Loudoun Valley

Things to Do

If you're staying a few days, here's what we love nearby.

Wineries & Breweries

Loudoun is DC wine country — and increasingly beer country too. A short list of our favorites within a short drive of the venue.

  • Bluemont Vineyard

    Stunning mountain views, wine flights, fireplaces, and a very elevated Loudoun wine country atmosphere. One of the closest wineries to the venue.

  • Dirt Farm Brewing

    A local favorite with panoramic views of the Loudoun Valley, outdoor seating, and farm-brewed beer. Great for casual groups and sunset drinks.

  • Bear Chase Brewing Company

    Large brewery with incredible views, lots of outdoor seating, live music on many weekends, and a lively atmosphere.

  • Bluemont Station Brewery & Winery

    More relaxed and pub-style with both beer and wine options plus food onsite.
