Story

As the name of our vineyard suggests, family is a primary focus of our vineyard and winery, along with high quality, approachable wines, and simplicity in approach.

Our family is growing, this project is part of their future, and we want to pass it on to them.  Likewise, we want to share our wine with other families.  Those who share wine and good times with us will become part of our family.  

Your experience at our vineyard will be simple, but, we think, well thought out and enjoyable.  All of our patrons should find wines to their liking and we hope the discerning patron will say (as our friend and consultant has said) “this is fabulous.”  

Our pitch is good wine, Loudoun County mountain and vineyard views, and a pleasant place to enjoy them that fits the beautiful surroundings. 

We strive to be responsible land stewards. For example, we use high quality, low drift, sprayers and other sensible controls in our efforts to keep spray materials we use at our vineyard site at our vineyard site.  We strive to use the lowest effective dosage for spray materials by which we hope to reduce spray impacts on our land.  We cooperate with state and federal government efforts to foster and protect grape harvests. 

From our beginning, we informed our neighbors about our plans, including vineyard establishment, buildings, and other activities.  We want them to enjoy living near our vineyard and winery and we want to preserve the farming tradition that lives on in western Loudoun.  

We care about our environment.  For our new winery, we plan to have winery waste water go into EPA approved injection wells after significant pre-treatment.  We are using or plan to use significant building insulation (above current construction standards), dark sky lighting, efficient mini split and other HVAC systems, and more.

We hope you'll visit us.
