities make it a great place to spend a day. Just be sure to wear comfortable shoes, and maybe plan your lunch or dinner off-site!
Leesburg Premium Outlets is a great place to shop, with a wide variety of stores. The layout is easy to navigate, and the outdoor setting makes for a nice walk while shopping. It can get crowded on weekends and holidays, and parking sometimes takes a bit of patience, but overall it’s a solid outlet mall with good bargains and lots of options.
Discover a shopping experience like no other with a wide selection of top-quality brands. Enjoy ample parking spaces, making your visit convenient and stress-free. Find incredible deals and elevate your style with the latest trends. Experience a pleasant and satisfying shopping trip. We look forward to welcoming you soon.
Leesburg Premium Outlets is not just a shopping center, it is a whole world of opportunities for those who appreciate style, quality, and great deals. My visit to this outlet left me with an extremely positive impression, and I am happy to share my impressions. First of all, the scale is impressive. A huge number of stores representing well-known brands offer a wide selection of goods for every taste and budget. From clothing and footwear to accessories and home goods, you can find almost anything your heart desires here. At the same time, prices are significantly lower than in regular retail stores, which makes shopping especially enjoyable.
I would give it a five stars if it wasn't for these wasted parking spaces. Really? Gotta penny pinch for that extra dollar with threats of towing? What are yall, the special ed crew of DC. Why dont ya just vote out those elected officials that makes you penny pinch. Geez. Nevertheless, great deals, great workers making the shopping experiences memorable. #Stop By and Avoid Pating for the parking spot to shop
Well worth the drive out from DC. This outlet mall has so many of the most popular brands with heavily discounted prices. It has good foodcourt options, great parking and outdoor entertainment too amuse/distract the kids.
I went to the Leesburg outlet for the first time. Some brands were perfect. Puma, Reebok, and Colombia were the best when I wanted to compare with other brands. Nike was packed but the prices were fair.
Great outlet mall with an amazing selection of stores! The prices are unbeatable, and I always find good deals on top brands. The place is well-organized, clean, and easy to navigate. Perfect spot for a full day of shopping.

It is so much fun taking the ferry.. they are efficient & its always faster than i expect. Beautiful surroundings. They have a little grill, boat rentals and rest rooms in the park area right there.
Well this was fun I have lived in the area for 30 years and never taking the ferry and we decided to do so when going from Leesburg to Gaithersburg. It was really fun only took a few minutes not a long wait
Such a cute ferry! If you don't mind a wait (5-10 mins) and $5 cash each way, then it's worthwhile to try it out at least once. We enjoyed the ride. :)
Even though it's a short ride across the Potomac River it was still pretty cool for our first time. They let you get out of your vehicle and stand on the ferry as it's going across which one child it really enjoyed
$2 to take a bicycle on the ferry. Nice little place to drink beer and camp. Confederate statue honoring "heroes."
Slow but interesting, nice scenery road to relax and drive, don't come this way if you are in a hurry. Cash only, I'm posting a pic of the price schedule.
Smoothest ride I've ever experienced. If you didn't look out the window, you'd have no idea you were moving. Can accommodate about 20 vehicles at one time, $5 one way to get your car across the river.
Stopped by for a bite to eat on our last day of a GAP/C&O Canal bike tour. Cheap beer, good eats, nice staff, highly recommend to anyone passing nearby! 12" sub particularly cost effective for anyone looking to maximize yum and calories

Slide 1 of 8
Stunning gardens European in feel. Hedges create long narrow pathways. Hills in the distance. My review is just for the gardens as the extensive history of the house and its historical relevance is for others to write who have done the house tour. I will be back to do it in the spring!
Well maintained grounds! Beautiful flowers we had a great time… need to come back for the tour but definitely a lovely garden!
I went on the house tour today with a bonfire historian and it was great! I learned so much about the families that lived here and about the difficulties emancipated slaves went through. Very eye opening. The house has connections to the powerful Carter family and Eleanor Roosevelt once visited! This is a place everyone should visit.
I loved it here! The land is so beautiful with so much history. I will definitely visit again next time in the area. Would like to return in Summer when everything is in full bloom.
Wish I could tour inside the mansion but garden great for pictures. Beautiful from another time.
My husband and I visited early spring. Love the layout of the gardens and flowers already blooming. It was so much fun to walk around and enjoy the gardens. We will definitely be going back. We went on the weekend and it wasn't too crowded, but this wasn't peak season. A lot of daffodils were blooming along with a couple of weeping cherry trees and bushes. I imagine the gardens are even more gorgeous once they are completely in bloom.
The fact that the gardens are free and open to the public is already 5 stars! You can bring a picnic and there are many picnic tables around the grounds. I didn’t do the house tour or go in the spring when flowers are in full bloom, but it was already beautiful.
What a hidden gem! Our trip to Oatlands was wonderful. We showed up with 1 hour left until closing, which was enough time for us to check out the exterior of the mansion and enjoy the garden. We also had the pleasure of meeting Rita, who was so friendly and knowledgeable. She shared such valuable information about the estate and its history. Thank you for making our first visit so memorable, Rita. We look forward to returning in the fall!

Whimsical-bad ass-fun! Those are the words that come to mind after visiting here. Parking is decent, it's an unpaved lot with a circular driveway. There is handicap parking a short distance from a ramp and is assisted mobility friendly. Walking in is a delight with lots of eye catching things, I was caught In a moment of where to go and what to see at the same time. I was greeted upon entry by the manager who is very friendly, well versed and knowledgeable about the establishment and offerings. They have monthly themes, this month is dragon's. Tasting may be thoughtfully paired with a snack, guided or self guided. Both floors are well lit, plenty of natural light through big windows that look out onto the beautiful farm. Upstairs is the 360 view with what looks like a brown eye in the ceiling and gorgeous quilts hanging on the wall. They do have outdoor seating, however, it was covered in snow and rather cold out. There is live music on Saturdays, during the day. They have a great selection of wines and ciders here and looking forward to trying them all!! Everything I tried on this visit was wonderful and thoughtfully prepared. The prices are also very reasonable, especially for this area!! If you are looking for a great place to go, enjoy nice people, drink delicious wine and cider, listen to live music and enjoy an experience out of the ordinary, this is the place.
We came back to Fabbioli after more than 15 years (too long!) and were impressed with both the “new” tasting room and the welcoming staff. The bites that accompany the tasting flight are excellent and each one really complemented the respective wine. The grounds are beautiful and make for a nice afternoon sipping wine. We liked it so much that we joined their wine club.
I visited this vineyard recently with my daughter & my friends. I had never heard of this place prior to our visit. I will definitely be returning. It's beautiful scenery, serene, & an absolutely fantastic place for 🍷🍷🍷 wine tasting. I ended up purchasing 4 bottles of wine, a t-shirt, & 2 Father's Day Cards for my husband & father. Jay's Taco Truck had some tasty 🌮🌮🌮 tacos. They had horses 🐴🐴🐴 on the day we went which was a total surprise. My daughter was thrilled to have been able to interact with such a majestic animal.
Fabbioli Cellars is one of the original Loudoun County wineries of continues to amaze with its unique tastings beautiful space and lively and welcoming atmosphere. The owner Doug Fabbioli is always giving guests new experiences and offerings to make this place come alive. The beautiful surroundings enhance an already lovely atmosphere and makes you feel like you're a thousand miles from DC when you're only about an hour away! We love bringing our guests to this lovely space!
Nice winery which offers live music. The wines are ok and have a good service.
Wow! What a fun time! We came in from out of town and were suggested to go there! We live so close to wine city but decided to go anyways. The pairings were so well thought out. You get just a small pour with a small sample of food but it pushes you out of your comfort zone! I tried so many reds when they weren’t my favorite and I loved every single of them. I loved having just a little bite to go with it! What a fun experience!
Absolutely obsessed! My mom and I come here every month as wine members. We love that they have a monthly theme and change up their menu monthly. The team members are also so so friendly and know who we are every month! Absolutely love this winery.
If 0 stars was an option, I would rate it a 0. The wine was good, but the service was horrible. We were rushed during the tasting, lasting about 5 minutes. The service was unfriendly, and they acted as if they were superior. Would NOT recommend the tasting, as it was truly the worst tasting experience I’ve had.

Spent the weekend here for a wedding. It was beautiful. Great scenery, lots of nature and wildlife. Lovely trails and pretty quiet, aside from nature sounds. The stars are beautiful as well.
A must-see for any Harry Potter fan! The exhibits are beautifully designed, featuring authentic props, costumes, and interactive displays that make you feel like you're stepping into the magical world. It's a fun and immersive experience for all ages. Highly recommend visiting if you're in the area!
Beautiful mansion and historic buildings surrounded by luscious greenery and very well kept gardens and grounds. Nice easy walking trails around the house and associated structures.
The mansion tour was great, original furnishings and cool history. The grounds are massive, nice trails and out buildings.
This is an excellent venue for all things horse! The place is huge, the facilities are enormous for participants, horses, and spectators. If you have have difficulty walking, shuttle golf carts can be a help and there is disability parking available slightly closer to the action. The only toilets on event days are individual porta-potties. Because of this and the rugged terrain, I think it would be v difficult to use a wheelchair for eventing days. I found myself wishing that I had an all-terrain walker!
Wonderful time today with our groups. Beautiful park nice bathrooms and trails to walk picnic tables to eat at and this weekend international horse show free.
Excellent park. All grounds and the building are worth visiting.
My husband and I wanted to get away to a local place. We live in Alexandria Virginia. This was just a drive about 45 minutes away. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and there’s so much history. I would definitely visit again. There is a historic house that you can visit, but it has very specific hours during the week. Please look on the website before your visit to plan the things that you want to do. This place is about 1000 acres! It’s massive.

Superb experience. Within one hour drive from DC,the place offers a beautiful landscape with facilities where they serve lunch and wine-tasting. The lunch we had was very nice which went well with their Chardonnay. The price was reasonable. Above all, service was superb. We had an unforeseen incident where staff were super professional, attentive, and handled it exceptionally well. Thumbs up.
Stone Tower Winery is such a peaceful and beautiful spot — perfect for a relaxing day out with the kids! I love that they have separate areas for families and a 21+ section, so everyone has a space that fits their vibe. The views are absolutely stunning — endless green vineyards and open skies. They had live music, amazing food, and of course, delicious wine. Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating, and parking was super easy with lots of space. A perfect blend of nature, great atmosphere, and family-friendly options. We’ll definitely be coming back!
Visited on a Sunday, about a couple of hours before it was set to close, and couldn't have been happier about stopping here. Despite being busy, it still felt very serene, spacious and accommodating. I was in town for a conference and this was a great way to relax before a busy few days - enjoyable wine, dog friendly (wish mine were with me), and the view during sunset was breathtaking. I'd absolutely return! As a side note, I ubered there and back - the uber for pick up took a bit (depending on where you're at on property, the reception is a little spotty), but it worked out overall!
We went here because other couple lives up the road (Leesburg). My first impression was: beautiful venue, okay wines, lots of throughput (think cheesecake factory). BUT! Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. The food was great. AND I really enjoyed the wines (with free tastes). The venue IS beautiful; we watched a bridal party taking pictures down by the pond. Overall great experience and I will return
Husband and I had the pleasure to join an estate wine tour at Stone Tower yesterday, last minute. It included a golf-cart tour of the property, behind-the-scenes production facilities included. Two other couples joined, very nice folks. Tasting along the tour included 8 wines, followed by a sit-down 4-course meal in their private club room. It is guided by an exceptional sommelier Kevin. We highly recommend visiting Stone Tower and try to book a tour if available. Property, wine and food all exceptional!
Had a wonderful experience here this past weekend. It’s a huge and beautiful winery with plenty of seating and food/drink options. Loved the view as well. Their Prosecco was fantastic—highly recommend getting a bottle. Staff were all very pleasant. Kid and dog friendly. Must visit!
Enjoy our beautiful Virginia countryside views on summer end of September . We have wonderful afternoon till 6 pm with my cousins. Tried their signature house-made ciabatta. Also tried 3 different wins in test try. Then buy 2 wine bottles with food. Enjoy the food , wine and summer view. It was feel like having the best moment of life. A place for family, friends and date too. I would love to go there again this summer.
Loved this winery! Beautiful and relaxing atmosphere with a great view of the vineyards. The wines were excellent and the tasting was both fun and informative. A wonderful place to enjoy a glass of wine and unwind.

We loved this place. We had a 13, 5 and 1 year old and they all had a blast! They had so many animals that you could feed and even hold. They had a few different grounds and mini houses to play in. We happened to be there when a magic show was performed and our 5 year old loved that! We spent 4+ hours here. It was a great way to spend the afternoon. I will say staff wasnt the friendliest and I thought it was strange that we were handed our wrist bands to put on ourselves. Otherwise I had no complaints Also it got busier as the day went on so earlier the better!
A fun place to bring our smaller children. Has a good amount of play structures and a decent amount of animals. It has been worth the hour commute to get here and the ticket fees. The only down side is trying to explain to my kids multiple times why they can’t use any of the moon bounces even though they are blown up. Also there is no food options besides some snacks in the main areas.
We’ve been here several times and it never disappoints! The animals are all very well taken care of. More recently, we went for their fall festival and it was so awesome that we went twice. The kids and adults all had a great time!
The park has some playgrounds and some animals. It is pretty fun for the kids, but the park is not as big as the zoos. There are over 2 dozens of different kinds of animals, including llamas, turtles, serval, zebras, snakes, etc. I think the park more closely resembles an animal farms. The playgrounds and slide are very kids friendly. Over all we had a good experience, but the entire park can be visited within 2 hours, so i personally don't think it's worth it to have a seasonal pass.
Wonderful kids activity for anyone who lives in the local area. I had heard about it for years and decided to check it out, and was pleasantly surprised at how many animals they had and how friendly the staff were! We will definitely be back another weekend day when we need a good 1/2 day kids activity.
I had a blast! I'm a major animal lover and this place has such a huge variety of cool and unique animals! I'm sure it's more meant for children but my husband and I had a wonderful experience.
We had a fun time at the Animal Park. A friend in our group had a manual wheelchair which was challenging on the gravel pathways and hills, but was doable with us helping her. Pay attention to signs about which animals can be fed or not, most that can are in the upper barn area. It was great to be able to handfeed several animals - the goats were particularly eager. I do appreciate that all of the animals had a sign telling us about their breed. It would be great if they could all also share their names/info specific to the individual animal(s) there like likes/dislikes. They have some smaller animals indoors like snakes and a chinchilla, but most are outside through the gift shop. There were also slides on the hill and play structures available, so your family can choose to play as well during your visit and make the most of your time/money spent on entry. There was plenty of available on-site parking when we went on a Sunday in the late morning. I bought my ticket online in advance but had to buy my animal food in person which was an extra $5, which includes the cup if you want to take it home as a souvenir. Note, however, that they do have a 'refill' coin-operated machine (like the candy ones) for $0.50 in the barn as well.
First time visiting and we went for the fall festival but the fact you can see and feed the animals is included in the ticket, we could not say no! Everyone was polite and friendly! Will be back.

The cemetery has an interesting arrangement of headstones installed in a half circle, with the US flag in the center. I'm not really into history but I have the appreciation of men fighting wars for the right reasons. Often, I do wonder if all wars were/are fought for the right reason rather than the bad masqueraded as good? God blessed them and may all of them rest in peace.
The third smallest national cemetery in the U.S. contains the remains of 54 Union soldiers interred in 25 graves. The reason for the numbers mismatch is that all but one of the 25 gravesites marks the spot of “Boxes containing Portions of 2 or 3 bodies–some not more than one except the scull or rather 2 sculls,” (sic) according to an 1877 letter written by the Leesburg postmaster. The reason for the number 54 is that there were 54 skulls reburied. The only identified body in the cemetery is 22-year-old Pvt. James Allen, Co. H, 15th Massachusetts Infantry.
Amazing piece of history we visited on Memorial Day to honor our Veterans. Unlike our foreign War Vets, these brave soldiers were some of our very first heros to make the supreme sacrifice to protect the Freedom we enjoy today within our country's borders. Clean, beautiful, easy to navigate trails, and a story that will engage your curiosity. We highly reccommend!
I found this to be a very peaceful and interesting historic graveyard. It is quite small, but there are a few plaques around to provide information. The setting is pleasant, and there are some good light hiking trails around that allow you to explore the setting of the civil war battle that took place here.
Well kept National Cemetery and definitely small.
Quiet, safe, clean nice to take a walk here
More than i orginally i thought here.

Great Atmosphere, great beer selection. The Raw Oysters are absolutely amazing! Both the raw and grilled oysters are delightfully fresh and flavorful! The entire staff was friendly and engaging. We came from Northern NJ to Virginia to celebrate my brother’s 50th and decided to meet here and surprise him with a group of his friends! We had a great time! Very spacious venue.
Dog-friendly, kid-friendly and beer- friendly , spacious setup with a diverse set of beers and food. Nachos are really good, as are the sandwiches . The 12 glass flights are a great deal if you aren’t sure. It’s an awesome place on a sunny day when you have time to sleep d just drinking a d eating and hanging out.
Vanish Brewery – A Hidden Gem Worth Visiting! I had such a fun time at Vanish Brewery, even though it was raining during my visit. The cozy, rustic country atmosphere made it easy to relax and enjoy the experience. There’s plenty of outdoor seating with benches spread across a scenic green landscape—perfect for hanging out with friends or just soaking in the view. The variety of beers was impressive, and everything I tried was delicious. The service was friendly and efficient, and the food hit the spot. One thing that really stood out and touched my heart was a powerful piece of wall art titled “Women, Life, Freedom,” along with a beer named after it. It was unexpected to see such meaningful representation in a brewery setting, and it left a lasting impression on me—not to mention, the beer itself was fantastic! I’ll definitely be going back, and if you haven’t visited Vanish Brewery yet, you absolutely should. It’s a special place with great vibes, great drinks, and a touch of something deeper.

great family friendly brewery with good collection of IPAs and good food. they have a nice playground which is really good. live music also is a plus. 2 big indoor spaces and lots of outdoor spaces.
Loved this place! Our first time in Leesburg, VA and found this spot. A lot of space outside for the kids to play, they have a whole playground, and tables outside. The food was also delicious. We had the bbq platter, cubano sandwich, raw oysters, margaritas and sangria. Definitely recommend!
We were already big fans of Vanish Brewery, so when it came time to plan my Aunt Tanya's 70th birthday party, we knew it would be the perfect spot--and it absolutely was! We hosted the party in the Arcadia Room, which was such a great space--comfortable, super stylish, and perfect for gathering with friends and family. Think cozy speakeasy!! The A/V setup was a great bonus so we could enjoy family photos all day!! The whole event was a hit from start to finish. Huge thanks to Jonathan and Hilda, the amazing owners, for making Vanish such a special place. Anne, the event manager, was a dream to work with--super helpful and made planning a breeze. Big love to Sally and Joey from the event staff who took such good care of us during the party, and to Drake, the manager, who kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes. The catering was excellent, and everyone raved about the food. The kids had a blast running around the playground and exploring the toy shop, while the adults loved sneaking off to the Oyster Shack and the Vintage Camper Boutique for a little fun of their own. Aunt Tanya felt so celebrated, and our guests had a truly wonderful time. We couldn't have asked for a better place--or better people--to help us mark such a special occasion. Thank you, Vanish!
Sadly, we won’t be back! Came out to hear some good live music and enjoy their great beverage selections but in spite of the guitar player being very talented with a good, diverse set list, we were unable to enjoy the experience because of how many infants, toddlers and elementary age kids were running around, screaming, and distracting the performer. There were more children under nine years old than adults. I would never have thought it was OK to bring small children to essentially a bar on a Friday night and let them run around. We taught our children to sit at the table with us in restaurants and use indoor voices. If Vanish wants to appeal to their families, they should hire children’s performers, rather than talented adult genre performers or set up a separate space for family friendly fun. I really felt like I was at Chucky Cheese! Oh, and one really nasty Mom actually changed her baby’s diaper right at there table! Sadly, we left early and felt like we wasted a good Fall Friday night! My suggestion is to make the entertainment area PG-13 during evening performance and turn off that video game when performers are on stage. You make more revenue on drinking adults than small children so don’t drive your mature and responsible customers away by encouraging irresponsible parents who are too cheep for a babysitter…

Had a bit of time between family events while visiting Leesburg and decided to take the tour of Dodona Manor, and boy are we glad we did! We read that the furnishings were authentic for the time when General Marshall and his wife lived there, but had no sense of how it would transport us back in time. Our docent Alexis and apprentice Greg were great. We really felt like we were present in the past. The short introductory film was interesting All in all, time well spent! We would encourage all to visit this important historical site!
Unexpectedly interesting tour by knowledgeable docent. Learned a lot about this man who had such an incredible role in world’s history. What a gift to the public to restore the house and its history. Highly recommend
Went on the tour of the house. Started with a video that went over Marshall’s life then a very thorough tour of the house, Marshall’s home life, and personality. This was a long tour but was full of interesting facts and the guide was extremely well informed. The time went by easily and the house was not stuffy. Would go back again and it was worth the time. Make sure to buy the tour tickets ahead to claim a spot.
We had a fun, fact-filled tour of the Marshall home! Fascinating that so many of the couple’s belongings remain. The house has been beautifully restored and the gardens are lovely.
Our tour guide was so knowledgable about General Marshall and his wife, Katherine. The house is very well preserved. The grounds are immaculate. This tour is a hidden treasure about a man that made such a huge impact on the entire world and economy.
Very nice tour. Our docent Blaine shared a lot of info. We enjoyed hearing about the Marshall family and George Marshall’s successful military career.
The Marshall House has been beautifully preserved so you can see how one of the most important leaders of the 20th century lived. Marshall's leadership and intelligence were central not only to the Allied victory in World War II, but also to the post-war reconstruction of Europe. Despite his major role in world affairs, he was a humble man who tended to his own vegetable garden that is still active on his property today. The excellent 1.5 hour tour was led by a very knowledgable and friendly docent. Parking was free. And to top it off, you can relax and discuss the magnitude of Marshall's contributions right next door at Loudoun Brewing Company's tasting room.
A wonderful home and history I was mostly unfamiliar with. The docents guiding the tour were excellent and seemed to really share their knowledge and respect for George C. Marshall. Made me want to read and learn more about this incredible man and the influence he had on history. The home was like taking a step back in time. Well worth the visit.

Nice lovely winery, wine is really good as I enjoyed the tastings. They have a live band that plays and an outdoor seating area as well. The fireplace is nice and cozy to sit at. They grow their own white and red grapes which is nice. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. I do recommend coming here to enjoy the delicious wines they offer.
I partner with the vineyard doing sea glass tree classes and crushed glass events - Painting With Friends by Tammy. They are pleasant to work with and extremely accommodating. My guests enjoy sipping wine while being creative. I highly recommend if you are a business to partner with them because they have a beautiful location, amazing wine and wonderful staff.
My family and I had a wonderful experience. My boyfriend proposed to me here at the Casanel vineyards & winery. Theresa and her team were the best, they made this experience very special for us. The wine was AMAZING! We will definitely be coming here again!
Visited this vineyard recently and had an amazing time!!! It was beautiful, has amazing picnic areas where you can bring your own food and enjoy their wine. Wine tasting was around 20$ and they had a great selection. Highly recommend!
I've been coming to Casanel for years, not only because of the wine, but also because of staff who are like extended family to me. The special events this winery puts on are always top notch, the grounds are beautiful, and their wines are some of the best that Virginia has to offer. Their Carménère is a rarity in the US and not to be missed! Special recognition goes out to Anna and her crew for always being so attentive and kind! Can't wait until my next visit!
Fabulous experience on Memorial Day. 7 wine guided tasting was wonderful. We enjoyed every wine - with the Pinot and Cab Sav as standouts. The setting is lovely and quiet with many spaces to spread out and enjoy your visit. But the customer service pushed this from a 4- to a 5-star experience. All of the staff were friendly and gracious. We will be back!
Spent a lovely Thanksgiving Monday afternoon at this beautiful, quiet and peaceful winery with good old friends. The indoor and outdoor seating is very welcoming and the fall flight of wines were perfect to sip and enjoy. The service provided by Eric was exceptional! Thank You!
The winery was really cozy and the staff was really friendly and helpful. Plenty of parting space and a nice list of wine.

very beautiful and clean. The historic town is well maintained. Moreover the public library in the heart of the town has so many historic law books, even the one from 1823, exactly 200 years old. Also the staffs were really good.
Nice downtown, walkable, may restaurants, coffee shops, etc. Some of the streets remind me of an old English Village. You could spend several hours exploring the streets and shops. We came here just to pass some time until later that day when were to attend a wedding. If you could afford to live near the historic district, you would have may choices for eating, drinking, browsing or just walking.
It’s a beautiful historical district which you should consider visiting if you have time. You will not be disappointed.
Beautiful place, a juxtaposition of old and new that creates a charming town. Amazing resturants, events, and people. Amazing location for street photography
Very pretty! I really had fun walking around the district. I'm really happy that they had free parking by the city hall and made it easier to travel the town and take some cool pictures. Walking was also really fun and I felt safe!
Just did a drive thru. Smaller than we thought. Limited street parking but had some cool places
I only drove through there but it looked wonderful! ☺️
There didn’t seem to be anything but a few clothing stores and tons of restaurants. Not the historic town I’m used to visiting.

Excellent wine (both whites and reds), friendly and personable staff, quaint and beautiful setting! Bonus points for the fantastic truffle pairing they offer! Not a ton of seating, but that’s part of the charm.
Great wines, beautiful location, quaint surroundings, private atmosphere and friendly staff that go out of their way to make you feel accommodated. This is a hidden gem that isn’t too crowded on weekends and boasts of both experimental and traditional award winning wines. Very different from other Virginia wineries and the truffle pairing with wine is another unique aspect. Special shout out to Wes for sharing his knowledge and passion for the wines here, Kim for all her help with the wine pickups and Tony for his generosity and charm which has made our tasting experiences memorable, which is why we opted in for the wine club membership! Definitely recommend visiting.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Hidden Gem Full of History, Charm, and the Perfect Place to Celebrate Willowcroft Farm Vineyards is one of those rare places that instantly feels special the moment you arrive. Nestled high on a ridge in Loudoun County, it’s actually the oldest winery in the county, and you can truly feel that sense of history and pride in every detail. The drive up through the countryside sets the tone — quiet, scenic, and full of that rustic Virginia charm. The tasting room sits inside a gorgeous historic Amish barn, giving the entire experience a cozy, authentic vibe. The wood beams, warm lighting, and vintage character make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time, but with the added luxury of great wine and a welcoming staff. The upstairs loft area is beautifully set up with comfortable seating and makes the perfect space for a small celebration — whether it’s a birthday, engagement, or just a weekend getaway with friends and family. Outside, the charm continues with a lovely picnic area and plenty of space to unwind. You can sip your wine while overlooking the rolling hills and vineyards, and it’s easy to lose track of time just soaking in the view. It’s intimate, peaceful, and refreshingly down-to-earth — everything you’d want from a local Virginia winery without any of the pretense. What makes Willowcroft so special is that it’s not just a place to taste wine — it’s a place to connect. Whether you’re chatting with friends in the loft, celebrating something meaningful, or simply enjoying a quiet glass outdoors, there’s an undeniable magic here. If you love good wine, beautiful scenery, and places with true character and history, Willowcroft is absolutely worth the visit. 🍷✨
Beautiful wines to pair with a nice view. Go pass the stone winery to find a gem in the hills.
Wonderful wine - great staff - remarkable views - and we enjoyed a quiet enjoyable afternoon! No huge crowds.
Willowcroft has become one of our favorite stops in Leesburg. In an area where you can basically trip over a winery every few steps, Willowcroft blows the others away. It’s smaller and more rustic than places like Stone Tower, but it’s worlds more welcoming, the view is incredible, and the wine is the best in the area. The truffle and wine pairing was fabulous! Highly recommend!
Great views, open space, and some delicious wines. Some of the wines were definitely not served at the best temperature to bring out their flavors though (especially on a warm day), so do not be afraid to ask for an ice bucket!
I can't say enough good things about Willowcroft Farm Vineyards and Winery. Talk about a hidden gem off the beaten path! The location is private and relaxing with breathtaking scenery (even during a severe thunderstorm)! The $12 tasting price for 7 wines is one of the best tasting prices in the Leesburg area. The wines were great and the service was even better. They offer outdoor picnic tables and plenty of indoor seating options. It's hard to believe that this is the original winery in VA because it is so well maintained. I will certainly be back with friends so I can boast to them about discovering such a great place to enjoy wine and VA views!

We went there on a Sunday (11:30am). Had the wine tasting, where the staff explained the history of the place and the wines that were being served. Also, we had a tour with Bill, the owner. Amazing experience; he is very passionate and knowledgeable about the history of the place. Wine was exquisite, our group’s favorite were Friendship and Adeline. My group had a different experience and we totally LOVED it!
A very beautiful setting . The wines on the tasting menu were u quite blends of different wines. The owners are very accommodating. We enjoyed our experience.
My husband & I had a very nice visit to this small, family owned winery. I had found it but we were planning on going to nearing Stone Tower (where we’ve been before) because they had more food options. However, traffic turning into ST seemed busy so we opted to go here instead and I’m very happy we did! It was very scenic and relaxing, the staff were kind and knowledgeable, and we really enjoyed the rose. I would have liked more food options, especially vegetarian, but the snack box was sufficient and we got food afterward. Overall, it was a very nice afternoon spent on their porch sipping wine.
A Hidden Gem with Warm Hospitality! We stumbled upon this charming vineyard and discovered a treasure trove of wine, warmth, and welcoming hearts! Bill Hatch's understated introduction belied the rich history of this 200-year-old winery, beautifully articulated by Lulu. *Highlights* 1. *Warm Welcome*: Rob's friendly demeanor made us feel right at home. 2. *Family-Friendly*: My kids (12 & 9) loved the ambiance and felt included. 3. *Non-Pretentious*: Unassuming, down-to-earth atmosphere, perfect for a cozy visit. 4. *Wine Varieties*: Excellent selection for tasting, showcasing their winemaking expertise. 5. *Knowledgeable Staff*: Lulu's passion for the winery's history and wine-making process shone through. *Experience* From the moment we arrived, we felt like part of the family, gathered for Thanksgiving. The rustic charm and lack of glitz only added to the vineyard's allure. *Recommendation* Zephaniah Farm Vineyard is a must-visit for: - Wine enthusiasts seeking authentic experiences - Families seeking welcoming environments - Those craving warmth and hospitality

This family-owned estate seamlessly blends historical charm with exceptional hospitality, creating an unforgettable destination for wine enthusiasts and history buffs alike.

The stories passed down through generations add a unique dimension to the wine-tasting experience, making each sip more meaningful. The vineyard's grounds are nothing short of spectacular.

It's more than just a vineyard – it's a living piece of Virginia's agricultural and cultural heritage, offering an experience that will linger in your memory long after the last sip of wine.
The staff here is always SO lovely and welcoming! Each time we have been here we’ve found a new wine that we want to take home, usually thanks to the recommendation and guidance of whoever is helping us. Sitting on the back deck is always a lovely experience and the makes for the perfect quiet afternoon with friends or family! Highly recommend for anyone looking for great wine and a lowkey afternoon in a beautiful setting.
We stopped in here for a tasting and tour. The wines were phenomenal. Loved pretty much everything we tried. We got a tour of the cellars and house from Bill (one of the owners) and he was so knowledgeable and a great story teller. We will definitely return!
The only reason for a one star review is a staff member, Kim. We had the best time, however, she single-handedly dropped a 5 star review to a one star. She’s rude and seems like an unhappy person. I feel bad for her, but she shouldn’t be in the service industry. The wine was appreciated and the rest of the staff was amazing. Hopefully, others don’t encounter her so they’ll enjoy a better experience than my friends and I had.

An absolutely phenomenal experience! My family and I came here to celebrate a retirement. We were late for our reservation. Some of our party was running extremely late. We, accidentally, stayed past closing. The entire time the staff were unbelievably professional and, most importantly, kind. They answered our numerous questions about the winery and its processes, the menu, and the history. We had fantastic wine and a honestly Elizabeth and her team made the already great experience better. We checked out in such a hurry after we realized we’d stayed past closing that we forgot several bottles of wine we bought. Elizabeth went out of her way on her off time to make sure we got our bottles that night despite us offering to come back the next day or pay for shipping. The winery and its landscape were beautiful. The wine was one of a kind and delicious. The food was beyond delicious. But what really makes this winery worth the trip is the staff that believes in it.
We came here during a day trip to Leesburg and this happened to be one of our stops in the morning. We ended up doing to wine pairing for our lunch and my god. The food was amazing (we had the oyster soup, unsure of the salad, the short ribs, and the pannacotta) and the wines paired perfectly. If we're ever in the area again we will definitely comeback here. Shannon was great for us and we'll definitely be back! Be advised that during harvest time (which was now for us) attracts LOTS of flies. No star reduction because it comes with the territory or wineries, breweries, etc.
My man treated me to this wonderful winery. Beautiful scenery while sitting outside. The service was exceptional. We had Shannon as our waitress and when I say she had the best hospitality service and she was very attentive to us I mean it. I really appreciate how well she serviced us. Compliments to the executive chiefs as well, they made our experience wonderful. Oh the Trinity was our favorite wine.
Enjoyed everything about this Winery/Vineyard. I love testing out new wineries and this is one of my favorites as of now. The staff was friendly, funny and accommodating. The food was incredible offering farm to table plates with menus changing repeatedly. The wine was great, I'm a cabernet gal and they had a variety which I absolutely loved. You can't bring outside food but the menu option offered is incredible. They have table and chairs strategically arranged all around from inside to outside under covered patio or under trellises. Picnic tables settled all through out with umbrellas for a gorgeous day. I went with two of my good friends for a birthday and I'd say a great time was had by all.
Wine and food tasting was absolutely fantastic! Compliments to the chef! Food is all farm-to-table, and I highly recommend the Viognier, quinoa arugula salad, and pumpkin canolis.
Food and wine was good. The atmosphere was cumbersome. Didn't feel relaxing or welcoming at all. There was a "members only" outside patio area, as well as inside seating that looked very cramped, and dark. Outside seating for the non members in the back yard. A different protocol for each. It just felt weird. No music and shrubs/flowers unkept. Photo of the cheeseboard.
Absolutely amazing! I could go on and on about the service, the wine, and the scenery. Everyone who works there is friendly, down to earth, talkative, and more than happy to answer questions. No "wine snobs" here 😀 A very welcoming place for everyone! The wine is great too! Not one wine was a disappointment. Try the Viognier! You will love it! Straight from the Blue Ridge Mountains! Our backyard! And who doesn't love fruit from your backyard! Also, if you have a chance to try anything from the executive chef... do it! This was my 3rd time visiting this winery, and it's still the same experience each time! Just an update.. have been to two more dinners served by this winery, and both were great. Still recommend after several visits!
My wife and I had a great time here. The food is incredible and the service is equally as impressive. We made reservations and sat outside. Great atmosphere to sit back and relax. I highly recommend.

Pretty cool and helpful. Skiing inside is harder, but the tips we were given we so helpful. I still hear Nancy’s voice when I’m skiing down the mountain to help my form. We will be buying another package next season for the whole family.
Awesome place for beginners learning to ski and intermediates wanting to improve. Will be back. LOVE from MD.
Our twelve year-old who had never skied previously thoroughly enjoyed the lesson, and he is now eager to hit the slopes. I was very impressed at the teaching demeanor of the instructor. She reminded me of a grade school teacher who knows exactly what is needed to keep students engaged. Highly recommended.
A couple days ago, 4/26/2025, I completed my first 2-hr group lesson at Inside Ski Training Center. It was a fantastic experience from the 3 instructors to the training and equipment/facility. There is little doubt in my mind that I will be able to improve significantly by the 2025/2026 ski season since I have already signed up for a number of additional lessons and plan on performing the agility, strength, and stretching routines outside of the lessons. Skiing on the treadmill is not like skiing on snow - it's much better. The treadmill removes all variables one would encounter on the slopes, from snow and weather, sun and lighting, terrain, and other skiers, and leaves you with only your balance and coordination to focus attention on. Also, the instructors are standing right in front of you with a clear view and provide instant feedback. Since I use the CARV ski sensor I will be able to quantify my improvement across different metrics when I return to the slopes next season. I have been skiing 2 or 3 days a year for many years but have a CARV ski IQ stuck at 120. I'm confident that continued training and instruction at Inside Ski Training Center will enable me to significantly improve that score by early next ski season. I plan on updating my feedback at that time. Most of my skiing is at whitetail ski resort in PA where I can comfortably ski all the slopes except for Exhibition, the mogul run, that I have not been able to ski straight down top to bottom without stopping. So, from a qualitative standpoint my expectation is that I'll be able to do that as well by the end of next season. Inside Ski Ski Training Center is a great facility with excellent instructors and I highly recommend skiers at all levels try it at least once.
The ski instructors were top notch. Very professional and knowledgeable. Great place for beginner skiers to learn in a low pressure atmosphere. The owners are welcoming and helpful.
My son had a blast at Inside Ski Training Center's summer ski camp! They dramatically improved his skills and made sure the kids were having a great time. I highly recommend them!
So much fun. My Dad and I went here for a beginner lesson with Alex and he was such a fantastic teacher. Also Brandon, the manager was extremely accommodating and had great customer service. I will be back and encourage anyone else to try it too.
Everything was amazing - Rich and Nancy were so friendly and professional. Rich did a great job teaching my 2 daughters how to improve their skills. Nancy recommended a great ski boot fitter in Denver (where my oldest daughter is moving). My instructor, Chi, was very patient and helpful. I will definitely start coming on a regular basis to prepare myself before hitting the mountains. I highly recommend this place for anyone wanting to practice and/or learn how to ski!
