Visit Us
Willowcroft boasts breathless panoramic views of Loudoun Valley and the Blue Ridge Mountains. Willowcroft’s personal attention to detail, both in the vineyard and in 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 the vineyards, which have replaced the fruit trees, yield superior grapes. The rustic beauty of the winery, housed in the old red barn, and the award-winning wines, will give you reason to return to this peaceful spot.
A visit to this winery is a unique experience, as it provides a rare insight into winemaking in Virginia from the oldest winery in Loudoun County, VA.
Tasting Room
Our tasting room is located in the historic red barn, providing the rustic beauty and charm for your winery experience.
Vineyard Tour
