People ask me sometimes why I built a tour company around Loudoun instead of somewhere with a bigger name.
I did my WSET training looking at wine regions all over the world. What struck me about Loudoun was that the producers here were figuring out what actually grows well on this soil, on this side of the Blue Ridge, rather than chasing what sells somewhere else. Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Viognier, and now Tannat and sparkling wine, planted because the soil favors them.
That kind of decision-making is what eventually gets a region taken seriously. Decanter noticing this month was not luck. It is two decades of Loudoun winemakers making that same unglamorous choice, one vintage at a time.
Come see what they have built. Tour dates are on the site. Link in bio.
